Hangzhou is the capital of Zhejiang province and one of China's most beautiful historic cities, home to approximately 12 million residents. Like all of China, it operates on China Standard Time (CST, UTC+8). Marco Polo described Hangzhou as 'the finest and most splendid city in the world' when he visited in the 13th century, and it was China's capital during the Southern Song Dynasty (1127–1279). West Lake (Xi Hu) — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the inspiration for Chinese poets and painters for centuries — sits at the heart of the city, surrounded by pavilions, causeways, and pagodas. Hangzhou is the birthplace and headquarters of Alibaba — Jack Ma founded the e-commerce giant here in 1999, and Hangzhou is now one of China's leading digital economy and e-commerce cities. The world's first and largest digital free trade zone is here. China's famous Longjing (Dragon Well) green tea is grown in the hills surrounding West Lake.
