Zhejiang Province
From wikiCHA
Zhejiang (Chinese: 浙江; pinyin: Zhèjiāng) is an eastern coastal province of the People's Republic of China. The word Zhejiang (crooked river) was the old name of the Qiantang River,[1] which passes through Hangzhou, the provincial capital. The name of the province is often abbreviated to "Zhe" (浙).
The area around Hangzhou in northern Zhejiang has always been a center of Chinese culture and economy since the 10th century, along with that of southern Jiangsu. It is also home to perhaps the most famous green tea from China, the Longjing, or Dragonwell.
Zhejiang borders Jiangsu province and Shanghai municipality to the north, Anhui province to the northwest, Jiangxi province to the west, and Fujian province to the south; to the east is the East China Sea, beyond which lie the Ryukyu Islands of Japan.
