The widely expressed Chinese proverb, "in heaven there is paradise and on earth there are Hangzhou and Suzhou" combined with the words of Marco Polo who described this place as, "the most beautiful and magnificent city in the world" have helped to make Hangzhou one of the biggest tourist attractions in the entire country. Fortunately, while any city would struggle to live up to a reputation as "paradise", Hangzhou makes a good stab at it. Despite the crowds, hoards of tour groups and the idyllic preconceptions one might have before arrival, it is hard not to like this city. Even the most cynical traveler will appreciate the West Lake for its space and beauty, if nothing else. Hangzhou is a city with a rich history and culture, spanning back over 2000 years. The city first made a name for itself in the sixth century, when the Grand Canal opened up and linked the area to other centers of trade such as Suzhou. The Song dynasty helped to make Hangzhou famous when they moved the imperial family here in the 12th Century. With its inviting views and outstanding scenery, the West Lake soon became popular with numerous artists, poets and painters seeking inspiration in this little bit of "paradise". To engoy your stay in Hangzhou and know more about Chinese cutulture, you need to find a good interpreter who can help you deal with the language barrier easily, arrange your trip to get to know the essence of Hangzhou. The fee is very reasonable (15 US dollars/hour, just for the interpreting service ) Besides, car service is availble( 7 seats ) if you think its necessary. If you are interested in the city and us, please e-mail Frank: hotmail.com\|gongdefu, or just call 13868123960 ) ) )
