In July 2019 I went to Hangzhou , China myself , this is the first time in my life that I travel alone , I decided to go to Hangzhou because my friend went there before and tell me that West Lake is such a romantic place I have to see it with my real eyes. So when I have a short vacation while I study in China , I decide to book the Hi-speed train and hostel and then travel to Hangzhou alone. I planed my trip by follow the LonelyPlanet guidebook and some suggestions from my friends. The first day I went to Lingyin Feilai Peak Scenic Area ,this is the Mountain with a sculpture of Buddha , I have to walk a lot to travel around this place ,In this place I found a chinese girl who is same aged to me she also travel alone with her high heels and she walked a lot like me but I wear sneakers that really surprise me that she did not feel tried. I went to my hostel and find something at the walking street at night for dinner while I come back to the hostel and started eating the man in front of me he watching on mobile phone started to look at me, and then we started a small talk. He is Brazilian who working in Hangzhou and also come to here for a rest in the vacation. After I finished dinner he asked me to walk in the walking street in front of our hostel , luckily he had electric bike he ask me to riding with him around West Lake. West Lake in day is really hot I did not find any romantic feel like my friend said, but West lake at night with the light around and the wind blow is such a romantic scene that I never seen before. The next day before I leaved Hangzhou I went to the park in West lake again while I'm walking I found a pavilion and the pink lotus in the lake I think this is just a ordinary pavilion but while I leaving I decided to turn back to take the photo of the pavilion again ,once I turn back I found that pavilion is the same one on the LonelyPlanet book cover that really surprise me. In evening I have to go back to my university , because I have enough time so I decided to go to train station by bus instead of metro, when I get in the bus I ask bus driver to make sure that the bus will arrive at train station, when the bus is almost arrive the bus driver ,he tell me again how many station left before arrive at train station , and when we arrive at the train station the bus driver tell me again how to walk into the station , I really happy that he care of me who are traveling alone, and Hangzhou trip really made me proud of myself, I hope I can have a nice trip like this again.
