【China/Hangzhou/Nine Gorges and Eighteen Streams】

#AbsolutelyFreeTravel The Nine Streams and Eighteen Rivers in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, mean that there are many streams. The streams originate from Yangmeiling in Wengjia Mountain, and flow through the nine streams of Qingwan, Hongfa, Tangjia, Xiaokang, Foshi, Baizhang, Yunqi, Qingtou and Fangjia, before finally joining the Qiantang River. Long ago, the famous geologist Li Sikuang inspected the Jiuxi River twice and discovered ancient glacial remains. About 3 million years ago, Hangzhou was in the glacial age, and this area was a valley that stored water from melted ice, and he believed that the water that had been flowing for many years created the unique topography. During the Republic of China era, there were many teahouses in the Jiuxi area, and many tourists came to see the scenery and drink tea.
