Shanghai to Hangzhou Day Trip: A Ricoh GR II Journey
Our fourth day in Shanghai unexpectedly became a day trip to Hangzhou, an hour away by high-speed train, captured entirely with my Ricoh GR II.
The journey began amidst airport crowds and train passengers, a packed blur of bodies and bags. Onboard, I noticed the ceiling's advertising, even featuring a bag.
Arriving in Hangzhou, the city pulsed with display devices, ads, and signs. Modern architecture of glass, iron, and shade contrasted with traditional buildings. We savored local food, ingredients, and produce, observing diverse fashion, headgear, and textiles.
The city's mix of high-rise apartments and older structures, buzzing with land vehicles, fascinated me. I noted the textures of the wall, composite material, and concrete, admiring a beautiful brown brick building. Even small details, like plants in garden flowerpots, caught my eye.
The road surfaces of the town and street, some asphalt, others worn, reflected the urban character. As the day concluded, I saw a person with a distinctive hat, bag, and luggage, ready for their next journey, mirroring our spontaneous adventure.
