THE 12th West Lake International Expo is going to be held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, from October 16 to November 6, dovetailing with the Shanghai World Expo.
A series of activities and galas is planned, such as the International Folk Music Festival, Clown Carnival, World Drift Series, the West Lake Art Expo, Dragon Boat Culture Festival in the Xixi Wetland, Wushan Temple Fair, Chao Mountain Plum Blossom Festival.
Seeing the Shanghai World Expo as an opportunity for Hangzhou's travel and convention industries, the city labeled many of its festivals "World Expo."
A forum on "harmonious city life," echoing the World Expo Shanghai, will be launched in Hangzhou during the West Lake Expo, co-hosted by United Nations Human Settlements Program, the National Ministry of Housing and Construction, Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination and Hangzhou People's Government.
In Hangzhou's exhibit at the Shanghai Expo, local government will publicize 10 classic Hangzhou tourism routes. Visitors can get travel coupons with discounts.
These include some of the most famous natural attractions of the city, such as the West Lake, the Xixi Wetland and the Grant Canal, idyllic village life - such as Longmen Old Town and Fuyang Village famous for making rice paper (Chinese art paper) - ancient cultural sights such as the China Tea Museum and Royal Street of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Hangzhou and Shanghai together are planning shuttle bus services between the two cities during World Expo.
Meanwhile, the local tourism bureau will set up more than 100 information desks around Hangzhou's scenic spots, offering information and help for hotel and restaurant bookings.
