Evangelist to preach to 20,000 in Hangzhou – Update
Over the 2 day period March 20/21, 14,000 people came to hear Evangelist Luis Palau and the Rev. James Meeks preach in Hangzhou Chong Yi Church. The aim had been 20,000, but the rain didn't evaporate on the way down and dampened the spirits....

The Norway Woods Bar
I dont really see myself rushing off to Norway Woods of an evening, but should try some time. Charlie of G+ / Wahaha fame is running the place now, and so I am sure it is a pretty slick operation. But perhaps Norway Woods is just as suited for a cheeky afternoon, early evening drink. A good...

Valentino Restaurant
Probably the best thing about Valentino Italian Restaurant at Landison is the view looking out over Hangzhou as you stand at the urinal to pee. Well, the rest of the views are pretty good too. But nevertheless, that makes the restaurant the most expensive public toilet in Hangzhou. The other...

The Hex of Hangzhou? 八卦田
It took a little research to find this place. I should probably have just put a quick question up on HangzhouExpat and had an answer in just a few hertz time, but perhaps early on Friday morning my own clock speed wasn't quite up there. I had seen a photo of it - an octagonal field somewhere in...

The Hex of Hangzhou? 八卦田 (1)
29/3/10 •
The Hangzhou Octagram farm must be a well kept secret as it took quite a while to find the proper name for the place – 八卦田 – let alone its location – Yuhuangshan Road as it turns into Nanfu Road (玉皇山路和南复路). On a clean day there are great views of Hangzhou and West Lake and the Qiantang River, a little history and a pint at the end of it all.

Guo’s Villa | 郭庄 (3)
25/3/10 •
Guo’s Villa is one of those places you wish were a secret. On a slightly off-colour day, the weather I mean, there are few people there and sitting right on the bank of West Lake drinking green tea with a book or friend is one of those unique-to-Hangzhou ways of whiling away an afternoon. Whoever [...]

Longjing New Tea 1Y per Leaf (4)

Despite the dustbowl that Hangzhou became on Sunday – something to do with the Gobi desert migrating to Japan – we decided to go for a wander and see of they had started picking the new tea yet… …I couldn’t figure out if they were trying to park, or drive, or just organise an impromptu air horn requiem to google.cn. Whatever it was, it was time to walk, because the cars wouldn’t be going anywhere for a while…

Hangzhou Gets Weird Architecture (9)
18/3/10 •
Architectural firm Stephen Holls has recently won the design competition to rebuild an old industrial site here in Hangzhou. This is properly space age looking stuff, although the design is supposed to be taken from a style of Chinese painting known as 山水 (Shanshui or Mountain Water Landscapes). The whole project will be about 25 [...]

Battle of review giants – Koubei 口碑网 and Dianping 点评网 (0)
16/3/10 •
A bunch of us have been writing restaurant reviews for quite a while and seeing who gets the most comments. Of course I win!! Not been in too many restaurants recently so I thought I might write about the review websites themselves, comparing the two most famous: 口碑网, Koubei and 大众点评网, Dazhong Dianping here for VH.
