The Hangzhou Civic Center and City Balcony have become new landmarks

Yesterday, the cold wind in Hangzhou was biting. The cold in the south always makes northerners unbearable, and it also makes me, a southerner, unbearable, with the wind causing a headache. I chatted with a friend over lunch until 3:30 in the afternoon and found that it seemed too late to go to the usual famous scenic spots in Hangzhou (which close at 16:30). My mother suddenly mentioned that I hadn't been to the new civic center in Hangzhou, and suggested that I could go for a walk. The civic center and the city government have both moved to this new place. With the Asian Games having been held in Hangzhou not long ago, the mascot at the entrance of the city government is still there. If you walk forward from the civic center, you will reach the CBD Park, underneath which is the Sands Ship Outlet with many shops and brands, and it is directly connected to the subway station. If you walk towards the Qiantang River, on the left is the Hangzhou Grand Theater (an ugly building), and on the right is an international conference center that looks like a golden ping pong ball. The G20 Summit was held here. My God! What a design! It's incredibly crowded! If you continue walking, you will reach the Qiantang River. It seems that they want to build a Lujiazui in Hangzhou here. The wind by the river is extremely strong, causing a real headache. You can see the main venue of the Asian Games (a petal-shaped stadium) across the river, as well as a bizarre building that looks like two upward-facing legs (extremely ugly). Well, anyway, my dad and I complained a lot, which embarrassed my mom. She said, anyway, I brought you here to see it.
