Hangzhou, en 2018
Au milieu de notre séjour dans la très froide et sèche Shenyang, nous sommes partis pedant 3 jours à Hangzhou. Après 4h d'avion en direction du sud, nous nous retrouvons dans une toute autre ville. à Hangzhou, il pleut, mais il ne fait pas froid. Le ciel est gris, mais la végétation, les parapluies à pois, et les moumoutes bariolées sur les scooters en font une ville très colorées. Ici, les boutiques ne hurlent pas des slogans assourdissants dans la rue, et les gens respectent les passages piétons. Bref, une bulle colorée, chaleureuse et bienveillante dans ce séjour en Chine.
La ville est universitaire et plus riche que Shenyang, et ça se ressent.
