Hangzhou City has many wealthy counties.....
One county town, Tonglu County, Hangzhou City
Zhejiang Province's success is about the development at the lowest level, townships, towns and even villages.

Another county town, Jiangde County, Hangzhou City

Have you been to it? What did you think?
I've never been to so far...
But there is some Indian flying pancake (In Chinese, 印度飞饼)seen at many food courts, the chef is sometimes Indian I think, from their look. But I've heard such pancake is actually more Southeast Asian....the best favour for me the pineapple

Its Roti prata (singapore)....or Roti Canai (Malaysia) ...yes they took an Indian dish (just called Paratha in India) and made their influenced version of it

This one right?:


I have not seen it quite made into a sweet fruit version like that....normally I am used to the spicy savoury one:

Can have veggie dips and chutneys....or also really good with some mutton curry.

Hangzhou’s role as G20 summit host city shows China’s political confidence

By Zhang Jingwei , September 02, 2016, People's Daily

FOREIGN201609020419000289484276237.jpg


Photo taken on Aug. 31, 2016 shows a night view of Hangzhou, capital city of east China's Zhejiang Province. The G20 Summit will be held in Hangzhou from Sept. 4 to 5.

When it comes to choosing a city to host an international forum in China, first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai always come to mind. For that reason, Hangzhou, a quasi-first-tier city in China, has received wide attention for hosting the upcoming Group of 20 (G20) summit...

As the old Chinese saying goes, in heaven, paradise, on earth, Suzhou and Hangzhou. This illustrates Hangzhou's long and lauded history as a vital part of China. To get a sense of the city's economic vitality, one only needs to consider that the city harbors the headquarters of Alibaba and other private firms like domestic beverage maker Hangzhou Wahaha Group.

China has moved past the phase where it needs Beijing or Shanghai to show a Chinese image. Instead, varied cities in China are beginning to host global events. If we have to attribute the move away from Beijing or Shanghai to political implications, it might be suggested that this is a display of political confidence.

Besides, since beginning with the sixth G20 summit in Cannes, France, the summit has been hosted in other tourist cities like Los Cabos, Mexico in 2012, Brisbane, Australia in 2014 and Antalya, Turkey in 2015. Hangzhou fits perfectly into this trend.

Further, Hangzhou's economic vitality and innovative development should also be viewed as complementary to the G20 summit's theme: "Toward an Innovative, Invigorated, Interconnected and Inclusive World Economy."

Following China's political opening-up and efforts in promoting an innovative economy, more Chinese cities have grown increasingly international, a fact that may have escaped the rest of the world. Now, following the G20 Hangzhou summit, there is a greater possibility that more second-tier and third-tier Chinese cities will host international conferences and global activities.
