Last Saturday we went for a day trip Hangzhou with a bunch of old friends in Shanghai. We took the ever-smooth bullet train - beaming us there in like 1h15 mins (for your reference - last time we took the bus back from Hangzhou to Shanghai and it took us 4hrs).
It was such a coincidence that we found Meijiawu & the Bamboo lined Path at Yunqi (thanks to More Hangzhou) - it was only 20 mins (or 41 RMB cab ride away) from the train station. And there we were in the midst of lush greens and tea fields:
Not only that we were even touching actual soil while hiking up the mountains for awhile - (note: hiking paths in China are usually very nicely paved) - but we also didn't see a single soul for like 2 hours! It was really a great day. And for the people in Shanghai reading this - go to Meijiawu when in Hangzhou! (not the Westlake) It's only 1h15min way by train - really a perfect getaway for a day or two to get out the hustle and bustle of downtown Shanghai.
