City & Place Guide

Where silk, tea, and lake scenery create timeless beauty.

Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang Province, sits about 180 kilometers southwest of Shanghai and has enchanted visitors for over a thousand years. The city rose to prominence as the southern capital of the Song Dynasty and was famously praised by Marco Polo as one of the finest cities on earth.

Today Hangzhou blends its storied heritage with a thriving modern economy, anchored by tech giant Alibaba. West Lake, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, remains the city's beating heart, ringed by pagodas, causeways, and manicured gardens. Beyond the lake, rolling tea plantations, historic temples, and a buzzing culinary scene reward curious travelers.

•West Lake — iconic UNESCO lake with pagodas, causeways, and boat rides.
•Longjing Tea Village — source of China's most celebrated green tea, set on terraced hillsides.
•Lingyin Temple — one of China's largest Buddhist complexes, dating back to 328 AD.
•Six Harmonies Pagoda — stunning Song-era tower overlooking the Qiantang River.
•China National Silk Museum — world's largest silk museum with rich textile history.
•Hefang Street — lively pedestrian lane lined with traditional snacks and folk crafts.

Getting around: Hangzhou has an expanding metro network with multiple lines covering major attractions, making it the easiest and cheapest way to travel. City buses are extensive but can be confusing for non-Mandarin readers. DiDi (China's Uber equivalent) is widely used for convenient door-to-door rides at low cost. Bicycles and e-bikes are available through shared rental docks near West Lake, ideal for leisurely lakeside exploration.

Best time: Late March to May (spring) and September to November (autumn) offer the most pleasant weather, with mild temperatures and stunning natural scenery.

Local food: Don't miss Dongpo Pork (braised pork belly), West Lake Vinegar Fish, Beggar's Chicken, and a traditional gongfu tea ceremony featuring freshly picked Longjing green tea.
