For its abundance of scenic attractions like the West Lake, the Xixi Wetland, the Grand Canal and the Qiantang River, Hangzhou is among the most coveted tourist destinations in the world. It was shortlisted by New York Times in 2011 as one of the "41 Places to Go".
China's most popular love stories such as "The Legend of the White Snake" and "Butterfly Lovers" all originated in Hangzhou.
Hangzhou has been the recipient of many national and international awards such as the "Oriental Capital of Leisure" by the World Leisure Organization, the "Best Tourist City of China" by National Tourism Administration and the Nations in Bloom by United Nations.
Both the West Lake and the Grand Canal are now UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
