In June, I went to Hangzhou to visit the Grand Canal, and I remember the fireworks and scenery of the canal. Citizens | tourists | fireworks and fireworks
Water is the horizon of the eye, and mountains are the gathering of eyebrows. Do you want to ask pedestrians where to go? Eyes and eyebrows are full. The use of these few ancient poems to describe the picturesque Gongshu district of Hangzhou is the most appropriate. On June 7th, the 2023 Hangzhou Gongshu District Yangtze River Delta Cultural and Tourism Promotion Week, known as the "Fashion Capital Canal Pearl," kicked off on Nanjing Road in Shanghai. With full enthusiasm and sincerity, Gongshu District invited citizens and tourists from Shanghai to "roam the Grand Canal and experience the ancient life in the city.".
Gongshu District is the main urban area of Hangzhou, located at the southernmost end of the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal. It is surrounded by nearly 1000 hectares of Mid Mountain National Forest Park to the north and the beautiful West Lake to the south, covering an area of 119 square kilometers. As the most essence of Hangzhou Canal culture, Gongshu has nearly 30 kilometers of world cultural heritage riverway, 3 world heritage sites, more than 20 museums of various kinds, including five national museums of Chinese knife, sword, umbrella and fan, Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal Museum, 21 industrial relics, and 5 historic blocks. In 2019, the construction of the Grand Canal National Cultural Park was elevated to a national strategy.
Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times, starting from the area within Gongshu with Wulin Gate as the center. As the birthplace of modern ethnic industry in Zhejiang, Gongshu has written the glory of Hangzhou's industrial history. In recent years, it has achieved great changes in the process of "changing cages for birds and phoenix rebirth", focusing on building a "fashion city, a new city of digital intelligence, and a pearl of the canal". In 2022, the total retail sales of consumer goods in Gongshu District exceeded 130 billion yuan, ranking first in the province.
Gongshu is also a demonstration area for cultural and tourism integration in Zhejiang Province. There are multiple national food blocks, tourism and leisure blocks, and nighttime cultural and tourism consumption clusters in the jurisdiction. There are world heritage sites such as Gongchen Bridge and Fuyicang, canal culture and tourism brands such as Qiaoxi, Dadou Road and Xiaohezhi Street, as well as trendy culture, youth economy and fashion cluster areas such as Wulin Business District, Wulin Road Women's Street, Xintiandi Vitality Street, Hangzhou X-Show, Rumeng Shangtang Night Tour, Shengli River Food Street and other night consumption network red card counters.

It is worth mentioning that Gongshu is also the main hosting area for the 19th Asian Games, with four distinctive competition venues including "Starship", "Dayu Cong", and "Hangzhou Umbrella". It will host eight events including table tennis, field hockey, boxing, esports, breakdancing, and table tennis, blind football, and hard ground rolling for the Asian Games.
At the promotion event, Wang Jiling, a travel expert and lifestyle blogger, shared the micro tourism experience of Gongshu City with the audience through personal experience of walking on the line, sharing Gongshu's long historical heritage, colorful cultural landscape, and practical strategies for "food, accommodation, transportation, travel, shopping, and entertainment". In the promotion week, the cultural and tourism department of Gongshu also set up two static exhibition devices with unique characteristics of Gongshu culture and tourism in the core area of Nanjing East Road Pedestrian Street in Shanghai, allowing Shanghai citizens and tourists to experience and understand the cultural and tourism characteristics of Gongshu up close, and get close to the Grand Canal.
It is reported that during this year's May Day holiday, Hangzhou received 6.3552 million foreign tourists, an increase of 20.8% compared to the same period in 2019, and the proportion of tourists from outside the province reached 48%. Among the foreign tourists visiting Gongshu District, Shanghai tourists rank first in terms of quantity. In order to further strengthen communication and cooperation, a signing ceremony for cultural and tourism cooperation enterprises between the two regions was also held at the event site. Multiple hotels, tourism and entertainment enterprises in Hangzhou and travel agencies in Shanghai signed cooperation agreements.
