Suzhou, the cradle of Wu Culture, is a city with a history of more than 2,500 years, tracing back to the later Shang Dynasty. While talking about Suzhou, the old saying mentions it as a “Paradise on the Earth” or the "East Venice of the World”, referring to its natural beauty, classical gardens, bridges and waters, traditional operas and soft dialect tone.
The city is well-known to its classical gardens, in which two of them have been listed as the great world heritage sites. Situated in the downstream of Yangtze River Drainage Basin and Yangtze River Delta economic zone, Suzhou has been a national tourist center and has attracted visitors around the world.
Not just for its natural beauty, its splendid history, or its cultural heritage, Suzhou’s economy represents the highest growth and the fastest expansion in the past 5-10 years in the region and in China. The city’ GDP has surpassed its any other neighbor cities except Shanghai in the region and more than 80 of the world top 500 corporations listed on the Fortune have set their offices in the town.

Jiangsu's municipal subway systems
|
| Posted by nickistin, 2013-04-16 23:37:24 |
Jiangsu has four cities that own their subway systems, calling metro rail network, but these systems have not been completed.
The Nanjing Metro has three lines: Line 1, 2 and 3, operated by the Nanjing Metro Company and more lines are under planning. Line 1 opened to public in September 2005 after five years of construction. In 2010, the south extension of Line 1 and the new metro Line 2 became available. Line 2 was designed to provide service of 500,000 passengers a day. More are under construction now. Still remembering in 2010 there were a lot of construction sites on streets around its downtown Xinjiekou arer. Totally Nanjing currently has 85km of metro rail network, with plans to increase this to a couple of hundred km by 2030.
