We're back in Shanghai. We just barely made our train becuase we were determined to try beggar's chicken which is a local specialty in Hangzhou. It took a lot longer than we thought it would so we had to speed-walk back to the hotel to get our bags, wait for a cab, sit in a traffic jam and then negotiate the station in Hangzhou which is mobbed with people and has very confusing signs. In the end we had less than a minute to spare! We are both happy to be in Shanghai; it feels like home here.

Was the beggar's chicken worth it?
It wasn't the best thing we ate there. The best dish we had in Hangzhou was a pork dish I believe they call something like dongpo rou. It's a 2" cube of pork belly cooked in a small clay pot. We also really liked the candied lotus root (guihua nuo mi oh).
