The capital of Zhejiang province and home to about 13 million people, Hangzhou is the largest city in the Yangtze River Delta after Shanghai, China’s financial hub. West Lake, Longjing tea and centuries-old temples have become the cultural symbols of the city. Every year, millions of domestic and international visitors come to enjoy the 15-kilometer-wide lake surrounded by mountains, explore Buddhist temples and taste the region’s signature Longjing tea. Historically renowned for silk, tea and canal trade, Hangzhou today has become a center for China’s digital economy and technology. The city hosts the headquarters of e-commerce giant Alibaba and artificial intelligence firm DeepSeek. The Venetian explorer Marco Polo once called Hangzhou “the most beautiful city in the world.” A traditional Chinese saying also praises its charm: “Above is heaven, below are Suzhou and Hangzhou.”
