Today, we went to lots of tourist attractions. We started out the day by going to the Silk Market. This is a market that specializes in silk products. Hangzhou is known for their wonderful silk. The first store we
went to had many bolts of different silk in vibrant and rich colors. The patterns woven into it were just amazing. There was nothing but rows of silk. The others stores
didn’t have that much, but they had plenty of cool things make out of silk. There were scarves and bags, clothes and everything else you could make out of silk. We then went to the
Lingying temple. It is a Buddhist temple and many people come to see the temples and pray. In the temple are huge statures of different gods. One temple had about two hundred different Buddhas for each direction, north, south, east, and west. Taking pictures in the temples was not allowed, so we don’t have any pictures of the Buddhas inside. Each individual
temple is on one level of ground and so if you want to go to another, you walk up some stone steps. The top temple is located high above others and has the biggest Buddhas of all. They also have a wall that is covered in different statues of many Buddhas. The temple is in a park and the park is stunning. There is a steam running down the middle and there are stone steps going
up to the rock walls. In the walls, a variety of Buddhas are carved in to the stone. It is very pretty and there is like a rain forest all around. It is green and lush with vines draped around the stone. When we came back we cam back by bus, because none of the taxis would drive us anywhere. We have never seen taxi drivers that are unwilling to go somewhere, but we were now faced with this problem. So we took a bus. We
believe there were some things that went on in the bus
that are
illegal in the U.S. To start, there were about 70 people in the bus. I'm not
exaggerating, the bus kept stopping and
letting more people on. The driver was very
angry and hollered at us to move back and
squish more people on. In China, it is not rude or mean to push. You are on a bus with 70 other people and pushing is normal. It was an experience. I’m very excited because tomorrow I’m going to a school.
