Apple has posted a new video on its Chinese retail site, highlighting a mural covering the company's yet-to-be-opened Hangzhou outlet. The mural features a poem written about the city some 2,000 years ago. For Apple, the text was repainted by modern calligrapher Wang Dongling. The shop is due to open this Saturday, January 24.

Apple is planning to have five new Apple Stores open in the country by Chinese New Year, which falls on February 19. China has become increasingly important to the company's revenue; although many Chinese are still poor, the country has rising middle and upper classes, the former of which can newly afford some Apple products.
