Hangzhou is one of the most important tourist cities in China,
famous for its natural beauty and historical and cultural heritages.
It is the political, economic and cultural centre of Zhejiang
province as well. Famed for its natural scenery, Hangzhou and its
West Lake have been immortalised by countless poets and artists. The
city was the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty from 1127 until
the Mongol invasion of 1276. The city's population is estimated to
have been as high as one million in those days, making it the
largest city in the world at the time. Even Marco Polo claimed to
have passed through, calling it beyond dispute the finest and the
noblest in the world. Since June 2011, the West Lake Cultural
Landscape has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
