Excursion to Hangzhou: West Lake
This weeked our Global Navigiators traveled via high speed train from Shanghai to Hangzhou to enjoy a weekend excursion in Zhejiang province. To start off our trip, we visited the West Lake, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is famous for it's scenery including bridges, pagodas temples and more.
Our tour guides, Lilli and Alex met us at the Hangzhou train station and will be our hosts throughout the weekend in Hangzhou.
Our first stop: West Lake!
Students got a view of the whole lake and it's surroundings via boat cruise.
Finally give a wave to our students as they head on to the next location!
