Morning walk up Beishan Hill

Just north of West Lake is a hill that I believe is called Beishan Hill -- bei=north, shan=hill or mountain. It's not a very high hill, only some 200' from the lake, but it's quite picturesque and we've never walked up it on any of our other trips to Hangzhou. We did walk up this morning before the day got warm, and below are a few photos of the hillside, a temple near the top, and a view of West Lake from the hillside.We really enjoyed the walk and are sure that the exercise was good for our old knees. Tomorrow will be our last day in Hangzhou (and in China) and we hope to have one more good walk by the lake before we leave.
