Insiders offer insights into the best of Hangzhou

For many tourists, simply observing a place is no longer the purpose of a trip. Though a stranger, they want a deeper experience of a place.

They want to try out the local food, and discover places where the locals live and work rather than just the common tourist sites.

To help them do this in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, a guide has been compiled called An Insider's Access to Hangzhou, which offers visitors recommendations of places to go.
