East Lake (Dong Hu)

On 15-Mar (Sunday), the weather was superb! Perfect weather for an outing, probably an excursion to the East Lake (东湖). True enough, most of the Wuhanese agreed with us, and there were thousands of people in the East Lake! Fortunately, East Lake is huge (6 times the size of famous West Lake 西湖, in Hangzhou 杭州), hence we didn't feel that it was congested.

East Lake is indeed beautiful. I enjoyed my trip very much, thanks to my "tour guide", Mr Wong Soon Fatt! Hehe...

Is this flower 梅花,桃花, or 樱花?

Managed to "catch" a bee in this picture







梅花



There are also many wedding couples there! So, I "helped" the photographers up to take some pictures of them too! Haha!


The pose quite nice hor?


This groom's hair style is cool! I like!




Activities: You can fly kites, or row a boat with your lover, strolling along the park with your partner, rest yourself on the grass enjoying the sun, or para-sailing.






This boy is so cute hor?






Some choose to blade in the park, a good idea indeed, my feet are feeling sored!








It is difficult to stand inside the ball





Caddy for the visitors who are lazy to walk


The canopy on the boat is really nice, so colourful!

You have many choices on how you wish to travel around the park, motor boat, rowing boat, ferry, bicycle, caddy, roller blade, or by walking.












I am like an Alien in Wuhan. No people (except SF and me) is wearing short-sleeves shirt. All still wearing winter clothing. Just wondering why they dont feel warm? I was sweating even with a single layer of clothing!
