Hangzhou in Zhejiang province is making great efforts to embed profound humanistic values into economic development amid modernization.

First, it shapes the city through culture. Today, Hangzhou boasts three World Cultural Heritage sites and five UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage elements. The city's rich historical and #cultural legacy now shines side by side with its identities as a hub of innovation and a model of eco-civilization.

Second, it empowers industries through culture. By pursuing a strategy that revitalizes industries with culture and harnesses the power of technology, Hangzhou has cultivated a vibrant cultural and creative sector. Defined by models such as "culture + creativity", "culture + technology", and "culture + talent", this sector has emerged as a new engine powering the city's growth.

Third, it enriches the people through culture. Through the construction of numerous cultural venues, the organization of diverse cultural activities — including performances, exhibitions, and lectures — and the active promotion of cultural programs in rural areas, Hangzhou has significantly enriched the cultural life of both #urban and rural residents.
