West Lake or Xihu comes to mind whenever Hangzhou is mentioned. Throughout history, poets and artists have immortalized the beauty of Xihu and Hangzhou in poems and paintings. Chinese are quick to boast of the natural beauty and scenic splendour of Hangzhou with the often-quoted phrase of "Heaven on Earth".
