Changzhou, Industrial metropolis in Jiangsu, China

Changzhou extends over 4,375 square kilometers across five districts, including Jintan, Wujin, Xinbei, Tianning, and Zhonglou, with a population exceeding 4.7 million residents.

The Museum of Changzhou Intangible Heritage exhibits local crafts, including random stitch embroidery, bamboo combs, and paper-cutting techniques that represent regional traditions.

The transportation network includes Benniu Airport, high-speed rail connections to Shanghai and Beijing, plus a metro system that started operations in September 2019.

The China Dinosaurs Park combines paleontological exhibits with entertainment zones, featuring a museum of fossils and multiple recreational facilities for visitors.
