“It is snowing!”\u00a0has become\u00a0a rare excitement for the local Hangzhou people. Hangzhou, in\u00a0China’s mid-east coastal area,\u00a0used to snow quite a lot even just back to 1970s when I was a kid. Playing snowball fight, making a snowman and taking snow scene photos were much expected during each snowfall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Partly due to the global warming, Hangzhou now rarely expects the unexpected “It’s snowing now!”, which is a very common thing in the Northeast China <\/a>(Dongbei).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blanketing Hangzhou into a snow wonderland, the recent snowfall has stirred up the whole city with West Lake<\/a> flocked by sightseeing crowds, even attracting numerous visitors from nearby cities like the mega-city of Shanghai, which regards Hangzhou as its back garden. Going to Hangzhou from Shanghai by high spe<\/a>ed train<\/a> is a breeze, making a day trip an easy job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A World Culture Heritage crowned site, West Lake<\/a> in Hangzhou is a representative Chinese classical\u00a0beauty –\u00a0boats drifting slowly through the mesmerizing lake, willow-lined lake shores, pagoda-toppled\u00a0hills\u00a0rising over the waters,\u00a0much hyped as the most beautiful lake in China. Its beauty has been eulogized by poets, writers, emperors for the past over one thousand years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you happen to be on your Hangzhou tour<\/a> or Shanghai <\/a>t<\/a>our<\/a> while you are hit by unexpected snowing in Hangzhou, no matter you are a snow bird craving sunshine and warm weather or from a warm country longing for seeing snow, it is worthwhile going out and bracing for stunning views of the China’s classical beauty! Of course, you won’t miss the Snow Lingering on Broken Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
