History
The Grand Canal made Hangzhou a large and relatively wealthy port city on the Yangtze River near the sea. It has long been an imperial capital or a provincial capital.
609 The expansionist but short-lived Sui Empire constructed the Grand Canal to its full length, and this allowed for economical trade and travel all the way to Beijing far to the north.
1123 The Song Empire was defeated by the Jin Empire north of the Yangtze River, and Hangzhou became the capital city of the Southern Song Empire.
1123 - 1276 As the capital city of the Southern Song Empire, Hangzhou became perhaps the largest and wealthiest city in the world.
1276 The Mongol Empire conquered Hangzhou, and under their rule, Hangzhou prospered once again.
1500s During the Ming Dynasty era, Hangzhou's port gradually filled with silt, and the city lost its prominence as a principal merchants' city.
2000-2011 Hangzhou became known as the wealthiest of the smaller big cities in China (main urban population less than 5 million).
2011 The "West Lake Cultural Landscape" was en tered into the UNESCO World Heritage List.
