No 4 Hangzhou

Located in the northeast area of Zhejiang province, Hangzhou is one of the most renowned travel cities in China. Dubbed the "Paradise under Heaven," the city is well known across the world for its splendid natural scenery, numerous historical relics, fine silk and Longjing tea. But what makes Hangzhou an attractive place to live is its peace, quiet and slower pace of life.
