Along the Yangtze River Delta has thrived the ancient
city of Hangzhou. With the advent of modernism the region
has developed accordingly but in doing so has left its
culture, tuition and customs intact. It is a suburban
area but endowed with so much natural beauty that tourists
find it to be a very good holiday destination. Sightseeing
in Hangzhou is pleasurable indeed.
Many claim that it is China's paradise on earth. One
of the many sightseeing locales in Hangzhou is the famous
West Lake. Here you can do boating too. From here you
can take a joyride to the Xiaoying Island and the Three
Pools. In fact you will also have an excellent view
of the Xiling Seal Society. This Society is the repository
of all the handicrafts and art works of the ancient
Hangzhou people. Sightseeing in Hangzhou is remarkable
and a visit to the Huagang Fish Pool, the Mausoleum
of Yue Fei and the Su Causeway is a must include in
your itinerary.
China
is also home to many shrines and Buddhist sanctuaries
in Hangzhou there is the Lingyin Temple that boast of
intricate architecture. A short walk from here is the
Longjing Tea Plantation that produces one of the best
varieties of tea leaves in China. Tiger Running Spring
is another interesting sightseeing locale in Hangzhou
that is worth seeing.
As one of East China's best tourist destinations, Hangzhou
exerts a magnetic force on people, old and young, domestic
or foreign. Consequently, it is strongly advised that
you go there in autumn or winter, when there are fewer
travelers. Jade Spring in the Hangzhou Botanical Gardens
is also one of the major attractions
of Hangzhou. A little to the east lies the Yue fei
temple.
Sightseeing in Hangzhou is not going to be complete

Reserve, Stone Great Wall and Fei Lai Feng (Peak Flown
From Afar). During the day you can explore all the sightseeing
locales and at night enjoy the nightlife in Hangzhou.
