Overview
Hangzhou, blessed with a superior natural environment, the historical heritage of being an ancient capital for seven dynasties, and comprehensive protection and development in the new century, has crafted a city that is graceful, classical, grand, international, and technologically advanced, exuding happiness. As the saying goes, “There is heaven above, and there are Suzhou and Hangzhou below.” Hangzhou is renowned for its picturesque West Lake.

Furthermore, the charm of the ancient capital city in the Jiangnan region, intertwined with the prosperity of modern Hangzhou, and the old-world elegance of imperial life flow through Qinghefang, the Stele Forest, and the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Street, awaiting your discovery.
