CGTN published this video item, entitled “Watch the Asian Games with Me: Ancient buildings coexist with modernity at West Lake” – below is their description.
The 19th #AsianGames is underway in #Hangzhou, east China. CGTN invited Tomas, a vlogger from the Netherlands, to tour the host city by bike and experience the clothing, food, transportation and architecture there.
In this video, Tomas takes us on a morning tour around the West Lake, where tradition and modernity coexist. Let’s follow him to enjoy the view of Spring Dusk on the Su Causeway, one of the top 10 scenes of the West Lake, experience Chinese aesthetics of buildings in the quiet and beautiful morning and listen to the Legend of the White Snake under the Leifeng Pagoda.

China is the third largest country in the world by area and the largest country in the world by population. Properly known as the People’s Republic of China, the political territory of the country includes Tibet and Hong Kong. The capital is Beijing.
The Netherlands, informally Holland, is a country primarily located in Western Europe and partly in the Caribbean, forming the largest constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. In Europe, it consists of 12 provinces that border Germany to the east, Belgium to the south, and the North Sea to the northwest, with maritime borders in the North Sea with those countries and the United Kingdom. In the Caribbean, it consists of three special municipalities: the islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba. The country’s official language is Dutch, with West Frisian as a secondary official language in the province of Friesland, and English and Papiamentu as secondary official languages in the Caribbean Netherlands. Dutch Low Saxon and Limburgish are recognised regional languages (spoken in the east and southeast respectively), while Sinte Romani and Yiddish are recognised non-territorial languages.
