China´s Hangzhou adjudged 'happiest city' for 13 consecutive years

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 28 -- Eastern Chinese city, Hangzhou was rated one of the country's cities that offer their citizens utmost happiness at the 2019 China Happy Cities Forum recently, marking the 13th consecutive time the city has bagged the title.

Hangzhou, the only city with such an achievement across the country, was also named as a demonstration model happy city, a special honour from the event's organising committee, according to a statement.

The ‘happiest city’ is the highest praise that a city can get from its citizens. Hangzhou’s happiness is rooted in the hearts of the locals. Compared with other cities in China, Hangzhou pays more attention to people's feelings about the city.

The happiness also comes from the city's steady development as it speeds up the development of the first digital economy city and gathering place of global entrepreneurs among others, giving every entrepreneur and innovator coming to Hangzhou, the opportunity to realise their dreams and live a rich life.

Harmony with nature has contributed to Hangzhou dwellers' happiness, too. The happiness lies in lucid waters and lush mountains as the city is pushing ahead with sophisticated urban governance, enabling a forest coverage rate of 66.83 per cent.

The city has three world cultural heritage sites, namely the West Lake, the Grand Canal and the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City. People living in the ancient capital of Hangzhou with a history of over 1,000 years can experience the high-quality ecological life in the full enjoyment of nature every day.

Hangzhou's happiness is undoubtedly, diversified, and these sources of happiness are only some of them. Diverse senses of happiness are integrated into the subtle texture of Hangzhou, shaping people's daily happy life.
