2杭州之旅 A Visit to Hangzhou

It was my first visit to Hangzhou. In one and a half days I hurried through more than ten scenic spots. The West Lake in spring is gracefully pleasant its beauty unparallelled. Walking along the lake I saw willows bowing in shiness. The water is so blue. The pavilions throw their shadows in the water. What is most impressive is the blooming peach flowers vying with each other in showing their beauty. The tea bushes the screens and quiet bamboos are left in my memory.

这是我第一次来到杭州。在一天半的时间里，我匆匆参观了十多个景点。春天里的西湖特别美丽，它的美丽无与伦比。沿着西湖走，我看到垂柳在阳光下发着绿莹莹的光，而湖水是那样的蓝。亭台倒映在水面上。最令人印象深刻的是桃花盛开时竞先展示他们的美丽。而茶树丛中，树丛和安静的竹子都留在我的记忆里。

When I walked for half an hour in the sun and suddenly saw a stretch of bamboos I could not help crying out "I'll go and sit in there." After three hours' walk a murmuring stream came into my view. The water was clear and I could see through it to the bottom. The oval stones under the water were visible and even countable. I put my aching feet into the stream. Oh the water was running across my feet. It was cool but not cold. I could not but admit that it was a most pleasant and comfortable moment.

当我在太阳底下走了半个小时后，突然见到一片竹子，我快要忍不住哭了出来，“我要去坐那里。”走了三个小时后，发出潺潺声的河流闯入了我的视线。水很清，我都可以看到水底了。可以看到在水里椭圆形的石头，甚至可以数出来。我把累到疼痛的脚放到水里。喔，水从我的脚边流过。这是凉而不冰的水。我不得不承认这是最开心和舒适的时刻。

Life is just like a journey. What is more you have to hurry on the way braving the scorching sun and burdened with luggage while crossing over the mountains and slopes. Then you feel rewarded by a short rest. If only I could walk less and rest more!

生活就像旅行。而且你要快点出发，顶着烈日、和背着行李，爬过高山、穿过斜坡。一个短暂的休息你都会觉得是奖赏，希望能少走点路多点休息!

3西湖美景 无价之宝 Free Heaven on Earth

West Lake greeted me gracefully with her charming gardens in early spring of 2007. I have heard about the lake since I was a teenager in Indonesia. My first imagination of the lake was formed by the imported TV drama depicting the legend Lady White Snake. As soon as I indulged myself with the grandeur of the scenery I realized that Marco polo was not the only admirer of the lake.

Along the lakeside people are strolling along hand in hand. Some of them are families. Some are elderly people. There are also many couples and groups of tourists like myself. I think people in China are lucky to still have some open-air public places that are non-commercial and well-maintained. Without money people can still spend quiet time together with friends or loved ones in an open space far from the bustling life in urban areas. It is a true luxury in our modern world.

In Indonesia it is hard for me to find a place outside home or school where I can gather with friends. Most leisure places were out of town in the beach or in the picturesque hilly countryside. Most cities don not spare an open public space for people to unwind from their daily activities. Shopping malls street vendors cafés and restaurants become the standard hang-out places.

However these places came with their cost. Even window-shopping in a mall would usually end up with a dine-in inside the mall. Most of the time we have to spend money. Therefore access to leisure was not available for every citizen.

In China most cities still have public parks even when the price of land are skyrocketing. In the case of Hangzhou the park is the beautiful West Lake. The lake has been maintained by the city government for centuries. Citizens and visitors could always come staring at its beauty for free like a true heaven on earth.
