Indian national Raj Uppada has enjoyed the best time of his life in Hangzhou. As a food and beverage manager at the Hilton Hangzhou Qiandao Lake, he said, "My work makes me very happy, but what makes me even happier is the beauty of Qiandao Lake. I love staying here because of the natural setting, lush green mountains, the lake and the air."

"Sooner or later we all need to travel and move somewhere else. When I do go somewhere else, when I talk with people, I will tell them that I had the most memorable moments in my life at Qiandao Lake."
