Hangzhou is a veritable city of innovation and entrepreneurship. It is understood that the growth rate of entrepreneurial projects in Hangzhou has ranked first among mainland cities for four consecutive years.

This is a painting activity that does not require any painting foundation and can relieve stress and heal. Gradually, he became fascinated by this unique and niche field, and successfully passed the CZT Asia's 7th Certified Tangle Painting Teacher and Japanese Harmony Pastel Certified Teacher exams.
He opened a temporary studio in Taiwan in June this year, but he also began to worry that there was no larger platform to expand his business. "I went to the Maker base in Taiwan to consult and apply for funding and subsidies. Most of them were For loans or company R&D subsidies, the companies that apply are all large enterprises. "After traveling between Taiwan and Mainland China for several years, Robin said frankly, "The Mainland provides more development opportunities for young people."

Under the "Taiwan 60", Taiwanese college students who come to Hangzhou to start a business and find employment can enjoy free subsidies of up to 200,000 yuan, and can apply for small guaranteed loans with an amount of no more than 300,000 yuan and a term of no more than 3 years. Robin thinks such a policy is very good, "This is a great benefit for young entrepreneurs. Hangzhou provides great support to young entrepreneurs. This is my first time coming to Hangzhou. I hope I can use my experience in the future." The studio is located here. "
