Summit could put capital of Zhejiang on the map

Whenever I tell my friends back in Australia, "I'm living, studying and working in China, in Hangzhou", their first response usually is "Where is Hangzhou?".

Naturally I tell them that it's about 200 km southwest of Shanghai. In the 13th century the famous explorer Marco Polo described Hangzhou as "the City of Heaven, the most beautiful and magnificent in the world".

Surprisingly enough, I believe that the city still lives up to that description to this day!
