This was just some random area I stumbled upon before meeting Layla back at the hotel before we departed Hangzhou. It’s one of the famous 10 scenes of West Lake. Something about a brewery or monks or both. Anyway it was of course gorgeous and unlike anything I’d scene before. I took over 100 photos.
Layla and I ended our Hangzhou time with a lunch at this totally in retrospect not for tourists restaurant. It was like in a walled off and guarded area once owned by some general or dignitary or something. The guard at the gate looked real confused, and our driver didn’t have anything to offer. I managed to communicate “lunch,” and we were in. As you can see we got numerous amazing weird dishes, tea and beers, really great views of the grounds, and of course Santa all for like $93 total.
