The Hong Kong and Macao Youth Zhejiang Tour started in Quzhou on July 4 and will last four days.

About 80 young people are visiting Quzhou to experience the culture of Confucius, the achievements of Zhejiang's Green Rural Revival Program, the city's business environment and the youth entrepreneurship atmosphere.

The youth delegation started their visit at the Quzhou Culture and Art Center and Civic Service Center.

The Quzhou Culture and Art Center and Civic Service Center comprise one of Quzhou's most famous buildings. On New Year's Day, four venues, namely a cultural center, an art museum, an intangible cultural heritage museum and a library at the Quzhou Culture and Art Center and Civic Service Center opened to the public.

Their second stop was Luming Cultural Street, which integrates culture, commerce and tourism.

The third stop is the Lawn Park of Quzhou Smart New Town, which is beloved by locals and is considered the "green lung" of the city. The Lawn Park was completed in 2014, and after renovation and upgrading in 2022, its area has reached 210,000 square meters.

The Shuitingmen Historical and Cultural Block, the fourth stop, is home to traditional architecture and rich historical and cultural heritage. It is known as the "museum without walls". The block offers cultural experiences, dining, art experiences, and educational training. Since its opening in 2016, it has been popular with both local residents and tourists.
