Situated at end of the Grand Canal, Hangzhou is the capital of Zhejiang
Province and it is one of seven ancient national capitals in China. "It
is the most beautiful and elegant city in the world" said by Marco Polo
in the 13th century when he came to Hangzhou. As mentioned China City
Tour, Hangzhou gains the high reputation among domestic and foreign
tourists!
Hangzhou's history dates back to the start of the Qin dynasty (221 BC).
When Marco Polo passed through the city in 13th century he called this
city Kinsai and noted in amazement that Hangzhou had a circumference of
100 miles while its waters were vaulted by 12,000 bridges. Although
Hangzhou prospered greatly after it was linked with the Grand Canal in
610AD, it really came into its own after the Song dynasty was overthrown
by the invading Jurchen, predecessors of the Manchus. With such a long
history, Hangzhou is very rich in historical sightseeing like: Lingyin
Temple, Feilai Peak, Qiantang River, beautiful Wuzhen and Grand Canal.
However Hangzhou is notable for its West Lake and its fabulously green
and hilly environs. Praised by emperors and revered by poets, the lake
has intoxicated the Chinese imagination for centuries. Its willow-lined
banks, ancient pagodas and mist-covered hills are like stepping into a
classical Chinese watercolor. Due to its unique setting by the West
Lake, Hangzhou continues to enjoy many benefits of the natural
surroundings that have delighted visitors for centuries.
The West Lake is the most famous fresh water lake in Hangzhou. With the very beautiful scenery all the year round, this lake is described as "an idealized fusion between humans and nature" and has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011. With such a high fame, West Lake is one of the most beautiful places to visit in China.

In addition, many ancient buildings, stone caves and engraved tablets in surrounding areas are among the most cherished national treasures of China, with significant artistic value which make West Lake to the top attractive places to visit during your China Travel.
