Live Your Best Lives
"The land is beautiful with lakes and mountains, and it is the best province in the southeast."
Whether it is Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty , or Hangzhou, a famous city in the south of the Yangtze River
today
, a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye . The world has changed dramatically, but the willows by the West Lake are still as they are today. From Jiuxi to Shibajian, from Xixi to Shibawu , West Lake is not short of scenery under the rotation of the four seasons. West Lake is the quiet path in the mountains and bamboo forests of Hangzhou, with the chirping of cicadas and the singing of birds. The mountains embrace this pool of green water, which complements each other. You can always take a break from the busy schedule and find peace in the hustle and bustle . West Lake is the center of Hangzhou, with crowds of people and flashing neon lights. Technology brings endless vitality to this place, and the prosperous city scenery is changing with each passing day.
