About Hangzhou
Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang province, is a city of lakes and tea hills centred on West Lake, with temples, pagodas and a past as an imperial capital.
Hangzhou grew around West Lake, a shallow, willow-fringed lake ringed by hills, causeways and pagodas that has inspired Chinese poets and painters for centuries and is a World Heritage landscape. The city was the capital of the Southern Song dynasty from the 12th century, and it marks the southern end of the Grand Canal. Boats cross the lake to small islands, and the Su and Bai Causeways are favourite walking routes.
