Hangzhou 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.
