Zhejiang Overview
About Zhejiang Province
There is a saying in China: above heaven there is paradise here on earth we have SuZhou and Hangzhou, which indicates the quiet, simple, beautiful and elegant natural scenery of Zhejiang Province. With lots of greenery and canals, old causeways over lakes, fishing boats, hills, pavilions and pagodas, Zhejiang is worth the visit especially if you love to take photos.
God Blesses Zhejiang much more than other places, with comfortable climate, beautiful lakes and parks, and flowers in blossom all year round. In this heavenly-like province tourists have plenty of sights to choose from: dozens of big and small temples and pagodas, beautiful scenery as well as places known in Chinese history or literature and arts. This is apparently also the case when Marco Polo visited the place during the 13th century. The region is also famous for its reputed “Dragon Well” Tea Plantations and has long been a center of silk production. It currently is a place that you can find both serenity and excitement, both the joys of nature and the bustle of a modern city.
