Hangzhou IFC is a stunning architectural marvel located at the confluence of the Qiantang River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Spanning seven plots and offering approximately 836,000 square meters of space, it boasts breathtaking views and a strategic location. Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, the project draws inspiration from Hangzhou's rich cultural heritage, particularly the leno silk weaving technique, and embodies "seamless and integrated development."

A standout feature is the iconic footbridge that elegantly connects the River East and River West sites, enhancing the natural riverbank curves. The architectural façade, inspired by the Qiantang River's tidal changes, creates a dynamic and beautiful urban landscape. Together with the canal footbridge and Ferris Wheel, Hangzhou IFC forms a magnificent urban landmark, celebrating the harmony of nature and human ingenuity.
