Abstract

As the capital city of Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou is famous as a cultural metropolis in China with a lengthy history. Since the broad market of short videos has created new opportunities for city image communication, the emerging way of “Learn about a city on TikTok” has highlighted the cultural significance of different cities. Therefore, this paper will take short videos about Hangzhou on TikTok as the research object, employing content analysis and cases study to investigate the attractions of popular short videos and then explore the role of overseas short videos in shaping the city image. According to the study, popular short videos fall into four main categories: knowledge-based, feeling-based, peculiarity-based and entertainment-based. Based on the study of the characteristics of popular videos, this paper focuses on how to construct city images on overseas short video platforms and proposed corresponding solutions, including the clarification of the positioning of the city, the creation of representative visual symbols, the establishment of a knowledgeable database, and the integration of cultural resources.
