    Exactly! Post a video saying West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce is terrible, and you'll get tons of likes. Say it's delicious? No views for you.

      Things like influencers and e-commerce aren't really core to what Hangzhou is about. But online, the moment Hangzhou is mentioned, it's all negative. Locals like us don't even know how to explain it anymore.

        Then don't bother explaining. The more you try, the more worked up they get. Honestly, as long as we're enjoying our lives and good food here, that's all that matters.

          I didn't feel that way when I lived in Hangzhou before. But after a year in Beijing, I resolutely decided to come back.

            Haha, same here! I transferred back to Hangzhou after working in Beijing for two years. Beijing is nice too, but I just couldn't get used to the dry climate.

              Although it's hot and humid this season, the lush greenery everywhere looks like something out of a fairy tale.

                  Hangzhou never disappoints those who make a special trip just for her.

                      Hangzhou: always losing the argument online, but never disappointing in real life.

                          I really love Hangzhou too. My favorite thing is the abundance of dense, shady trees lining the streets. All that lush green is so relaxing.
