Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province, boasts a profound historical and cultural heritage while thriving as a city of innovation and vitality. As a core city in the Yangtze River Delta and a global hub for financial technology, Hangzhou harmoniously integrates history, culture, nature, and modern science, embodying the Eastern philosophy of the unity between man and nature.
The city is home to three World Cultural Heritage sites: West Lake, the Hangzhou section of the Grand Canal of China, and the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City. The scenic layout of West Lake, with its "one lake, two causeways, and three islands," is a classic example of Chinese landscape aesthetics. In addition to West Lake, Hangzhou also features natural attractions such as the Xixi Wetland and Thousand-Island Lake. Hangzhou actively preserves and carries forward several elements of intangible cultural heritage, including Chinese seal engraving, traditional sericulture and silk weaving, and the art of the Chinese guqin.
