Hangzhou City of China chosen to host 2022 Asian Games:

1. Hangzhou, capital city of Zhejiang Province in east China, was chosen by the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) to host the 2022 Asian Games. The decision was made at  the 34th Congress of Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) held in Ashkhabad, Turkmenistan.
