Hangzhou is the capital city of Zhejiang province. It was settled as early as 4,700 years ago, thus giving birth to the auroral Liangzhu Civilization. One of the seven ancient capitals and the key scenic tourism and historical culture cities in China, Hangzhou once was applauded as “the most splendid and luxurious city in the world” by Marco Polo, the Italian traveler in the 13th century.

Hangzhou is very famous for culture and beautiful sights. West Lake, Grand Canal, Six Harmonies Pagoda (Liuhe Pagoda) and Qiandao Hu are good sight-seeing places to go. The most famous one is the West Lake. It is like a brilliant pearl embedded in the beautiful and fertile shores of the East China Sea near the mouth of the Hangzhou Bay. The lake covers an area of 5.6 square kilometers. The view of the West Lake is simply enchanting, which offers many attractions for tourists at home and abroad.
