West Lake Expo

The Hangzhou West Lake Expo started in 1929. Since it was resumed in 2000, it has been successfully staged for eight consecutive times. The Expo gives prominence to the aim for “a platform for developing the convention and exhibition industry, a carrier of cultural and ideological progress, and a festival for the ordinary people and the tourists from home and abroad”, sticks to the goal of “people first, thrift, virtue and safety”, thus playing the role as a platform, leader and incubator for developing the convention and exhibition industry.

The Expo gives prominence to the theme “harmonious West Lake, charming Hangzhou”, centers around constructing Hangzhou's fame as “a city with quality life”, and develops the brand in the convention and exhibition industry as “West Lake Expo, City with Quality Life”. It boasts 65 projects, which are linked together with the theme of life quality, in 7 series of conventions and exhibitions: healthy life, leisure life, comfortable life, artistic life, beautiful life, digital life and entrepreneurship life.

Since it was resumed in 2000, the West Lake Expo has received visitors totaling 72,193,7000 person-times, the trade transaction value amounted to 63.241 billion RMB yuan, the contracted foreign investment reached 4.924 billion USD, and contracted domestic investment totaled 67.553 billion yuan, facilitating the development of the convention and exhibition industry in Hangzhou. It provides a platform and plays a leading role in developing the convention and exhibition industry in Hangzhou. As the incubator of Hangzhou's convention and exhibition industry, apart from the projects during the Expo in October, the West Lake Expo has also planned and developed a group of projects covering the rest of the year to promote the balanced development of the convention and exhibition industry. In 2007, the latter type of projects will account for 51% of the total. The West Lake Expo has facilitated the development of the convention and exhibition industry not only in the city proper, but also in the counties (county-level cities) of Hangzhou. The counties (county-level cities) have been actively participating in the West Lake Expo, thus the coordinated development pattern of the greater Hangzhou taking its shape.

Holding Date: The middle ten days of October every year
