Hangzhou is the capital of Zhejiang Province and one of the seven ancient capitals of China. It was described by Italian traveler Marco Polo as the finest and most luxurious city in the world. The West Lake scenic area contains over 60 cultural relic sites and several attractions of natural beauty, and a cruise on the lake is a good option to view several sites. Hangzhou is also a good place to visit a tea plantation.

The pearl tower is the staple of Shanghai. when you are in it, that means you cannot see it; if that makes sense. If you are only visiting for a short time, you do not have to go inside the tower or to the top. Also the dinner was 3 stars at max. The food was not that great, and the rotation speed of the restaurant was very slow for obvious reasons. This is one of those bookings you make just to say that you did it, not so much to enjoy for a long period of time. If I can redo it, I would choose not to eat here and pick another place in Shanghai to eat.
