Hangzhou

Hangzhou is the capital of southeast China's Zhejiang Province, with a history of more than 2,000 years. Dubbed the "Paradise under Heaven," the city is well known across the globe for its splendid natural scenery, numerous historical relics, fine silk and prized Longjing tea. But what makes it an attractive place to live has to do with its slower pace of life. The peace and quiet of this city is something that other big cities like Shanghai cannot offer.
