Haining
Haining is reputed as "the land of fish and rice, the hometown of silk, and the city of leather" and the best place to view the Qiantang River Tide.

Lin'an
The Tianmu Mountain near the city of Lin'an is like a crystal and shining "green jade" casting in the middle of coastal China.

Shaoxing
A famous ancient city south of the Yangtze River, Shaoxing is a town of rivers and canals, arch bridges and boats.

The soaring tide of the Qiantang River is such a marvelous spectacle that only the Amazon River's surging tide rivals it! Annually, millions of people from both home and abroad flock there to watch the magnificent tide on the eighteenth day of the eighth lunar month (also around the Mid-Autumn Day).

Travel Tips

One of the smallest yet the wealthiest provinces of China.	Shaoxing, Haining and Lin'an are all easily accessible by bus, with the provincial capital-Hangzhou-as the base of your exploration.	Stay in Hangzhou, where the choices of accommodation are many.
The most pleasant time to visit Zhejiang is during the Spring and Autumn.	Hangzhou diet and recipes here usually contain a great deal of seafood including fish, shrimp, crab and oyster.	The area offers a superb collection of local crafts, rare arts and other souvenirs.
