About Hangzhou

Hangzhou, formerly romanised as Hangchow, is the capital and largest city of Zhejiang Province in Eastern China. It sits at the head of Hangzhou Bay on Chinas coast between Shanghaiand Ningbo. Hangzhou grew to prominence as the southern terminus of the Grand Canal and has been one of the most renowned and prosperous cities in China for much of the last millennium, due in part to its beautiful natural scenery. The citys West Lake is its best-known attraction.


Hangzhou is classified as a sub-provincial city and forms the core of the Hangzhou Metropolitan Area, the fourth-largest metropolitan area in China. During the 2010 Chinese census, the metropolitan area held 21.102 million people over an area of 34,585 km2 (13,353 sq mi). Hangzhou prefecture had a registered population of 8.7 million and the built-up area (including the 9 urban districts and the Keqiao andYuecheng districts of Shaoxing) held 8,874,348.


The native residents of Hangzhou, like those of Zhejiang and southern Jiangsu, speak a Wu dialect. However, the Wu dialect varies throughout the area where it is spoken, hence, Hangzhous dialect differs from regions in southern Zhejiang and southern Jiangsu. As the official language defined by Chinas central government, Mandarin is the dominant spoken language.


There are several museums located in Hangzhou with regional and national importance. China National Silk Museum (中国丝绸博物馆), located near the West Lake, is one of the first state-level museums in China and the largest silk museum in the world. China National Tea Museum (中国茶叶博物馆)is a national museum with special subjects as tea and its culture. Zhejiang Provincial Museum (浙江博物馆)features collection of integrated human studies, exhibition and research with its over 100,000 collected cultural relics.
