A recent survey in east China's Zhejiang Province shows that the average daily leisure time of residents is over four hours, and men have more leisure time than women.

Zhejiang-based Business Daily reports that a survey made among 1,800 people between the ages of 20 and 65 shows that women only have less than 3 and half hours leisure time per day.

The newspaper also says that young people under the age of 30 have more leisure time than their middle-aged counterparts.

Watching TV, shopping and karaoke singing are common in people's free time.
