Hangzhou[a] is the capital city of the Chinese province of Zhejiang.[9]: 86 With a population of 13 million,[10] the municipality comprises ten districts, two counties, and one county-level city in northwestern Zhejiang. It is situated at the head of Hangzhou Bay and the estuary of the Qiantang River.[11]
Established as a county seat in 221 BC, Hangzhou later served as the capital of the Wuyue Kingdom (923–997) and the Southern Song dynasty (1138–1276).[12] The city has three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, which are the West Lake Cultural Landscape, the Grand Canal, and the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City.[13]
Hangzhou is designated as a sub-provincial city.[14] Hangzhou ranked ninth in GDP among mainland Chinese cities and 14th according to the Global Innovation Index.[15][16] The city hosts the headquarters of Alibaba Group, Ant Group, DeepSeek, Geely, and NetEase.[17] According to the Nature Index, it ranks 13th globally in scientific research output.[18]
