Hangzhou
Hangzhou, the modern capital of Zhejiang Province, was once the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty from 1127 until the Mongol invasion of 1276. The highlight of Hangzhou is the West Lake, a retreat of the imperial family in the past and currently a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Immortalized in poems and songs, Hangzhou is one of the must-see destinations for all. This scenic town draws travelers weary of skyscrapers, searching for serene and beautifully landscaped gardens, quaint tea houses to sample the famous Dragon Well Tea, and easy hikes in mountains surrounding the city.
Other than the West Lake, other recommended sights include:
Lingyin Temple, Six Harmonies Pagoda, Longjing Tea Fields, Dreaming of the Tiger Spring

Thanks again for helping us to put our trip together in such a wonderful way. We’re ready to go back to China again soon!
I’m amazed that everything went so smoothly, as I know it was very complicated to coordinate everything especially in a country like China where traveling is inevitably going to include some discomfort and confusion. Our Chinese tour guides were all excellent, and the accommodations were terrific overall (minor complaints here and there but I was pleasantly surprised on the whole). The schedule was perfect—having a couple of days free was a great idea, and the order in which we visited the d...
