Warm yourself up with palatable cuisines in Yuhang
Hangzhou’s winter is long and chilly. To battle against the cold, locals usually flock into the suburban Yuhang to feast on mutton and fish during the Yuhang Cuisine Festival (余杭美食节). Along the cuisine street flanked by countless restaurants, you can sample a great variety of delicacies, such as stewed mutton, black fish, steamed turtle, roast duck and chicken soup, as well as various snacks and desserts. They are so delicious that the food-obsessed populace from Shanghai will stream in.
Walk into painting-like snow scenery along Broken Bridge
West Lake displays different charms in different weather. For the wonderful scenery of the lake, the sunny lake is not as pretty as the rainy lake; the rainy lake is not as pretty as the moonlit lake and the moonlit lake is not as pretty as the snowy lake. The Broken Bridge looks exceedingly beautiful when carpeted with a thin layer of snow. Lingering Snow on Broken Bridge, one of West Lake's Ten Scenes, was selected to represent its fantastic snow scenery. The tranquil West Lake will sink into sweet dreams like a mysterious sleeping beauty wearing a white dress. The pavilions, arched bridges, pagodas, causeways and islands will all be fringed with lavish white lace, while distant hills clad in white, grow more enchanting. Stroll along this bridge and the famous Bai Causeway will make you feel like you have entered into a traditional Chinese ink painting. Any photo taken from any angle, will be exceptionally attractive at this time.
