About Hangzhou
Hangzhou is a historic, cultural and economic center located at the southern terminus of the Grand Canal which is the longest canal or artificial river in the world. Situated in the nutritious Yangtse River Delta less than one-hour high-speed rail ride away from Shanghai, Hangzhou has always been a prosperous city throughout the past millennium. Hangzhou is one of the so called Seven Ancient Capitals of China. It's also an emerging technology hub and home to the e-commerce giant Alibaba.
The city is known as “The Heaven on Earth” for its beautiful landscapes. On the one hand, Hangzhou offers a colorful and diverse urban image with modern skylines as well as traditional architecture typical for the Yangtze River Delta; on the other hand, the city has preserved its lush hills and wild mountains, beautiful creeks and lakes, bamboo forests, and further developed flower gardens, parks, and tea plantations. As one of the greenest and most environmentally friendly cities in China, you can enjoy beautiful sceneries during every season of the year. Please click here to explore more about this city.
