These pictures were taken at White Bank（白堤）.
The original name of this bank is White Sand Bank（白沙堤）, and it was mentioned in an ancient poem, reading“There is White Sand Bank in the shade of green willows（绿杨荫里白沙堤）.”
The citizens changed the original name of this bank to “White Bank” in order to commemorate a famous ancient poet Bai Juyi（白居易）who lived in Tang Dynasty（唐朝）.

Yesterday afternoon, my friends and I went to Wushan Temple Fair（吴山庙会）. There were all kinds of snacks in the fair, and we hardly miss chances of having delicious snacks.
I bought a bunch of roasted mutton from a merchant who came from Xinjiang（新疆）. He kindly welcomed us to visit his hometown, and gave me a big one. All of us ate too much food like fried smelly tofu（臭豆腐）, wonton（馄饨）, cakes, roasted meat and so forth.
Besides food and drink, there were lots of groceries. We also met some merchants who came from India, Nepal, Italy, Pakistan, and so on. They could speak good Chinese.
In the end, we walked into Huichuntang（回春堂）, a famous traditional Chinese herbal medicine store which was set up in 1649. We sat down and had cups of fragrant herbal tea for free. In this store, they provide free tea everyday.
These photos were taken without tripod, so it seems not very clear.:P
