The 18th Universities’ Alliance across the Strait on Cultural Creative Industries Research opened in Hangzhou’s Whitehorse Lake last weekend.

The Universities’ Alliance across the Strait on Cultural Creative Industries Research was settled in Hangzhou in 2012.“At that time, there were two candidate cities, Hangzhou and Xiamen, but finally Hangzhou‘won’. Why? Because Hangzhou’s fame served as a decisive factor, and also the years’ efforts made in the given field by Hangzhou.” said Professor FAN Zhou, who is the Chairman of the Universities’ Alliance across the Strait on Cultural Creative Industries Research.

So far，the forum has been held in Hangzhou for 6 years in succession.
