With the clock ticking down to the 19th Asian Games to be held in Hangzhou, neighboring Zhejiang Province, Fuyang District in Hangzhou has staged a tourism promotion campaign in Shanghai.
Fuyang will host the games of five sports including archery and modern pentathlon during the sports event which runs from September 23 to October 8.
The district is known for the Fuchun River. Chinese literati composed nearly 3,000 poems eulogizing the picturesque landscape and idyllic lifestyle along the Fuchun River.
Inspired by the scenery, painter Huang Gongwang created the painting "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains," which is one of the top artistic treasures of China.
