This “Art+” centered town, Artinno Town, has become a highland of cultural creativity and design with rich cultural deposits, and is also where one of the popular movies was filmed.

Binjiang Industrial Ruins Park is the best place to observe the city scape from up high at the cylindrical-shaped plants, where Zhijiang Bridge, the“most beautiful jogging track” are laid out in front of you.

The abandoned Jiangshu Railway Track was the first railway track in Zhejiang Province. Enhanced by the surrounding green space, it has been repurposed into a Instagramable spot in Hangzhou, which is now part of the White Pagoda Park.
