Qianjiang New City (Chinese: 钱江新城; pinyin: Qiánjiāng Xīnchéng) or Hangzhou CBD (Chinese: 杭州CBD; pinyin: Hángzhōu CBD)[1] is a central business district situated in the west bank of Qiantang River in 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 golden-egg-structured International Conference Center, moon-shaped Hangzhou Grand Theater, and the City Balcony and Raffles City shopping mall.[3] Hangzhou municipal government moved from city center to Qianjiang New City in 2016.

Line 1, Line 2, Line 4, Line 7 and Line 9 of Hangzhou Metro are currently serving the area.
