IN CHINA
One of my favorite city in China is Hang Zhou city.Hangzhou is the capital of Zhejiang province and its political, economic and cultural center.
With its famous natural beauty and cultural heritages, Hangzhou is one of China's most important tourist venues.
Chinese sayings
"Be born in Suzhou, live in Hangzhou, eat in Guangzhou, die in Liuzhou." (生在苏州, 活在杭州, 吃在广州, 死在柳州)
The meaning here lies in the fact that Suzhou was renowned for its beautiful and highly civilized and educated citizens, Hangzhou for its scenery, Guangzhou for its food, and Liuzhou for its nanmu wood coffins which supposedly halted the decay of the body.
"Above is Heaven, Below are Suzhou and Hangzhou." (上有天堂，下有苏杭)
This phrase has a similar meaning to the English phrases "heaven on Earth" or "God's country".

This city hs the most beautiful lake in the world....and, no body can ignore the Pagoda...
Liuhe Pagoda (simplified Chinese: 六和塔; pinyin: Liùhé Tǎ), literally Six Harmonies Pagoda or Six Harmonies Tower, is multi-storied Chinese pagoda in southern Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, China. It is located at the foot of Yuelun Hill, facing the Qiantang River. It was originally constructed during the Northern Song Dynasty (960 - 1127 AD), destroyed in 1121, and reconstructed fully by 1165, during the Southern Song Dynasty (1127 - 1279 AD).
