) is one of the gems south of the
mighty Yangzi River. In a charming vignette of traditional China pagodas rise
on hills above the lake, willow branches hang limply over the water and boats
float unhurriedly across a liquid expanse. This may be one of China's most-vis-
ited panoramas, but the lake is so large you always find space to admire the
scenery and drift into a reverie. Try to spend an evening in Hangzhou if you
can, as the lake saves its best side for nightfall.
