Do you means the Hangzhou Bay economic and technological development zone? If yes, I won't recommend it to you because there are almost no attractions that can be visited. You are advised to take a tour to the Bund, Yuyuan Garden and Disneyland.

Hangzhou has beautiful West Lake (XIHU) which is worth a visit all by itself. Hangzhou bay funnels down to the Qiantang River. Time your visit right and you will see the incredible Silver Dragon, the world's biggest tidal bore. This is one place where "watching the tide come in" is a heart-pounding sight. Watch it on YouTube to get a sense of its power.

For natural views, you can enjoy the Huangpu River on the Bund, and go to Yuyuan Garden. Man-made masterpieces in downtown include the buildings and complex on the Bund, Oriental Pearl TV Tower, and Jinmao Tower.

Except hills and mountains in the southwest, the rest areas are plains. The average elevation is about 4.4 yards. This area belongs to Yangtze River Delta and halfway along China's eastern coastline.
