5. Hangzhou

Hangzhou is the capital city of southeastern China's Zhejiang province. Dubbed the "Paradise under Heaven," the city is well-known in the world for its splendid natural scenery and numerous historical relics. The West Lake is undoubtedly Hangzhou's most renowned attraction. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the lake is like a glittering pearl under the blue skies, enthralling tourists with its stunning natural beauty and cultural heritage.

Near the lake is a scenic area which comprises many notable spots, including the Solitary Hill (Gushan); the mausoleum of General Yue Fei, a celebrated hero of the Song Dynasty (960-1279); and the Ling Yin Temple, one of China's largest Buddhist temples. Tourists can also pay a visit to the Hefang Old Street to obtain various kinds of souvenirs, silk, and the renowned Longjing Tea.
