The Zhejiang Chouzhou Bank Golden Bulls, formerly the Zhejiang Squirrels or Zhejiang Whirlwinds or Zhejiang Horses or Zhejiang Cyclones, are a Chinese professional basketball team which plays in the South Division of the Chinese Basketball Association. The club is based in Yiwu, Jinhua, Zhejiang, China. Its corporate sponsor is Zhejiang Chouzhou Commercial Bank, while its mascot is a Golden bull.

The team continued to be informally referred to as the Horses for quite some time, even after changing its nickname to Cyclones in 2001, largely because of the corporate sponsor during that era, Wanma (万马), whose name literally translates into English as ten thousand horses. The club plays most of its home games at the Yiwu Gymnasium but occasionally hosts contests at other locations in Zhejiang Province.
