The "Beautiful Zhejiang" Global Short Video Contest, which ran from July to December last year, attracted hundreds of original work submissions from talented video creators both at home and abroad.

The videos showcase the amazing landscapes, culture, and socioeconomic development of East China's Zhejiang province from a global perspective, while also capturing colorful images and heart-warming moments from real life.

The online exhibition season for the contest's award-winning videos was recently launched across a wide range of media platforms, including ZTV-World, ZTV NEWS, China Blue, the In Zhejiang website, Xinhua-affiliated websites, Iberia Universal Lda in Portugal, as well as our website, which is an English news portal for the province.

We will release 77 outstanding videos from the contest in the coming weeks.

After years of preservation and restoration by the local government and forestry authority, the Caodang Wetland of North Lake in Yuhang district, Hangzhou has maintained great biodiversity. Owing to its unique geographical location, the wetland contributes to flood storage and drainage for the Tiaoxi River in Hangzhou in the rainy season each year.
