Hangzhou, the capital city of Zhejiang Province in eastern China, has submitted its bid for the 2022 Asian Games.
The Olympic Council of Asia, the sports-governing body of the region, will decide the host city of the 2022 games in Ashkhabad, Turkmenistan at its 34th congress on September 16.
If Hangzhou wins, it will be the third time that the games are held in a Chinese city, after Beijing in 1990 and Guangzhou in 2010.
Beijing was selected to host the 2022 winter Olympic Games last month.

Record-holders in China's movie market are on edge this summer as domestic movies threaten their box office glory.
The latest numbers show domestic live-action animation "Monster Hunt" was pushing 2 billion yuan, roughly 320 million U.S. dollars, in ticket sales, just short of the 2.4 billion yuan that earned U.S. action-racer "Furious 7" the top spot in April.
When "Furious 7" achieved the record, it almost doubled the 1.3 billion of previous holder "Avatar", leaving China's movie industry in awe of Hollywood.
But seeing the earning power of homegrown films such as "Monster Hunt", which tells the story of Huba, a monster on a mission to stop all-out war, has bolstered China's movie industry.
It's not alone in obtaining ticket sales that, not too long ago, domestic movies could only dream of.
"Monkey King: Hero is Back", an animated feature film, recently dethroned "Kung Fu Panda 2" to become the highest grossing animated film in China. Another big earner, "Jian Bing Man", made more than one billion yuan, even though it is the first work of director Dong Chengpeng.
The China Film Association attributes the achievement in large part to more new moviegoers, especially in small cities, and to the increase of investment in the movie industry.

中国东部浙江省省会杭州市已正式递交申办2022年亚运会的意向书。
亚洲体育管理机构亚奥理事会将于9月16日在土库曼斯坦阿什哈巴德举行的第34届代表大会上决定2022年亚运会举办城市。
如果杭州申办成功，将成为继北京（1990年）和广州（2010年）之后，第三个承办亚运会的中国城市。
上个月，北京获得了2022年冬奥会的举办权。

中国电影市场的票房记录保持者在今年夏天紧张不安，因为中国国产电影威胁到了他们的票房记录。
最新数据表明，国产真人动画电影《捉妖记》的票房已经突破20亿元（约3.2亿美元），仅次于四月份上映的美国赛车电影《速度与激情7》的24亿票房。
此前的票房记录保持者是收获13亿票房的《阿凡达》，而《速度与激情7》的票房几乎是《阿凡达》的两倍，这使中国电影业对好莱坞电影感到敬畏。
但是国产电影《捉妖记》的收益能力大大振奋了中国电影业，《捉妖记》讲述了想避免全面大战的小妖王胡巴的故事。
《捉妖记》并不是唯一一部获得票房成功的国产电影，不久之前这还只是国产电影的梦想。
动画电影《西游记之大圣归来》超越《功夫熊猫2》，成为中国最卖座的动画电影。另一部获得票房成功的电影是《煎饼侠》，虽然这是董成鹏第一次当导演，但这部电影目前的票房已经超过10亿元。
中国电影协会认为，取得这些成就的很大一部分原因是因为电影观众人数的增加，小城市的情况尤为明显，另外电影业投资的增加也是原因之一。
