Adjacent to Shanghai, Zhejiang is located in the southern flank of the Yangtze River Delta along the southeast coast of China, with Hangzhou as its capital city. Encompassing 6,400-plus kilometers of coastlines and over 3,000 islands, it has formed a large port group mainly consisting of Ningbo, Wenzhou, Zhoushan, Zhapu and Haimen ports. Ningbo’s Beilun Port has the 3rd and 4th generation international container terminals, 14 berths ranging in capacity from 25,000 to 200,000 tons and smooth navigable fairways for 200,000 ton ships. Its annual handling capacity ranks 2nd in China. It has established 98 sister ties with various provinces, states, cities and counties in 32 countries, including Japan, the USA, Germany, Australia, the UK, France, Italy and the Republic of Korea. It has also established business relations with more than 190 countries and regions all over the world. “In heaven there is paradise; on earth there are Suzhou and Hangzhou” is a proverb known to every Chinese. Hangzhou’s fabled West Lake is probably China’s best-known beauty spot. With its willow trees, lotus blossoms in July and arched stone bridges, it confirms to every one’s idea of what Chinese scenery should look like. Many Chinese come here for sightseeing. The huge lake has four landscaped islands and the whole area is dotted with pavilions and temples. In addition to enjoying the scenery, tourists may visit silk factories (as in Suzhou) and also one of the tea plantations producing the famous Dragon Well tea. Dubbed as “Golden Sprout,” it is known as the king of green tea and famous for its green colour, fragrance, good taste, and beautiful shape.
