As the host of the Second World Internet Conference on Dec 16, Wuzhen town in Zhejiang province is in the spotlight. The past year has seen the town go hi-tech. In Wuzhen, you can now see smart bikes, Internet kiosks and hospitals, and you can also visit finance cafe or rural Taobao－cyber-platforms tailored to help local businesses.

These efforts are part of the town's bid to get onto the "smart" wagon, whether it with regard to tourism, administration or local livelihoods.
