It was to be expected, but didn’t bother me too much. I didn’t come there to go on rides, I just wanted to walk around the lake, and relax in the beautiful weather. We did, however, decide that a few rides were in order, like go-karts! I let Jinfei drive, it was her first time. We ended up crashing twice in the first lap, but once she got the hang of it we made a second lap without issue.

After go-karting and relaxing on the swings it was time to take a paddle-boat out on the lake. After all, what’s a visit to a lake without a little boating? I was a little worried at first that the wind coming across the lake would cause us to capsize, but it turned out that the trike-style paddle boat was pretty solid.

An hour later, with tired legs, we decided to leave Weiyang Lake park and take a walk around the neighborhood. We ended up walking a few kilometers at the very least past a neighborhood of abandoned houses, and other buildings, the lack of people was a little creepy.

After walking for a good 45 minutes I recognized the surrounding area from one of my runs. We decided to get some dinner in a local restaurant, one neither of us had ever been to. Two bowls of Chinese mutton-soup and a bottle of 9º later and we were stuffed. Fortunately there was a bus stop near by, for a quick journey home.
