In ancient times known as "Gusu", Suzhou sits in Jiangsu Province in eastern China. Today, this city marries its rich heritage with tomorrow’s tech scene.
At the heart of modern Suzhou lies the Suzhou Industrial Park, a hub for hundreds of global firms and innovative startups. Since its launch in the 1990s, SIP has become a model for sustainable urban development, blending green spaces with co-working hubs and research labs.
Step back in time at the millennium-old Hanshan Temple and the city’s UNESCO-listed classical gardens. Wander along willow-lined canals, join a twilight lantern tour, or tune in to local folk performances that echo centuries of Zen tranquility.
For young travelers and digital nomads, Suzhou offers immersive experiences—from silk-making workshops to electric boat rides on the Grand Canal. With affordable co-living spaces and high-speed internet, it’s never been easier to live, work, and wander in this timeless city.
