With the Asian Games kicking off soon in Hangzhou, Dutch travel vlogger Tomas is giving the world a sneak peek into the city’s magic—one bike ride at a time. 🌏 In a collab with CGTN, he’s answering every first-time visitor’s burning questions, from where to eat to how to slay in Hanfu (traditional Chinese attire) by the iconic West Lake.
🚲 \"Hangzhou feels like a living museum,\" Tomas says, as he cycles through Silk Street, where history meets hustle. In his latest video, he dives into four pillars of the Hangzhou experience:
- 👘 Clothing: Hanfu enthusiasts share why this 4,000-year-old fashion is trending again.
- 🍜 Food: Hidden tea houses and street snacks that’ll make your TikTok famous.
- 🏯 Architecture: Ancient pagodas vs. modern skyline—a visual feast.
- 🌉 Travel Tips: Navigating the city like a local (spoiler: rent a bike!).
From Silk Road history to #AsianGames hype, Tomas proves Hangzhou isn’t just about sports—it’s a cultural goldmine. 🏅✨
