Well, quite a sudden trip. Actually an opportunity more like it. Friend's of Audrey has just informed us that the person who organized the Mongolia sunrise to sunset marathon is doing a get together in Hangzhou. It's about 2 hours or so by car away. And with that get together, we get to stay at the Shangri-la hotel for about 1/2 of the listed rate. RMB$800 + taxes. Still, normally each room is about CAD$220 per night.
I have not been back to Hangzhou since 1980's. Will be a shock to the system for me. (From the Shangri-La hotel website, click on the "Exploring Hangzhou" on the left to see more details about the city.) The lake, West Lake, is suppose to be world famous. We shall see if it has suffered the algae problem as other big lakes in China.
It will be an overnight trip; leaving Saturday morning and back Sunday afternoon; but expect to do lots of hikes and running. We'll be taking the train there! Way cool.
