the Upper town, Downtown, the-Lake, Jianggan and Gongshu. The city
population is 1, 5000, 000. Historically one of the seven national Capitals (Hangzhou-the
Capital of the Southern Song Dynasty A. D. 1127-1279), Hangzhou is well-known among the Chinese as "A Paradise on Earth". The West Lake District

west of city, consists of 60 sites of scenic, historical as well as
cultural interests, which attracts tens of millions of national
and international tourists yearly.
A tour to Hangzhou is easy and convenient.
Not only are there railway, highway and waterway
(Hangzhou is the southern terminal of the Grand
Canal) networks that connect every part of the
province with the neighboring provinces, but the
Jianqiao Airport, provides airline service each
