Hangzhou's Shangcheng District and Xiacheng District are both the city centers.

There are ten urban areas in Hangzhou, namely Shangcheng District, Xiacheng District, Xihu District, Gongshu District, Jianggan District, Binjiang District, Xiaoshan District, Yuhang District, Fuyang District and Lin'an District.

There are two counties: Tonglu County and Chun'an County, and Jiande City is a county-level city that also belongs to Hangzhou City.

There are two main city centers, one is Yan'an Road and the area near West Lake (Wulin Square, Hubin, Wushan Square); the other is the city center along the river, mainly including Qianjiang New City and Qianjiang Century City.

They represent the West Lake era and Qiantang River era in Hangzhou respectively.

There are 6 sub-centers in the city, namely Jiangnan Sub-center, Linping Sub-center, Xiasha Sub-center, Dajiangdong Sub-center, Future Science and Technology City Sub-center and Chengbei Sub-center.

There are 18 urban sub-centers, including Chengdong New Town, Zhijiang, Jiuqiao Trade City, Puyang, Jiangcun, Hangzhou South Railway Station, Huanglong, etc.

Extended information: There are many opinions about the center of Hangzhou, and each group of people thinks of the center of Hangzhou differently.

Old Hangzhou said that at the entrance of Guanxiang, Hangzhou’s best medical, cultural and entertainment, catering, leisure, shopping and fashion resources are concentrated here.

New Hangzhou people say that in the Wulin Square area, there is the historical and cultural heritage of the word "Wulin". With the help of Wulin Square, West Lake Cultural Plaza, Wulin Yintai, Hangzhou Department Store, Hangzhou Tower, and the National City Plaza platform, there will be more in the future.

With the expected "Plaza 66" on the Baijingfang Lane land parcel, the city's central status is difficult to shake.

Many tourists believe that the city center of Hangzhou should be on the lakeside.

There is the West Lake, a musical fountain, the largest Apple experience store in Asia, a dazzling array of merchandise and all kinds of tempting food.

Entrepreneurs say that Qianjiang New Town is the seat of the city government and the CBD of Hangzhou, where high-end office buildings and well-known enterprises gather. It is also synonymous with the "Qiantang River Era".

In 2022, Qianjiang Century City, the main venue for the Asian Games, will become the focus of the world's attention. By then, maybe Qianjiang Century City will also jump out to compete for the status of "city center".

At present, every urban district in Hangzhou has its own center.

For example, the center of Xiacheng District is Wulin Square and West Lake Cultural Square, the center of Shangcheng District is Wushan Square, the center of Xihu District is Huanglong, the center of Jianggan District is Qingchun Square, the center of Gongshu District is Canal Square, etc.

Each has its own popularity.
