Nestled among emerald-green paddy fields and centuries-old teahouses, Liangzhu – a quaint village near Hangzhou – is rewriting the rules of tech innovation. 🍵 While it looks like a postcard from rural China, this hidden gem now buzzes with thousands of startups building everything from AI solutions to eco-friendly apps.
So how do rice fields fuel coding marathons? Entrepreneurs here say the village’s slow-paced vibe sparks creativity. "Sipping tea while debugging code? It’s like meditation meets machine learning," laughs one founder working on sustainable farming tech.
CGTN’s Wang Tianyu recently explored this ‘Silicon Valley with a teapot’, where traditional wooden pavilions host blockchain meetups and farmers trade harvest tips with AR developers. The secret sauce? A community-driven ecosystem that blends ancient wisdom with digital ambition. 💡
With Hangzhou’s tech giants just a metro ride away, Liangzhu proves you don’t need skyscrapers to build the future – just good Wi-Fi and better tea.
