7 days and 6 nights’ free accommodation for seeking employment

Hangzhou's "Qinghe Youth Hostel" policy offers 7-day free stays and career support to attract talents. Part of the "Spring Rain Plan", it provides nearly 3,000 rooms, serving 150,000+ youths. Digital systems streamline applications, while partnerships enable resume printing, workspace sharing, and subsidized housing. This full-cycle support cuts job-seeking costs and radiates urban warmth, fueling Hangzhou's 2-million population surge in three years.(Photo provided to CYD)
