That's so true, right? That's why they say "the heavens above are matched in beauty with Suzhou and Hangzhou below". The beauty of Hangzhou is not overblown! Ah, this is your second visit to Hangzhou? Then when was your first visit? When was that? Was is very different?

Uh, you're right. Hangzhou is extremely beautiful. The first time I came I didn't want to leave. I remember my deepest impression being of the ten historic sites around the West Lake. Now that I think about it, it must have been over ten years ago. Now Hangzhou is developing very quickly, and the changes are really dramatic.
杭州占尽天时地利自古就是不少朝代的帝都历史文化积淀下来的那份大器再加上杭州本身的山明水秀就形成了它独特的气质

Hangzhou has a great strategic location and has served as the imperial capital of several historical dynasties, as well as historical relics and the enchanting scenery of Hangzhou itself, which form its unique features.
