First Impressions of Hangzhou, China: Where Nature Meets Urban City

[@林立-p9u]

There is an old saying: "Above, there is the heaven; down below, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou". (上有天堂, 下有蘇杭). So, Hangzhou has been famous for its beauty. Suzhou is another beautiful city (right beside Shanghai) which you don't want to miss.

[@EoinandAisling]

I haven’t read too much about Suzhou but I will look into it now. Thank you ☺️

[@林立-p9u]

I forgot to tell you that there is an inclined tower (like the one you get in Pisa, Italy) in the outskirt of Suzhou. Enjoy.

[@starlights006]

That’s true as Chinese who the last year visited Hangzhou and this summer Suzhou I feel really glad and happy for it.

Welcome to Hangzhou, a paradise on earth. I live in Hangzhou. Here are some places worth visiting. For natural scenery: Jiuxi Eighteen Creeks, Longjing Village and Xixi Wetland are recommended. For cultural charm: Songcheng Eternal Love and the light show at City Balcony are recommended.

[@Antinonsens]

[@EoinandAisling]

We visited Chengdu and Chongqing the last time we were in China and loved it so so much we looked at Nanjing but we haven’t decided yet 👀

[@HarveyChenBlog]

You had a tight schedule and itinerary on first day in hangzhou. 上有天堂，下有苏杭 Hangzhou has been perceived as paradise on earth. Hangzhou is a suitable city to live. hangzhou has beautiful nature. People always compare west lake with beauty. Hangzhou also has rich history and culture. Leifeng tower, Lingying temple, Longjing tea, Hangzhou silk are what I highly recommend to visit and experience!

[@林北就是唱秋]

I didn't know that Hangzhou is so beautiful. Thank you !

Hangzhou is my favorite city. Unlike other big cities in China, Hangzhou has a good nature environment,especially there is a big lake in the downtown.

[@seanchee441]

There is a old phrase : In the sky has the heavy , on down earth has su hang . （ su zhou and hang zhou ). Good scenary and hang zhou is famous in pretty ladies. One more thing hang zhou now is similar like silicon valley in the state. Is a tecnolody city

Hangzhou and Suzhou are two cities rich in historical charm, located next to Shanghai. In my view, Suzhou is like a young maiden dressed in traditional Hanfu, while Hangzhou resembles a modern woman with touches of Han cultural elements in her attire. I hope you enjoy this journey.

Huangshan Mountain, with its spectacular scenery, has been rated as a world natural heritage, and there are well-preserved ancient villages at the foot of the mountain, which is very close to Hangzhou! In addition, there is a famous wetland park in Hangzhou, and Qiandao Lake scenic spot is not far away, which is quite good and worth visiting!

[@zhichengzhao5907]

Really enjoy your video tour in Hangzhou while I recall my last trip to the city many years ago! If you would like to explore more natural wonderlands in China, here is the list of world class scenery spots: Jiuzhaiguo(九寨沟，Sichuan province), Zhangjiajie(张家界，Hunan province)， Lijiang(漓江，Guangxi province). Enjoy your trip in China！

Hey guys, welcome to Hangzhou, my beautiful hometown! A few spots I'd highly recommend visiting: Jiuxi (go in early morning), Liu Diao Qiao(either early morning or before sunset), Zhejiang University old campus (also known as the YuQuan campus), a stroll down the Beishan Road, HuiJuan noodle shop (try the stir fried noodle with shreded dry beancurd and pork chops). Stay hydrated during the day and have fun!

[@FromAshesToLashes]

Tiger leaping gorge has some of the best hiking routes IMO. PS Hangzhou native here, glad you guys enjoyed my hometown :D

[@abdullahhakan1]

China is one of the most populasr and best of the best places for europeans, canadians, americans, australians to live, work , raise kids, with enormous cultural things to experience, lots of water and greenery pasture resources , all cities are connected with motorways and fast trains with 45.000 kms length in China. Wall Mart, K Mart, Carrefour , all kinds of American franchise food stores are available for europeans, westerners to eat and flourish. For sure best places are Shenzen with its seaside , pristine beaches and sea, Guangzhou city with 45 million educated citizens and focusing in electronics engineering, computer engineering areas of expertise coming from all corners of Chinese states and cities to Guangdong. Cons of Chna is no english, german, spanish, dutch, italian signposts to find your ways to hotels, factories , restaurants as foreigners. Chinese language is extremely difficult for us, we the europeans are like babies over there , cannot read and understand signposts, completely illetarate of chinese language. I had lived in 9 cities of China and never can speak or understand chinese language , only speaking to english speaker exporter chinese workers in Fuzhou, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Hong Kong, Tianjin, Shanghai city. Thailand on the hand has all kinds of english and thai alphabets and words on signposts. in all throughout the country and islands, very easy country for europeans.

They didn’t really get to the best parts of Hangzhou 😢try to get away from the Hubin yintai area and hit the west and northern parts of west lake where the scenery is way prettier and much less crowded/touristy. And try to go into the mountains a bit in the backdrop and visit the monasteries.
