Reporters can bypass media officers at the NPC to find out more about the delegation from Zhejiang. Information is simply a click away.

For the first time in the NPC history, a local delegation has launched its own website.

"We started the website to provide more news clues to reporters," said Xie Guoyi, media officer of the Zhejiang delegation.

"We thought of a plan for such a website for a long time and we tested it at the provincial people's congress earlier this year. It won praise from the media then."

Launched on Sunday, the night before the opening of the NPC session, the page could be linked from three main websites of Zhejiang province www.zjol.com.cn, www.zjrd.gov.cn and www.zjnetcom.com.

The media centers of NPC and the CPPCC launched their websites separately days before the sessions opened.
