Different views of the West Lake Gardens in Hangzhou, China

As I was toured around Hangzhou, a big part of my sights was around the West Lake area. And I have to apologize because I should have said that in all my previous post that are from the area.

This area is a very large and has so many different things to see that you will never be able to see it all in one day. But like I have been saying, that day I was taking this tour, it was an express one. For good and bad, with the heat, it got me to see things quickly and bad because​ I know I missed things that I would have loved to have spent​ hours photographing.

This first photo is a set of stairs that caught my eye as we approached them. No people on them and the shadows were making the lead up to the top very interesting.

This one is at the top of the stair and the view is to the right of the path that led​ to this. To me, ​ it is a story of why the Chinese would make a beautiful enterance to such a interesting archutecture. I have more photos showing the structure that I will share antother time.

As you start walking through the different areas of this section of the park, you are reminded of the Chinese Budist religious culture. This is also another subject that I have many photos on, that requires its own post.

And this last photo is of and enscription on a stone. I have no idea what it says, but it was all alone and in an area by its self. To me that meant something. Plus I have said before that the written Chinese languege is like art to me, so it also got my attentions for that.
