The sun was shining and so I decided to go to Shihu Lake. This is a very a large lake to the west of Suzhou. I have been here before and I never had the time to walk around the lake, however today the sun was shining and I had the time.

Today is a holiday, it is the Qingming festival and so the park is very busy indeed, but it’s such a large park that you can still walk freely. When I got to the coffee shop I was surprised to see it rather empty so I popped in for coffee. It’s a pity the coffee didn’t taste as good as the view.

I think it took me about 3 hours to walk around the lake, I’m not too sure but I was listening to Pink Floyd while I was strolling. I listened to the Division Bell and then the Wall so I guess that would be close to 3 hours.

This bridge is unusual because it has 3 platforms meeting in the middle.

The colours of spring are also in abundance, but today was good because the sun was shining and I finally managed to shed the jacket and beanie although I still had the scarf on for a while.
