HANGZHOU, China, Apr. 29, 2019 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/--

The eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou is known as China's "Love Capital", where many fascinating oriental stories have occurred, such as the story of "Liang Zhu", which has been regarded as "the Oriental Romeo and Juliet". Meanwhile, Hangzhou has the most developed internet and digital economy industries in China. Encouraged by the rich cultural cultivations and story elements, coupled with the most avant-garde digital technologies, a large number of young artists and technology entrepreneurs have made Hangzhou into a "capital of cartoon & animation" with its unique style. As a result of the development of cartoon and animation, this famous oriental city has demonstrated its urban vitality with more diversity.

Staring from 2005, Hangzhou holds an annual city-wide party in the name of "cartoon & animation" every May. Over the past 14 years, a total of 16.2 million people around the world have participated in the event. As scheduled, from April 30 through May 5 this year, the 15th China International Cartoon & Animation Festival will be held in Hangzhou. Disney, Sony Entertainment from the US, Webtoon, South Korea's largest comics platform, and cartoon and animation companies, organizations and guests from 86 countries and regions around the world are coming to Hangzhou to participate in the event, which is, for now, the only national professional cartoon and animation exhibition in China, as well as the largest, most popular and influential cartoon and animation festival in the world.
