City leverages its advantages to stoke economy and development

A hand-drawn travel guide to the Asian Games in Hangzhou by a blogger in the Republic of Korea has sparked discussions on social media. In a four-day tour, the blogger plans to watch three games and visit tourist attractions and sample local cuisine in three cities in Zhejiang province: Hangzhou, Shaoxing, and Ningbo.

Tourists coming to Hangzhou can experience the city's culture and vitality, and share their experiences through travel notes and photos on social media. That can be effective marketing for the city. Hangzhou, with its games, stories, food and scenery, is sure to attract even more visitors.

China's tourism economy is a typical reputation-driven economy. From the G20 Summit in 2016 to the 19th Asian Games, Hangzhou has frequently appeared on the world stage. It is a popular venue for such events as it boasts picturesque landscapes, rich historical and cultural heritage, and a unique blend of natural and cultural beauty that exudes the charm of the southern region of China.
