It&#8217;s a well-known stop on China&#8217;s east coast tourism route, often partnered with the Garden Cities of Suzhou and Wuzhen. Hangzhou&#8217;s famous\u00a0West Lake is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and renowned as an influence for Chinese poets and painters throughout history. The city has also been awarded the 2022 Asia Games, as well as the G-20 Summit in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a destination on the rise, and so its\u00a0infrastructure is being continually updated. Hundreds of new hotels are being built &#8211; including a new Shangri-La &#8211; as well as a programme to make it easier for non-Chinese tourists to explore the city, including increased English signage and a new\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/hangzhou-tourism\/id554037550?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">English Hangzhou Travel<\/a> app.<\/p>\n<p>The beauty of Hangzhou can be visited on our 18\u00a0day <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/china\/tours\/china-delights.htm?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_campaign=guizhou%20hangzhou\">China Delights holiday<\/a>.
