Directions: 阅读以下关于杭州和苏州的对比文章,完成题目。
Two Ancient Cities: Hangzhou vs. Suzhou
Hangzhou and Suzhou, both located near Shanghai, are among China's most beautiful ancient cities. While they share a long history and cultural significance, each has its unique charm that attracts different types of travelers.
Natural Scenery
Hangzhou is famous for West Lake, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The lake's beauty changes with the seasons—pink peach blossoms in spring, lotus flowers in summer, golden leaves in autumn, and a quiet snowscape in winter. Similarly, Suzhou is known for its classical gardens, also UNESCO sites. However, Suzhou's beauty is more man-made, with carefully designed rocks, ponds, and pavilions creating "miniature landscapes." In contrast, Hangzhou's West Lake feels more natural and expansive.
Cultural Experiences
Both cities offer rich cultural experiences but in different forms. Hangzhou is the home of Longjing tea, and visitors can participate in tea ceremonies and visit tea plantations. Likewise, Suzhou has its own traditional art forms, particularly Suzhou opera and silk production. On the other hand, Hangzhou's culture is more connected to poetry and painting inspired by West Lake, whereas Suzhou's culture is closely tied to gardening and craftsmanship.
Modern Development
In recent decades, both cities have developed modern sectors while preserving their historical areas. Hangzhou has become a tech hub, home to companies like Alibaba. In comparison, Suzhou has focused more on advanced manufacturing and has one of China's largest industrial parks. Despite their modern growth, unlike some cities that sacrifice history for development, both Hangzhou and Suzhou have carefully protected their ancient districts.
Visitor Recommendations
For nature lovers who enjoy walking around large lakes and hills, Hangzhou may be preferable. For those interested in Chinese garden art and traditional crafts, Suzhou might be more suitable. Fortunately, the high-speed train connects them in just 90 minutes, so visitors can easily experience both cities' contrasting charms.

4. What does the underlined word "whereas" in paragraph 3 indicate?
A) A time sequence between two events.
