★★Hangzhou, China★★

Hangzhou is a famous city in the Jiangnan region that blends a thousand years of cultural heritage with picturesque scenery, with three World Cultural Heritage sites showcasing its unique charm. The waters of West Lake ripple gently, and sights like Su Causeway in spring and Broken Bridge in snow carry a poetic aura, making a stroll along the lakeside a pure delight. The ruins of the ancient Liangzhu city preserve five thousand years of civilization, allowing you to touch the wisdom of ancient inhabitants; along the Grand Canal, sails drift leisurely, reflecting the lively mingling of northern and southern cultures.

Here, you can find the elegance of the Song dynasty, with the red walls of Deshou Palace and the scholarly atmosphere of Xiling Seal Art Society evoking a sense of traveling through time. Yet, there are also lively and modern activities, with playful experiences at Dragon Scale Dam, snow drifting in caves, and breathtaking aerial views of the ancient city unfolding constantly. The fresh and rich flavors of Hangzhou cuisine should not be missed, with the refreshing taste of Pianerchuan noodles and the savory richness of braised duck soothing your taste buds amidst the lively local atmosphere.
