The city of Hangzhou is launching a series of cultural activities through the end of October to bolster its night economy.

One of the highlights was an outdoor fair of creative cultural products under the theme "Amazing Night in Hangzhou", which ran from July 30 to Aug 1, saw five nationwide museums and seven local museums showcasing multiple creations inspired by their iconic exhibits.

To reflect the archeological ruins of Hangzhou's Liangzhu city, inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage list in 2019, patterns from cong jade artifacts from Liangzhu dating back 5,000 years were added to the fans, umbrellas and silk items that have long been local specialties of the city.
