From April 18 to 20, 2025, the FEI CSI2 3rd Hangzhou (Tonglu) International Equestrian Show Jumping Competition drew attention and admiration as it concluded at the illustrious Hangzhou Equestrian Center. This event marked a significant milestone as it was China's first FEI CSI2 international show jumping competition of the year and one of the most influential equestrian gatherings of 2025.
