What should a future community look like? Lucy, a young lady from Slovakia, has her own imagination about it.

As a content curator, Lucy's daily life is about recording what she sees in China through her lens. Like all young people, she likes sharing and loves life. The best living environment in her heart should be clean, convenient, and there are also many interesting people together.

So Lucy comes to the Guashan Future Community in Hangzhou to find out. Apart from the clean and tidy rooms and conveniences brought by technologies, what amazes Lucy most is that the community sets up a lot of clubs. There are gyms, pet parks, and even cosplay clubs. Just as the community commentator introduces, they are aimed at "making the 'empty-nest youth' get out of their "home-staying" lives and encouraging everyone to discover the beauty of life".

“Just as there is paradise in heaven, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou on earth”. Lucy can’t agree more with this saying that praises Hangzhou. After exploring the future community, Lucy has more understanding about Hangzhou, namely, all the technological progress and economic development that will be utilized to improve the living quality of urban residents. She can truly feel that Hangzhou is becoming a happier home. Gradually, she has a sense of belonging. She hopes to record all this with her camera so that more people can see Chinese development, the changes of its city, and increasingly better lives.
