The Hangzhou campus is located at the heart of Qianjiang New Town, next to where the Grand Canal meets the Qiantang River. The area is known as the central business district of Hangzhou, featuring high-rise buildings, commercial centres, and modern landmarks With over 9 million inhabitants, Hangzhou, the capital of China's Zhejiang province, is the southern terminus of the ancient Grand Canal waterway, which originates in Beijing. Its West Lake, celebrated by poets and artists since the 9th century, encompasses islands (reachable by boat), temples, pavilions, gardens and arched bridges. The subtropical monsoon climate contributes to varied seasonal sceneries, making Hangzhou one of China's most popular destinations all the year round - a real holiday hot spot and therefore a great location in which to set up living.
