HGH airport to Hangzhou Grand Canal Crowne plaza

This damn driver pissed me off, first, he asked if he can pick up another passenger which I said no and he came with a grandfather story about how long he queued and all but still no.

The taxi fare reached 125y and the toll was 15y but he wanted 15y extra and I asked him why, he said he is returning to the airport and I burst off and he backed off.

Didn't know such drivers exist in Hangzhou too.

Crowne Plaza Hangzhou was available on PBs!

Received an upgrade to a Corner room which I was unsure of.


Dinner at Hangzhou
Grandma's place
28 Hubin Rd


A taxi ride was only 20y from the CP HZ. Heard from my friends that this restaurant usually requires a 2-3hours queue minimum to get a table but I got one within minutes, late 9pmish and I was alone.

Pear with Mango juice - Nicely done


Egg with Scallions - Cheap and good 10y only!


Braised Pork


I had all these with a bowl of rice and the total damage was around 65y. I had to include my dinner here as it was really delicious and cheap. (especially the egg)

Alright folks, have another flight from HGH-SZX coming up on CA Domestic first and HKG-SIN coming up on SQ 772 J and perhaps can include them here if I remembered to take pictures.

Lastly, pardon the quality of pictures and my shaky hands.

Cheers and safe travels!
