Located in the west of Hangzhou City, Xixi National Wetland Park is only 6 km to the Wulin Gate in the key central area of Hangzhou and only 5 km to West Lake. The Xixi area started in Han and Jin dynasties, developed in Tang and Song dynasties, prospered in Ming and Qing dynasties, declined in the period of Republic of China and re-prospered in modern times. Along with West Lake and Xiling Seal Society, Xixi is well-known as one of the “three Xi”. In the past Xixi covered an area of 60 square kms.
Now the total area of Xixi wetland is about 11.5 square kms that developed in successively three stages.
Xixi is a rare wetland in China that integrates urban wetland, cultivating wetland and cultural wetland into a whole. Also it is the first national wetland park in the country.
