Hangzhou is a major city in China's Yangtze Delta. It is not only a global commercial hub, but also a destination of extraordinary natural beauty and profound cultural heritage.
Discover why Hangzhou has inspired poets and artists for centuries, particularly the stunning West Lake Scenic Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where ancient charm meets modern sophistication. You must explore the surrounding hills, walk the picturesque causeways, or take a peaceful boat ride to admire the legendary Ten Scenes of the West Lake. Be sure to visit the iconic Broken Bridge, celebrated for its breath-taking water views.
The city’s rich history is also evident in its spiritual architecture. You can see the impressive Six Harmonies Pagoda, which offers spectacular outlooks of the Qiantang River, and find tranquillity at the Baochu Pagoda situated on the north shore of West Lake. End off your trip with a visit to the traditional Guo’s Villa garden, which embodies the beauty of water-focused Chinese design.
