About Hangzhou
Wealthy Zhejiang capital on the West Lake, long a byword in China for scenery and silk. Close enough to Shanghai to live partly in its shadow.
Population about 4,400,000 at the game's 2010 snapshot.
Hangzhou is a business market: its traffic comes from companies and connections rather than from holidays, which rewards frequency over seat count.
