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. Honoured as "the finest and most splendid city in the world" by the Italian traveller Marco Polo and enjoying a culture of 8,000 years, Hangzhou was the capital of China in the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279). As a tourist resort of world fame, it offers many scenic spots and historic sites such as West Lake, Soul-Retreat Buddhist Temple, Six-Harmony Pagoda and the Liangzhu Relics as well as four national museums of silk, tea, traditional Chinese medicine and pottery.
