Self-driving vehicles, artificial-intelligence-powered translators, virtual reality goggles, and high-definition video livestreaming enabled by fifth-generation mobile communication technology, are all attracting attention at a smart internet exhibition in Wuzhen, Zhejiang province.

Since the first World Internet Conference was held in Wuzhen water town in 2014, Zhejiang province has spared no efforts in developing its digital economy centered on the internet.
Liu Wenfeng and his wife have been selling vegetables in Wen'er vegetable market in Hangzhou for years. Like the other 279 stall owners in the market, he gets up around 2 am to source products from upstream suppliers, selling a wide variety of vegetables and winding up his day's business only around 7:30 pm.
Tongxiang - the city where Wuzhen, the permanent site for the World Internet Conference, is located - is targeting an output of more than 50 billion yuan ($7.18 billion) in its digital economy by 2020 taking advantage of the overflow effect of the annual cyberspace gala, which brings together top elites and experts from around the world.
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.
As the Fifth World Internet Conference kicks off, the internet industry enters "Wuzhen time" again.
Wuzhen town in East China's Zhejiang province is known for its elegant bridges spanning a myriad waterways, as well as the houses with black roofs and white walls that line their banks.
With their success in popularizing mobile internet applications in China's massive consumer market, local companies are striving to establish a beachhead in the industrial internet, a new front widely recognized as key to integrating the digital and real economies.
US-based software company Cloudera Inc is accelerating its push in the Chinese market, aiming to meet local businesses' growing need for industrial internet and big data.
Like millions of working women in China, Tracy Liu too rides the subway home, but with a difference.
