As the Asian Games in Hangzhou approach, the city is buzzing with excitement. To showcase Hangzhou’s rich cultural heritage, CGTN’s Global Stringer invited Tomas, a vlogger from the Netherlands, to explore the city on two wheels.
Hangzhou has been renowned for its silk since ancient times. The city’s silk is celebrated for its softness and vibrant colors, reflecting craftsmanship passed down through generations. Tomas embarked on a cycling journey through Hangzhou’s historic Silk Street and bustling Silk Market, immersing himself in the sights and sounds of these iconic locations.
At the Silk Market, Tomas discovered a dazzling array of silk products, from traditional garments to modern accessories, each piece telling a story of Hangzhou’s enduring connection to this luxurious fabric. His exploration offered a unique glimpse into how silk continues to shape the city’s identity.
Through his lens, viewers are invited to experience the charm of Hangzhou—a city where tradition meets innovation—just in time for the grand event of the Asian Games.
