Hangzhou' s burgeoning cultural center

Nan Shan Lu lies in the southern West Lake scenic area, which is home to most of the scenic and historical locations in Hangzhou. Running nineteen hundreds meters from Hubin Lu in the north to Yuhuangshan Lu in the south, Nan Shan Lu links West Lake' s scenic region with the downtown city center. This stretch of boulevard is regarded as the heart of the city' s culture.

Nan Shan Lu is integrated with the notion of 'Water, Passion and Memory' as it thrives as a hub of modern comforts, such as renowned restaurant chains, coffee, clubs and business centers. And the future looks great, as there is a deep focus on Nan Shan Lu' s continued urban renewal that will make it Hangzhou' s entertainment and cultural destination.

To date, five distinctive areas of Nan Shan Lu have taken form: 'Fancy Nan Shan', which features teahouses and bars; the 'Nan Shan Treasures' area, characterized by a collection of craftworks, paintings and calligraphy; 'Nan Shan Gallery' , flavored with artistic elements; 'Gourmet Nan Shan' , home to local food; and 'Nan Shan Xanadu' , designed for recreation and entertainment.
