The Place
Hangzhou, China
City introduction
West Lake mornings, temple calm and Longjing tea fields. Hangzhou is China's gentlest postcard — West Lake's causeways and pagoda silhouettes, Lingyin Temple's carved grottoes, and the Longjing terraces where the country's most famous green tea is picked. Marco Polo's old compliment still holds: it is a city built to be wandered slowly.
