HUZHOU, China, Dec. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

A three-minute video featuring the county of Deqing, Huzhou City, east China's

Zhejiang Province, has become a hit recently on social media, attracting

attention from netizens both at home and abroad.

"Meet Idyllic and Picturesque Deqing", posted on the accounts @Hi Deqing on

Facebook and Twitter recently, depicts Deqing's striking landscape scenery and

county views, which is just how the local folks see their hometown and gives

them a strong sense of belonging and pride.

The video on Facebook alone captured almost 3.8 million views and more than

67,000 interactions. Followers left messages to express their praise, and even

shared this video. David Smith wrote: "Sometime soon I will return to see such

places." Subramani Chetty said: "You better go to China and stay."

Deqing is famous for its natural and cultural endowments such as mountains,

wetlands and ancient towns. Local economy has over these years been developing

at an astonishing pace.

In an endeavor to explore new platforms connecting Deqing and the outside

world, the county launched its official accounts on Facebook and Twitter on

Aug. 19, to show a county full of vitality, charm and great development

potential.

After careful planning and design, the accounts set up several themes to

categorize Deqing's natural and cultural resources. In addition to posting

photos and videos on landscapes, food, festivals and celebrations, and

collective prosperity on a daily basis, the two accounts also follow up closely

with current events and set up creative activities to attract interaction and

sharing.

When the United Nations Biodiversity Conference (COP 15) was held from Oct. 11

to 15 in China's Yunnan, a video on how Deqing has been protecting crested

ibis, a rare and endangered birds and national first-class protected animal,

was released on the accounts. These years the county has been focusing on the

bird's artificial cultivation and reintroduction to the wild.

Photos of Leonid Meteor Shower on Mogan Mountain in Deqing were posted on the

accounts in November, which combined the county's tourist resources and good

wishes.

Social media is currently the main source of information for overseas

audiences. The two accounts, which boast over 90,000 and 15,000 followers

respectively, now serve and will always serve as a bridge of direct dialogues

between the county and overseas audience.
