9 Places to Visit in China Before You Die


5. Hangzhou

This place is often compared to heaven, so is there much else that needs to be said? The exquisite lake with its clear reflections of the surrounding, the extraordinary temples, and the tea houses lining the banks of the rivers, are its draw. It’s impossible to not feel like you are in heaven while you’re here. If you can break the spell for a day taking a wander through China’s National Silk Museum and National Tea Museum are worth it.
