BEIJING, Aug. 13, 2025 /CNW/ -- From Aug. 6 to 7, the first stop of the "See China Together" Zhejiang Tour brought participants to Quzhou, beginning a journey to explore the city's push for shared prosperity across its urban neighborhoods and rural villages, trace the historical and cultural roots of this ancient settlement, and witness examples of Chinese modernization taking shape.
The delegation included journalists from 11 countries — among them Spain, South Korea, Pakistan, Iceland and Thailand — along with nearly 70 multilingual reporters and editors from CGTN.

Hullo Celebrates Two Years of Connecting Coasts, Fueled by 40% Year-Over-Year Growth in Passengers
NANAIMO, BC and VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 14, 2025 /CNW/ - Two years after welcoming its first passengers on August 16, 2023, Hullo is celebrating a significant milestone, marking its second anniversary of transforming travel across the Georgia Strait. With an impressive 40% year-over-year growth, the fast-ferry service has cemented its role in making life easier and more connected for British Columbians. Hullo's mission from day one was to simplify travel, save people time, and give them the freedom to enjoy both sides of the coast. "Every day, we see how we're helping people see family and friends more often and have new adventures," says Sekhar Angepat, Founder and Chief Revenue Officer at Hullo. "Our goal wasn't to simply redistribute travellers from traditional services, but to grow the entire travel market. By creating new possibilities like same-day event trips, we're enabling journeys that people simply weren't making before. The stories we hear from our passengers confirm we're on the right track." The service has unlocked a variety of travel possibilities, changing the way people think about crossing the Strait. For eventgoers, Hullo has become a game-changer. With over 170 late-night event sailings to date, individuals can now catch their favourite sports teams and concerts in the city and travel back in comfort the same night, saving on costly hotel stays. Hullo's downtown-to-downtown connectivity has opened up new possibilities for a wide range of British Columbians. It has become a vital new option for over 50,000 families, enabling spontaneous, same-day adventures and making it even easier to connect with loved ones more frequently. This accessibility is also a key benefit for seniors seeking a seamless travel option and for hybrid workers who now have the freedom of island life with a fast, affordable link to their downtown offices. Furthermore, by integrating with local transit and TransLink, Hullo helps all riders reach their final destinations, including Vancouver International Airport (YVR), without the expense and hassle of a personal vehicle. Arriving in Nanaimo is just as easy, with on-site access to public transit, a complimentary Hullo shuttle bus, rental cars, bike share, and ride-hailing services like Uber now available. "The stories we hear from our passengers are the true measure of our success," says Ryan Dermody, Interim CEO. "When we hear about a grandmother being able to take her grandkids to the aquarium for a quick day trip, or professionals redefining their work week, we know we're making a real difference in people's lives every day. We're incredibly proud of the role we play in connecting communities and are more committed than ever to improving and expanding our service." Two years in, Hullo's reliability is clear. Since launch, the company has operated more than 95% of its planned sailings, and since September 2024, 90% of departures have gone out within 5 minutes. The company is building on this momentum as it continues to refine its operations for customers. Hullo is a modern, fast-ferry service providing a crucial link between Downtown Vancouver and Nanaimo. With a focus on speed, comfort, and reliability, Hullo is committed to transforming the way people travel across the Salish Sea.

Mountaineers set off on foot to retrieve the body of a Chinese climber who died on K2
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — A team of mountaineers set off on foot Thursday to recover the body of a Chinese climber from the world's second-highest peak after bad weather grounded helicopter flights, a Pakistani official said. Guan Jing was struck by falling rocks on Tuesday while descending K2, a day after reaching its summit with a group in Pakistan's Gilgit-Baltistan region. She died on the mountain, known for its treacherous slopes, frequent rockfalls, and extreme weather conditions, according to Faizullah Faraq, a local government spokesperson. He said her body lies between 100 and 150 meters (328 to 492 feet) above the advanced base camp at about 5,400 meters (17,716 feet) and has not yet been retrieved. K2 rises 8,611 meters (28,251 feet) above sea level and is widely regarded as one of the most difficult and dangerous peaks to climb, with a far higher fatality rate than Mount Everest. 'The weather is currently not suitable for a helicopter flight, which is why the body has not yet been brought down' from the mountain, he said. Faraq said Jing was part of an expedition organized by a Nepali company. He said a Nepali Sherpa, Jangbu, was sent on Wednesday to recover her body but was injured on the way and stranded. The Nepali was later rescued by helicopter and transferred to Skardu Hospital, where he is receiving medical treatment. Deadly incidents are common on K2, where steep gradients, thin air and sudden storms can turn even routine descents into life-threatening ordeals. The latest death comes two weeks after German mountaineer and Olympic gold medalist, Laura Dahlmeier, died while attempting another peak in the region. Efforts to retrieve her body were abandoned when Dahlmeier's family informed authorities that she had stated that no one should risk their life to recover her body if she dies in any accident.
