Hangzhou & West Lake : Close to Shanghai, Hangzhou and the famous Xi Hu (West Lake) attract travelers from all around to its dreamery, ethereal peace. At least, that's what they say. I found it be just ok.

Suzhou : I managed to swing a couple days in Suzhou at the end of my trip before heading back to Beijing. I did see a couple nice gardens, the city's main calling. It would have been better to visit "The Venice of the East" in the fall or spring, I imagine. Still, a nice place to see.

Han Yingling (Xi'an) : I had a few hours to kill in Xi'an between Yinchuan and my flight to Guilin and Yangshuo. A young Chinese tour guide told me about a relatively new museum nearby, Han Yingling, that is much less crowded than the famous Terra Cotta Warriors I had seen the year before. I took her advice and was very pleased.
