Founded in 1962, the agency is devoted to boosting the South Korean economy through trade and overseas investment.
Hangzhou hopes to cooperate with the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency in IT, medicine, cultural and creative industries, exhibitions and tourism, said Hangzhou Vice Mayor Tong Guili at the opening ceremony.
Hangzhou's direct trade with South Korea reached US$1.8 billion last year. More than 270 South Korean companies have investment in Hangzhou, including Samsung, LG Electronics and SK Group.
Hangzhou is the sister city of Yousu and Suwon of South Korea. Every year about 400,000 South Koreans visit Hangzhou.
Web R&D center
NetEase, China's leading Internet portal and online game operator, unveiled its new research and development center in Hangzhou this week.
Covering 135,000 square meters of land, including 30,000 square meters of green space, the new R&D center in Binjiang District took three years to build. Each NetEase employee in the R&D center has on average 10 square meters of office space and enjoys free meals served five times a day and a well-equipped gym.
NetEase reported a strong revenue growth in 2010 with last quarter profits rising 25 percent from a year ago to US$108 million. Earnings from online games, its main income generator, surged 31 percent year on year.
"Human resource is the biggest asset of NetEase. It includes not only our own staff but our clients as well," said NetEase CEO William Ding.
Heritage tailor
Zheng Xing Xiang, a traditional Chinese tailor shop in Shangcheng District, has been listed as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of China. It is the sixth nominee in the district to join the national list after Hu Qing Yu Tang traditional Chinese medicine store, Zhang Xiaoquan scissors store, Wang Xin Ji fan shop, Zhejiang-style guqin (a plucked seven-string instrument) and Hangzhou bronze sculpture.
Zheng Xing Xiang is famous for custom-made qipao, silk coats and silk winter jackets. The time-honored tailor shop has two outlets on Qingnian Road and Jiefang Road. Its handmade clothes have attracted many big-name customers such as Yao Ming.
Metro station
Construction has finished on the main part of downtown Hangzhou's Wulin Square Station on the city's Metro Line 1, according to Hangzhou Metro Group. The line is expected to be open to the public by next October.
The accessory structure of the station, construction of which started in October 2008, is still being built. The station, 161.75 meters long and 36.6 meters wide, will extend three levels underground.
The station's B1 level will hold various retailers and link shopping malls nearby. The B2 level will contain precision equipment only accessed by staff elevators. The B3 level is designed as an island platform with trains heading in opposite directions on either side.
The station designed to have five gates will also become a transfer hub between Line 1 and Line 3 in the future. The planned Wulin Square complex above the station is expected to cover 243,000 square meters and integrate hotels, office buildings with shopping malls and recreational facilities, aiming to develop into the city's largest one-stop commercial hub.
