WEST LAKE OF HANGZHOU SELECTED AS ONE OF WORLD`S MOST BEAUTIFUL LAKES

Lakes showcase some of water's most alluring qualities, from mesmerizing ripples and mirror-like reflections to crystalline clarity. The world has millions of them, from tiny grass-lined ponds to massive freshwater expanses easily mistaken for oceans. In November, Hangzhou`s West Lake was named as part of, US publication, The Huffington Post`s selected list of [20 of the World`s Most Beautiful Lakes". West Lake was given the honor of being selected as Number 4 on this list. The beauty here is not just the landscape - a slice of verdant green in Hangzhou - but the lifestyle of its elderly residents who treat West Lake like a vast sunrise wellness center as they gather to practice Tai Chi, engage in graceful fan dances, or walk the perimeter listening to small radios playing Chinese music.

West Lake is regarded as an exquisite piece of scenery by the City of Hangzhou, but it also allows city residents to get close and intimate with its environment. Nearly all of Chinese people know it is a beautiful and elegant destination for traveling and leisure due to its uniqueness and enchantment formed over the past thousands of years.

Even more alluring are West Lake`s many pavilions and buildings that have been preserved since the Tang Dynasty such as `The Broken Bridge`; an eternal favorite spot for photographers and tourists that frequent the park.

In their words: "The beauty of West Lake is not just the landscape-a slice of verdant green in Hangzhou, but the lifestyle of its elderly residents who treat West Lake like a vast sunrise wellness center as they gather to practice Tai Chi, engage in graceful fan dances or walk the perimeter listening to small radios playing Chinese music. In addition to this microcosm of daily life, the lake also offers stellar photo-ops, from the Tang Dynasty-era Broken Bridge to charming pavilions with upturned roofs.

Cycling Gloves are gloves designed for cycling. They may provide warmth, comfort and protection.

Basic functionality

• Warmth

Handlebar mitts on electric scooters.
Gloves are frequently used to keep the hands warm, a function that is particularly necessary when cycling in cold weather. The design of most modern bicycles is such that the rider's hands remain on the handlebars while cycling, a position that leaves them exposed to weather. The hands are also relatively inactive, and do not have a great deal of muscle mass, which also contributes to the possibility of chill. Gloves are therefore vital for insulating the hands from cold, wind, and evaporative cooling while riding a bicycle.

• Comfort

Cycling places a good deal of stress on the hands, in the form of prolonged pressure against handlebars and transmission of sudden road shocks through handlebars to the hands. The severity of discomfort can be mitigated somewhat by riding position, but is essentially inherent in most designs of upright bicycle. However, choice of weight distribution between the saddle and handlebars is usually determined by other factors, such as aerodynamics, control and long-term comfort. Padded gloves or handlebar grips are therefore useful to increase comfort for a given geometry.

However, excess padding can lead to other problems. Normally the hands will rest on the bones in the heel of the hand - too much padding will tend to press on the soft tissues between these and can compress the nerves in the hands, causing something akin to carpal tunnel syndrome.

• Face and nose wiping

Cyclists often deal with perspiration and nose running on a constant basis. Because clothes and paper tissues may be difficult and time-consuming to use during cycling, many cyclists have resorted to using the backs of their gloves to wipe the sweat from their faces and the nasal mucus that drips from their noses. Many modern cycling gloves come with a built in "nose wipe" on the back of the hand, typically on the thumb or forefinger or both. Aftermarket fabric nose wipes that slip onto the back of the hand or wrist of the glove are also preferred by some cyclists.

• Protection

Putting a hand out to break a fall is a natural reaction. However, the hands are one of the more difficult parts of the body to repair. There is little or no spare skin, and immobilising the hands sufficiently to promote healing involves significant inconvenience to the patient. So, many cyclists choose to wear gloves all year round to help avoid skin damage in a fall.
