杭州 (Hángzhōu)

W3C’s Advisory Committee (the AC) and Advisory Board (the AB) met in the Chinese city of Hangzhou.

There are no direct flights from San Francisco to Hangzhou (HGH), so I flew to Shanghai on China Eastern, took the maglev into town, and caught the Shanghai–Hangzhou high-speed railway to Hangzhou. The future is already here—it’s just not evenly distributed.

This was my second time visiting China. I last visited in 2013, when I went to for TPAC.

The meetings were held at 杭州 (Hángzhōu)花家山庄 (Huā Jiā Shān Zhuāng) near West Lake (西湖 (Xīhú)).
