Hangzhou is a city in pursuit of a better life. Her beauty lies in her natural, economic, cultural, and historical assets. But she also offers our present life a rich variety of inclusive social services.

Hangzhou citizens have a strong sense of identity with the city and are proud of her progress. They are willing to contribute their own skills to the city’s development and public welfare.

Residents, scholars, entrepreneurs, and media practitioners in Hangzhou all have a citizen’s awareness of public participation in urban governance and public service. The Hangzhou government provides opportunities for and facilitates such citizenship. It also shows great concern for and provides effective assistance to vulnerable groups and migrant workers.

Hangzhou uses a “we” concept to foster mutual communication and coordination between individuals in society, different values, and various demands. The city is gradually developing a consensus, making great efforts to build a community of common destiny and create a city of harmonious coexistence.
