Couldn’t agree more—the humidity combined with heat is brutal.

City walks around West Lake are amazing if you avoid the main tourist paths.

Some chain restaurants from Guangzhou, like Dian Dou De, are available in Hangzhou. But beware—they may not taste as good here!

Just grab some instant hotpot seasoning packets and call it a day [wink]

It seems your family isn't confident in using high-speed trains, so they hesitated to act without you. Many older people are reluctant to ask for help. It's best to guide them like children.
