Brief introduction
Zhejiang Province is situated along the shore of the East Sea. It has a total area of over 100,000 square kilometers (38,600 square miles) and a population of 46 million. Zhejiang is home to many minority ethnic groups including Han, Hui, Manchu and Miao. Zhejiang is the province with the most islands in China, with more than 200 islands along its coast. Hangzhou is its capital. Its nominal GDP for 2010 was 2.72 trillion yuan (US$402 billion) with a per capita of 44,335 yuan (US$6,490).

Zhejiang consists mostly of hills, which account for about 70% of its total area. Altitudes tend to be highest to the south and west. Valleys and plains are found along the coastline and rivers. Lying in China, as southeast coastal region, the province boasts of numerous gulfs and bays and more than 2,100 islands, accounting for one-third of the total islands in China.
Zhejiang has a humid subtropical climate with four distinct seasons. Every year, there is a rainy period, which occurs from early June to early July. Sometimes from late August to late September typhoons will attack this region. The annual rainfall is from 1200 to 2000 millimeters. Spring and autumn are the most pleasant months for travelers to visit Zhejiang.
History
The history of Zhejiang goes back to ancient time. Neolithic Hemudu Cultural Ruins dating back as early 7000 years ago are regarded as one of the cradles of Chinese civilization. As early as the Spring and the Autumn Period (770 BC - 476 BC), Zhejiang was separately dominated by the Wu Kingdom and Yue Kingdom. From that time on, the Wu and Yue culture developed and flourished. Hangzhou was the capital of South Song Dynasty.

Getting in and out of the city is convenient because of the well-planned transportation system. If you want to come by water, there are a series of international and domestic sea routes. If you plan to arrive by air, Hangzhou International Airport offers excellent service. Of course, arriving in Zhejiang by land is another option, while trains or long-distance buses are yet another alternative.
