    I'm so happy for you (Flora) to visit China. I'm also a HK born Chinese but living in the US. I think it's great to see, explore, and learn our roots and where we are from. Just like how Note said it, please feel proud to be Chinese. I cannot wait till I get to visit China. Please show us more of China. Thanks.

Flora has the language fundamentals + down which is super helpful and makes travel in China more pleasant. The large cities are very clean and modern.

    Great video!! I noticed the looks you got. Probably you are speaking English, have camera and they are wondering what Chinese drama pretty Flora was in😊. I was glad to see the marketplace where the real life exists and the city life. Yes, the willow trees are beautiful. We have them in Louisiana. Thank you🙏

    Thanks for sharing this piece of your lives with us. I really enjoyed the experience of the trip and the chemistry between the two of you. You're both very charming! I loved the sharing of the legend of White Snake; it reminded me an anecdote with my dad (bless his soul).
    When I was really young, I saw the movie version of the story and it freaked me out thinking there were snakes posing as humans. He dispel my fears by explaining that these were just stories, and they were a means to convey Chinese philosophy: "you won't forget this story easily, right?". Short version is that human and snake represent living beings who can be as different as can be. In the story, the couple demonstrated their love, loyalty and respect for each other. However a third party however well intention-ed, destroyed the marriage; doesn't matter that the monk used truth to do it. There are many small lessons in the story, such as being tolerant and respectful to others who are different. Between couples, don't just listen to others outside of the family unit; the family unit is most important and valuable. Just because someone is different (the snake in the case of the story), doesn't mean that they don't have love and humanity. I forget the rest.

    Bikes seem really fast and fun. Yes you made it and found parking. I really like this market. I would try this different kind of pancake. Flora and Note, I can’t smell the friend fish / bun and I tried. Notes face reaction said it all after taking his 1ST bite of the delicious bun and fried fish. I laughed with Flora because I thought Nota wanted to go for a swim. Boat looks amazing and too bad. It was filled on top. Absolutely loved the boat cruise. I wonder what Flora is eating in this orange cup?? Congrats you walked the tower all the way up to seeing the amazing views and specially the sunset. Loved Loved the love story Flora told Note, specifically when she stopped and laughed out loud with Note. Absolutely Loved This Day // Absolutely Outstanding From Start To Finish

    Love this video! I lived in China for four years and never had a chance to visit Hangzhou, but heard great things about it and the West Lake. It is so beautiful just as I was told. Even the boat was gorgeous looking. I like how they have kept that old market as like Flora said, there is so much modernity anymore in China. Thanks for showing us Hangzhou! I loved living in China (Beijing and Shanghai), and always felt safe. I came back to Canada just before Covid. I can't wait to see more of this series. It is great that you are learning more about your heritage, Flora. Mandarin isn't an easy language to speak ime.

      It’s actually legal to fly a drone in China, just have to follow their regulations. And the type of e-bike we rented didn’t require a license. The owner said the more powerful ones do require a license though.
