Original

Our family will go to the West Lake of Hangzhou this weekend. We planned to go there last weekend but finally we had to change our schedule because of the bad weather. It rained all day and like rainstorm.  So instead we stayed indoors all day and even could not go out to buy food.  I hope the weather will be good this weekend and won’t have to change again. We bought train tickets of half past 10 and will arrive Hangzhou around 12 o’clock.

First, we will go to my brother’s home after arriving at Hangzhou and  take dishes with him because we have not seen him for a long time. We plan to go to the West Lake after supper. I heard that the West Lake is very beautiful after the G20 meeting even in the evening. On the next day on Sunday we will go around the  lake by boat. After lunch we will come back Shanghai by train and will get to Shanghai by 5 o’clock PM. This is my following weekend’s plan.
