Nestled in the heart of the Qianjiang New CBD, Hangzhou’s Urban Balcony is a multi-level park that redefines how we experience cityscapes. Suspended above the Qiantang River, the main section offers uninterrupted, 360° views of the river’s sweep and the dynamic skyline beyond.
Open-air terraces and two auxiliary balconies blend leisure, tide watching, and entertainment into one seamless experience. Whether you’re catching the legendary tidal bore at dawn or snapping sunset selfies against the city lights, the Urban Balcony has become a social magnet for locals, tourists, and digital nomads alike.
Designed for accessibility, the park’s wide promenades and viewing platforms invite newcomers and seasoned explorers to linger over riverside cafés, pop-up art installations, and live performances. It’s a hub where entrepreneurs sketch out business plans over coffee, influencers broadcast their latest finds, and sustainability advocates champion green design in urban planning.
Best visited during early mornings for tranquil waterside walks or evenings when LED-lit city towers sparkle across the river, the Urban Balcony exemplifies how modern metropolises can fuse nature, culture, and innovation in one unforgettable destination.
