PLMCN12
The 13th edition of the PLMCN was held in Hangzhou (杭州), China.
We shared our table with three Chineses, one of them actually a post-doc in Southampton whom we never met there! He recommended us to visit the Yellow Mountains after the conference, which we did.
Below are some pictures of the conference and surroundings.

in a Chinese amusement park where you could amuse yourself in this way.
The West Lake is the most beautiful beauty of Hangzhou.
The mountains and the fog make it a spot of unique atmosphere, with pagodas, sampan and legends all around.
This is one of the three ponds mirroring the moon (familiar to everyone in China from the one-Yuan bill).

Turquoise waters

with rocks.
The most beautiful ones would tell you a Chinese poem.
Others would speak with nothing needing written down.
Emphasizing something.
A bridge other the water,
towards more rocks,
and more river.
We barely noticed them at first.
Here they are, zoomed in.
