Hangzhou-West lake

I made some research on the West Lake, so famous in China. Here are some citations of what I have found.
From Wikipedia:

"West Lake (Chinese: 西湖; pinyin: Xī Hú) is a famous fresh water lake located in central Hangzhou, in Zhejiang province of eastern China.

The lake is divided by three causeways called Su Di (苏堤) , Bai Di (白堤), and Yanggong Di (杨公堤).

The name "West Lake" (Xi Hu) is also used by a large number of lakes in China and surrounding countries (with 800 West Lakes in China according to Lonely Planet). However, the lake in Hangzhou is the most famous of these, and the terms "West Lake" and "Xi Hu" generally refers to this lake.

The West Lake is said to be the incarnation of Xi Shi, one of the Four Beauties of ancient China. Hence, since ancient times, the West Lake was associated with a large number of romatic poets, profound philosophers, national heroes and heroines."

It' s a really beautiful place, well done and taken care of. The Chinese did a good job restoring historical places destroyed by communists during the Cultural Revolution. Now this place attracts more than 20million tourists a year!
During May Day holidays this place is crazy. So many chinese-surprisingly?- everywhere!!! Hotels are full, taxis busy, traffic jams everywhere. On the lake people walk in a line, otherwise it's a mess. That's when you realise that there are 1,3 billion Chinese on this planet.
Enjoy the pictures,
