Why are the World Internet Conference held in Wuzhen, China?

The World Internet Conference was chosen to be held in Wuzhen, firstly because of Wuzhen’s unique geographical location, and secondly because Wuzhen has a strong Internet atmosphere. Below, we will discuss these two reasons in detail.

Indeed, Wuzhen is just a small town, and a very inconspicuous town in Zhejiang Province. Whether in terms of economic status or administrative level, Wuzhen cannot be compared with big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, but we should not ignore the uniqueness of Wuzhen's geographical location. Judging from the map, Wuzhen is located in the "Golden Triangle" area of ??Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. As we all know, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai can be said to be the most economically developed provinces in China, so Wuzhen's prime location is very important.

It is reported that Wuzhen is 60 kilometers away from Hangzhou and Suzhou, and 106 kilometers away from Shanghai. Wuzhen is a typical ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River. It is known as the "Land of Fish and Rice and the House of Silk". It is one of the first batch of Chinese historical and cultural towns, one of China's top ten charming towns, a national beautiful town, and a national 5A-level scenic spot. The unique geographical location, coupled with Wuzhen's reputation, has become one of the reasons why the World Internet Conference was chosen to be held in Wuzhen.

In fact, Wuzhen is not only a thousand-year-old ancient town, but also a very modern town. Hangzhou is home to the world-renowned e-commerce giant Alibaba, and has also attracted giants such as NetEase and Huawei to settle in. Especially in recent years, the Internet atmosphere in the city of Hangzhou is still very strong. In addition, Wuzhen is relatively close to Shanghai, which is one of the internationally renowned economically developed cities and one of the cities with relatively developed Internet economy in China. Therefore, the ancient town of Wuzhen still has a very good atmosphere and reputation in the Internet field.

The good Internet atmosphere and Wuzhen’s unique geographical location are an important reason why Wuzhen was chosen for the World Internet Conference. Another factor that cannot be ignored is that Wuzhen itself is a microcosm of China's 5,000-year-old culture and a window leading the development of the domestic Internet industry. Wuzhen is undoubtedly the best place to hold the World Internet Conference.
