Qianjiang New City or Hangzhou CBD (杭州CBD, Hángzhōu CBD)[1] is a central business district situated in the west bank of Qiantang River in downtown Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. Construction work of this district began in 2007, being a significant part of Hangzhou's resolution of expansion from "West-Lake-centered era" to "Qiantang-River-centered era".[2] It is currently one of two central business districts and the financial district of Hangzhou city.

Iconic architecture in the district includes the heaven-and-earth Civic Center, the golden-egg-shaped International Expo Center, the moon-shaped Grand Theater, and the City Balcony and Raffles City shopping mall.[3] The Civic Center has been the main location for Hangzhou's municipal government since 2016.
