ABOUT HANGZHOU
Hangzhou is located in the Yangtse River Delta
of China, about 150 km southwest of Shanghai. Hangzhou is the capital
city of Zhejiang Province, and the population of the city is about two
million. Hangzhou is well-known for its picturesque scenery.
After touring Hangzhou, which had been the capital of China's Southern
Song Dynasty, the renowned 13th century Italian traveler Marco Polo exclaimed
in admiration that it was the most beautiful city in the world. "Up
in the sky there is the paradise, down on the land there are Suzhou and
Hangzhou." This is how Chinese people have described Hangzhou's fame
for hundreds of years. Each year, over 17 million tourists visit
Hangzhou. The detailed traveling information via air or train will
be included in the second announcement.
