CHINA: Hangzhou from the Air (The Serial)

Written by Laszlo. First published: 23 March 2023. Last updated: 27 December 2023.

The "Hangzhou from the Air" (俯瞰杭城) is one of our video series published irregularly on YouTube. Each episode is about one or a few minutes long and explores different areas of Hangzhou City (杭州市), the most populous and quazi capital of Eastern China's Zhejiang Province (浙江省). The series focuses mainly on the central urban districts such as Xihu (西湖区), Shangcheng (上城区), Gongshu (拱墅区), and Binjiang (滨江区), and there are also records from the suburban districts, especially from Xiaoshan (萧山区), Yuhang (余杭区) and Linping (临平区), but also from Qiantang (钱塘区), Fuyang (富阳区), and Lin'an (临安区). Hangzhou sub-provincial city has two more counties (Tonglu 桐庐县 and Chun'an 淳安县) and a county-level city (Jiande 建德市).

As the title of the series indicate, the footage used in the videos are filmed by us using a drone, which is, however, not exceptional as many episodes blend also footage recorded by handheld cameras.

Currently, we have one drone. Buster is a DJI Mavic Mini (made in Shenzhen, China in 2020).
