Hangzhou is one of t

Hangzhou is one of the safest cities in China, but small crime like pick pocketing is still rampant and you should keep alert at all times. It became immensely wealthy, being at the centre of a fertile rice-growing area as well as being the site of the most important silk industries in China. It also was famous as a centre of culture, producing numerous writers, painters, and poets. Hangzhou has a reputation for being a hip Chinese megacity. If you are in nearby Shanghai for business, it's worth popping over for the weekend. We flew to Hangzhou directly from Singapore as a convenient entry point into China. #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer
