Ripping water shimmering on sunny day,

Misty mountains shrouded the rain'

Plain or gaily decked out like Xizi'

West Lake is always alluring.

These are the words composed by the famous Song Dynasty poet Su Dongpo (960-1127) when he compared the West Lake to Xi Zi, the most beautiful woman in ancient China. These poetic sentiments leave one in no doubt of the glory of the scenery that inspired them.

Chinese Cheongsam
Cheongsam is the traditional dress for Chinese women. it fits well the female Chinese figure, has simple lines and looks elegant. it is made of silk with patterns of flowerlet, plain lattices or thin lines demonstrating charm of femininity and staidness; those made of brocade are eye-catching and magnificent and suitable for occasions of greeting guests and attending banquets.

Hangzhou is known for producing excellent silks and satins. In Hangzhou, the variety of silks available seems endless. Hangzhou satin is famous and one of the area's most successful export products. The layered weaving process is very labor intensive and produces fabulously luxurious fabric that feels great next on the skin.


Wuzhen
	Wuzhen, a town with a history of 1200 years, is just 50 minutes' drive from Hangzhou, the provincial capital of East China's Zhejiang Province. This small town, with its blackly tiled, oil-painted timber framework houses, that contrast sharply with its white walls and gray flagging, brings to mind a Chinese ink and wash painting. The river running through the town was once the main means of transportation for local people, is seldom used, other than for festive celebrations, when bulk cargo is shipped in. The window sills of the houses on the banks of the river are further extended with boards, on which flowers, plants and bonsai bloom in the warm sunshine, adding a touch of life and color to this tranquil, old style town.


Shanghai
	Shanghai, an open city on the coast and a famous historical and cultural city, is a gate to the Yangtze River delta. It is a municipality under the direct jurisdiction of the Central Government, and serves as the largest economic and trade center, a comprehensive industrial base and the leading port in China.

Shanghai has been famed as "the Shopping Paradise" and "the Oriental Paris' in history. Visitors come to Shanghai with a purpose of appreciating the beautiful urban scenery,as well as shopping in its various kinds of shops and stores.

Nanjing Road, China's No.1 Commercial Street, is a must for all visitors; Huaihai Road, an elegant and cultu-ral commercial street, attracts thousands of young peo-ple who search for the latest fashion trends, and Sichuan Road, a popular commercial street, is specially favored by the working classes.

Chinese Traditional Food
Shanghai also a "Grand View Garden" for dinners of all tastes, Different styles of cuisine meet and merge in Shanghai only to create the so-called Shanghai style cuisine, influenced by Beijing cuisine, Yangzhou cuisine, Guangdong cuisine and Sichuan cuisine, together with the foods of Suzhou, Wuxi, Ningbo and Hangzhou flavors, making Shanghai an ideal "gourmet kingdom".

What to buy

Silk Market on Tiyuchang Road. You can also get silk at other places in the city, but most of it will just be the fabric.

Night market off Yan'an Road near Pinghai Road (right near Wushan) every night. Here you can find Mao memorabilia, jewelry, paper fans, pipes, luggage, handicrafts and other items that most Chinese cities have.

Tea Dragon Well/Longjing tea is famous throughout China and worth getting if you like green tea. If you are staying with a Chinese host somewhere else in China after Hangzhou, bringing them a small box (or two) of higher-end Longjing Tea would make a great gift

Clothes Hangzhou has literally hundreds of clothes and shoes stores. The largest concentration of these are on Yan'an Rd and especially Wulin Rd, making a straight line of clothes shops stacked on top of each other between Wushan and Wulin Squares.

Landscape paintings There are several places to buy Chinese landscape paintings in the city, especially near Wushan Square and around the south/east side of the lake.
