Running in Hangzhou
by Monikins » Apr 14, 2012 01:35 am  in Health & Safety Hobbies    Replies 1   Views 1547 

I know this is completely random but I am planning to move to Hangzhou and I am a runner. Are there good places to run, is it safe enough that I won't risk getting run over everywhere?

North of the #1 bridge, there are dozens nice, gentle hiking trails that people run on (quite a beautiful area), but if the weather is nice even the most pleasant once will be swamped with tourists and people taking photos. Unfortunately, Hangzhou is pretty densely built and you have to go pretty far out of the city (or just wait for rain) to get away from the crowd.
