The town built online

The internet has helped shape Wuzhen in more ways than one

The World Internet Conference has brought a significant face-lift to lives of people and businesses in Zhejiang province's Jiaxing, where Wuzhen is located.

Since it was chosen as the permanent site for hosting the WIC in 2014, over the past five years, the once small tourist town has emerged as a sparkling pearl and a new landmark in the map of China's digital economy.
