Location: Hangzhou, Kangle Yugang · Taizhou Flavor (Binjiang Branch)
Travel notes summary: Yesterday, I walked 30,000 steps, covering Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai in one go—probably setting a personal record for daily steps. Later, after Zonghui drove us back from Shanghai to Hangzhou in a company car late at night, we continued drinking at Manhattan Nightclub (my 3rd visit in 5 days). Today, Mr. Yu, former vice president of Ant Group, whom I've met several times already, hosted a dinner for Andrew and me with a table of ten people. He brought two bottles of 2008 Moutai (currently priced at nearly 30,000 Taiwanese dollars each), making it a banquet where the wine was far more expensive than the food. The aged Moutai was indeed quite fragrant and went down smoothly for me. Thanks to Mr. Yu for the warm hospitality. Cheers! By Morgan @evening of July 29, 2025
