人间天堂——杭州
Hangzhou – Paradise on Earth
杭州是一座悠久历史的文化名城。“良渚文化”遗址即可证明，在4000多年前，这里已有人类繁衍生息。五代时的吴越国和南宋均曾在此建都，历时237年。现今的杭州，辖市内8个区，3个市和2个县。
Hangzhou has long been known as a famous cultural city. The ancient Liangzhu Culture ruins were found in what is now Hangzhou. These archeological ruins date back to 2000 B. C. when our ancestors already lived and mulitiplied here. Hangzhou also served as an imperial capital for 237 years – first as the capital of the State of Wuyue during the Five Dynasties Period, and again as the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. Now Hangzhou is the capital of Zhejiang Province with eight urban districts, three county-level cities and two counties under its jurisdiction.
杭州素以风景秀丽著称。700年前，意大利旅行家马可·波罗曾称誉它是“世界上最美丽华贵之城”。
Hangzhou has a reputation for its scenic beauty. About 700 years ago, Marco Polo, perhaps the most celebrated Italian traveler, called it “the finest and most magnificent city in the world”.
境内西湖如明镜，千峰凝翠，洞壑幽深，风光绮丽。湖上有彩带似的的苏堤、白堤飘落其上。三潭映月、湖心亭、阮公墩三个小岛鼎立湖中。岳庙、西岭印社、曲院风荷、平湖秋月、花港观鱼、柳浪闻莺等风景点，均在湖之周围。
Hangzhou’s West Lake is like a mirror, embellished all round with green hills and deep caves of enchanting beauty. The Su Causeway which runs from north to south and the Bai Causeway which runs from east ot west look like two colored ribbons floating on the water. The three islets named “Thee Pools Mirroring the Moon”, “Mid-lake Pavillion” and “Ruangong Mound” stand in the lake, adding much charm to the scene. Famous beauty spots around West Lake include Yue Fei Temple, Xiling Sea-Engraving Society, Breeze-Ruffled Lotous at Quyuan Garden, Autumn Moon Over the Calm Lake, and several parks like “Viewing Fish at the Flower Pond” and “ Orioles Singing in the Willows”.
环湖耸立的山峰，千姿百态。山上多岩洞，如玉乳洞、紫来洞、黄龙洞、紫云洞，石屋洞、水乐洞、烟霞洞等，洞内景色优美，且多古代石刻；山间多泉，以虎跑、龙井、玉泉为佳，九溪十八涧则以“叮叮咚咚水，弯弯曲曲路著称”。此外，还有灵隐寺、六和塔、保俶塔、净慈寺、韬光、云栖等名胜古迹。
Hill peaks tower around the lake and amaze the visitor with the ever-changing aspects of their beauty. Scattered in the adjacent hills are scenic caves and caverns, such as Jade-Milk Cave, Purple Cloud Cave, Stone House Cave, Water Music Cave and Rosy Cloud Cave, most of which have many stone sculptures carved on their walls. Also among the hills one finds springs everywhere, perhaps best represented by Tiger Spring, Dragon Well Spring and Jade Spring.The place called Nine Creeks and Eighteen Gullies is well known for its twisting paths and murmuring streams. Other scenic sites of historical interest include the Monastery of the Soul’s Retreat, Pagoda of Six Harmonies, Baochu Pagoda, Monastery of Pure Benevolence, Taoguan Temple and a scenic path known as Bamboo-lined Path at Yunxi.
市属3市2县境内，北有超山，西有天目山。溯钱塘江而上，有富阳鹳山，桐庐瑶琳仙境、桐君山严子陵钓台，建德灵栖三洞，新安江“三岛湖”等名胜，形成一个以西湖为中心的广阔旅游区。
The beauty spot in the vicinity of Hangzhou from a vast area for tourists with West Lake at its center. To the north of Hangzhou stands Chaoshan Hill, and the west Mount Tianmu. Going up the Qiantang River one finds oneself at Stork Hill near the Terrace where Yan Ziling, a hermit of the Eastern Han Dynasty, loved to go fishing by the Fuchun River in Fuyang City. Nearby are the Yaolin Wonderland in Tonglu County, Tongjun Hill and the three Lingqi Caves in Jiande City, and finally the Thousand-Islet Lake at the source of the Xin’anjiang River.

Ever-changing and Indescribable Beauty
杭州的春天，淡妆浓抹，无不相宜；夏日荷香阵阵，沁人心脾；秋天桂枝飘香，菊花斗艳；冬日琼装玉琢，俏丽媚人。西湖以变幻多姿的风韵，令人心旷神怡。
Sunny or rainy, Hangzhou looks its best in spring. In summer, lotus flowers bloom. Their fragrance brings joy to one’s soul and refreshes the mind. Autumn brings with it the sweet scent of osmanthus flowers along with chrysanthemums in full bloom. In winter, the wintry snow scenes can be likened to an exquisite jade carving. West Lake’s beauty is ever changing but never fails to entice and entrance.
Two River and One Lake Are Uniquely Beautiful
郁郁葱葱的峰岭之间，一条碧澄的玉带逶迤而过，这是美丽的富春江。溯源而西，便是有中国“第二漓江”之称的新安江，尽头处，有浩瀚的“千岛湖”。人们来到这里，无异于后回到了大自然的怀抱，能充分享受淳朴的自然灵气。
Above the Qiangtang River, the picturesque Fuchun River stretches itself through the green and luxuriant hills and is said to resemble a clear jade ribbon. Traveling up the Fuchun River, one may trace its source to the Xin’anjing River, renowned as second only to the famous Lijiang River in Guilin of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. It completes its journey in the vast expanse of the Tousand-Islet Lake. In scenic spots like these, one return to the arm of Nature, enjoying fresh air and natural beauty.

美的山水孕育着美的心灵，美的心灵创造出美的艺术。历来的大诗人、大文学家、大艺术家，都在杭州留下了不朽的篇章。杭州的民间艺术更是异彩纷呈，引人瞩目。
