The Hangzhou Tourist Spots You Don't Know | Wuliu Lane Historic District

Hangzhou's history once saw it as the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, with smoke-willow painted bridges, wind curtains of green, flowers blooming like brocade, picturesque as poetry, and streets and alleys crisscrossing with homes of a hundred thousand families. Wuliu Lane Historic District is a microcosm of this. Wuliu Lane Historic District is located in the southeast of the old city area of Hangzhou, bordered by West Lake Avenue to the north, Hefang Street to the south, Jianguo South Road to the east, and Chengtou Alley to the west, with the East River meandering through it. Much of the history of the ancient capital Hangzhou is condensed in ordinary lanes like Wuliu Lane. This place was once the royal garden of the Southern Song Dynasty and is one of the most original 'cultural veins' of Hangzhou city. Wuliu Garden, Deshou Official Residence, Diamond Temple, Zhengdong Gate, and Chongxin Gate have all become witnesses to the glorious history of Wuliu Lane.
