Hailed by Marco Polo as "the finest city in the world", HangZhou today retains the power to attract and enchant a multitude of visitors. The prime attraction is not the city itself, but rather the outstanding West Lake, just outside of town. For centuries a byword for natural beauty, the 3-mile wide Lake sits in an imperial pleasure park of bridges and inlets, pavilions, rocks, temples and teashops. Stroll here to escape the pressures of city living, breath clean air and appreciate landscape gardening elevated to an art-form.

The Emperor of China used to have his/her Summer Palace in Hangzhou. Very nice by the water front!
