if you've ever imagined hailing a flying taxi or touring an expo in a self-driving car, then visit the 4th global digital trade expo — opening on sept 25 in hangzhou, capital of east china's zhejiang province — can do just that in its smart mobility zone.
this year, the zone is expanding to accommodate over 100 exhibitors across three sections — the low-altitude economy, green mobility and intelligent connectivity sections.
highlights include electric vertical take-off aircraft, drones from leading chinese makers and interactive experiences like a virtual flight simulator. on sept 24, a drone-and-helicopter light show will illuminate the qiantang river, hangzhou's mother river located next to the expo venue.
domestic and international automakers — including tesla, nio, xpeng and li auto — will show off their latest electric vehicles. tesla will offer free public test rides of its advanced driver-assistance system — its first open demo at a national-level expo in zhejiang.
alongside the tech showcase, expert forums will release the 2025 low-altitude economy development report, underscoring hangzhou's role as a national pilot city for the integration of ai and the low-altitude economy.
