Dutch vloggers Tomas and Kevin recently embarked on a cycling journey through Hangzhou, unveiling the city’s picturesque landscapes and modern charm just as it prepares to host the 19th Asian Games. Known for its harmonious blend of natural beauty and urban sophistication, Hangzhou has been named the seventh most bike-friendly city in the world and is the only non-European city in the top ten.
Riding along the city’s extensive greenways, the duo experienced firsthand the allure of Hangzhou’s West Lake, rolling hills, lush tea fields, and historic pavilions. Their adventure highlights not only the city’s commitment to sustainable transportation but also its readiness to welcome athletes and visitors from across Asia.
After eight years of meticulous preparation, Hangzhou is set to present a “green, smart, economical, and ethical” Asian Games. This global event aims to showcase Chinese characteristics while promoting environmental consciousness and technological innovation.
As the countdown to the Games continues, Hangzhou’s efforts in enhancing its infrastructure and preserving its cultural heritage are evident. The city’s cycling-friendly initiatives not only improve the quality of life for residents but also offer visitors a unique way to explore its scenic wonders.
