我认为“中国夏都”中“都”包括两层含义:一是指旅游胜地,二是指西宁首府。还有比如“中国花都”也是如此。如果只取其一,后者的意义就损失掉了。

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks, Yang Min

Asker: Hi! Everyone. It's a little bit of hard for me to pick one. 'capital' may make reader think China really has a second capital. But I really like Yang's structure. What about 'The Summer Resort of China'?
