Hangzhou Travel Vlog: Lingyin Temple & Leifeng Pagoda Views
What’s China REALLY like?! | First time in HANGZHOU travel vlog 🇨🇳
Destination:ChinaCity:HangzhouPopulation:12.4 million 
In this video we're blown away by the history of Hangzhou, China. We explore mountain cave carvings at Lingyin temple and take the escalator up to Leifeng Pagoda to enjoy the panoramic views of the West Lake and Hangzhou's mountains.
We’re Dom and Emma! For over a decade, we’ve been traveling the world together, turning our love for adventure into a way of life. We started out backpacking through Southeast Asia, but in 2016, vanlife became our thing—partly so we could bring our pug, Percy, along for the journey.
Since then, we’ve lived out of everything from a tiny kei car camper during three months of vanlife in Japan to larger vans exploring Europe, with highlights in the Alps, Dolomites, and Germany. We’ve also spent years living in Thailand, working as teachers and digital nomads in Chiang Mai and Phayao, soaking up the culture and making it our second home.
