Kunshan, Manufacturing hub in Suzhou, China

Kunshan spans across a network of waterways extending over 1000 kilometers, connected through an intricate system of pumps and gates to manage water flow.

The region transformed from Lou County during the Qin dynasty to its current status as a county-level city in 1989, marking centuries of administrative evolution.

Kunshan maintains its position as the birthplace of Kunqu opera, representing an essential form of traditional Chinese theatrical performance dating back several centuries.

The city contains eleven major administrative divisions, including Yushan Town as its center, with Huaqiao and Zhouzhuang serving different economic functions.

Kunshan operates more than 100 polders throughout its territory, implementing nature-based solutions for managing stormwater and preventing floods in urban areas.
