Huzhou, Prefecture-level city in northern Zhejiang, China

Located near Lake Tai, Huzhou spans 5,818 square kilometers and includes Wuxing and Nanxun districts along with three counties: Deqing, Changxing, and Anji.

The city started as Gucheng County in 248 BCE and received its current name in 602 CE, reflecting its connection to Lake Tai.

The manufacturing of silk and traditional ink brushes stands as two primary crafts that define the industrial legacy of Huzhou since ancient times.

The Huzhou railway station connects the city with Hangzhou and Shanghai through regular and high-speed trains, offering efficient transportation options.

The Lougang irrigation system, operating for over 2500 years, manages water from Lake Tai through an intricate network of canals and dikes.
