03rd Feb 2009: Hangzhou/Yunxi Bamboo Garden 杭州/云栖竹径




Its our last day in Hangzhou and the last few places we visited are the Longjing tea garden and the Bamboo garden. If you are into drinking chinese tea, Longjing would not be unfamiliar. Unfortunately, the good grade can be rather expensive (more than 1250000RMB/g) and I have learnt that most of the time, they are given away as gift by rich people or corrupted officials.

The all natural Bamboo garden is another nice place to visit and in fact the best place I like in Hangzhou. The quietness from the surrounding can really bring peace to your mind and soul. It is however far from the city so reaching there can be a challenge. The garden also has long history and many Emperor have visited the place.
