Section B · Travels No. 001
Two summer weeks across three very different Chinas. Hangzhou for lotus ponds and slow lake mornings; Chongqing for hot pots, river lights, and noodles that left me sweating into my soup; Wulong for cliffs that swallowed everything human-sized. I traveled with my parents - first time in a while - and ate constantly.
杭州
days 1 - 6
30.27°N · 120.15°E · Hangzhou
Mornings on West Lake before the heat. Lotus the size of a dinner plate. Dumplings that disappeared faster than I can describe them. The kind of quiet that makes you talk softer.
重庆
days 7 - 12
Chongqing · 29.56°N · 106.55°E
A vertical city - bridges over bridges, escalators that climb six floors at once. We ate hot pot until we couldn't, then walked it off along the river while Hongyadong lit up gold. My favorite chaos of the trip.
