In 2012 it had a GDP of 161.2 billion CNY, or around $17,000 per capita. Hangzhou's international airport,Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport,is located in western Xiaoshan, close to the mouth ofHangzhou Bay.The district is also at the center of one of China's local real estate booms, as the demand for newer, more upscale housing from China's growing middle class has led to an explosion in construction of new high-rise condominiums. In addition,Hangzhou Xiaoshan Sports Centreis also found in Xiaoshan.
