Suzhou New District, a modern economic engine rooted in Jiangsu Province's ancient history, is rapidly transforming into a global model for integrated technological and cultural development. With nearly 2,000 national high-tech enterprises now operating in the zone, the area has become a magnet for innovation-driven industries ranging from biotechnology to advanced manufacturing.
The district's strategic development plan extends beyond technology, revitalizing the ecological and cultural potential of Taihu Lake's shoreline. Local authorities report a 34% year-on-year increase in tourism revenue through 2025, driven by new heritage trails, water sports facilities, and smart tourism initiatives.
A new documentary series currently airing until February 12 offers global audiences an inside look at this development story. The programming highlights how Suzhou balances preservation of its 2,500-year-old canal city heritage with cutting-edge urban planning strategies.
"What makes this district unique is our ability to let history and progress amplify each other," said a representative from the Suzhou Industrial Park Administrative Committee. "Every new laboratory complex sits within walking distance of UNESCO-protected gardens."
