Hangzhou es un pueblito de 9 millones de habitantes con un hermoso lago al centro, lleno de parques y senderos al más puro estilo tradicional chino. Un deleite para pasear en cualquier época del año, excepto en las fiestas en que se satura de turistas nacionales, en especial la muy temida por todo extranjero: semana dorada, en que todo se retaca, los precios suben al cielo y pasear por sus jardines se convierte en algo como la imposible tarea de transbordar en el metro Pantitlán en hora pico.
