Description

It was not my first visit to the West Lake of Hangzhou. But this time, I have chosen to stay at a hotel right next to the lake so that I could admire its beauty all day (or rather, at different times of the day). It was a meeting of the European League of the Institute of the Arts hosted by the China Academy of Art. Hence it was only natural that they chose a hotel next to the Academy for the conference participants, which was a bit far from the business centre and main viewing spots of the lake. It was around sunset that I finally made my way from the airport to my hotel and I could not help sitting down, like so many tourists that came to the city, to lose ourselves in front of this wonderful beauty of a brief moment.

這不是我第一次到杭州西湖,但這一次我選了一家在湖邊的旅館,可讓我整天(或更準確地說:在一天不同的時段)欣賞西湖的美景。我是來參加由中國美術學院主辦的歐洲美術院校聯盟的年會,故此大會選擇了在中美院旁的酒店作大部分會議嘉賓的旅館,但地點離中心區和主要景點觀賞區稍遠。我抵達杭州從機場坐公交到酒店已是黃昏,但像大部分到杭州的遊客,我忍不住要坐下來,陶醉在眼前短暫的日落美景中。
