Referring to the new charm of Xiangcheng, Ms. Tao Keyan, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Suzhou Xiangcheng Ecological Cultural Tourism Group, told the author eloquently.
Inherit 2,500 years of history
Write the glory of the new era of Xiangcheng
Speaking of Xiangcheng, it is still named after Wu Zixu, the minister of Wu State in the Spring and Autumn Period 2,500 years ago, on the shore of Yangcheng Lake, "tasted water in the soil, like heaven and law, and wanted to build a city".
Xiangcheng is located in the geographical center of Suzhou City, adjacent to Suzhou Industrial Park and Kunshan in the east, Gusu District in the south, Suzhou High-tech Zone and Wuxi High-tech Zone in the west, and Changshu City in the north. Looking back at the humanistic veins of Xiangcheng, it not only gave birth to historical celebrities such as Shen Zhou, the representative of the Wumen painting school, and Feng Menglong, the father of popular literature, but also the old place of the soldier saint Sun Wu, the hermitage of the merchant saint Fan Li, and the place where the "four uniques" of poetry, calligraphy and painting were born. Xiangcheng District is China's "hometown of folk crafts", and currently has 57 items in 12 categories on the representative list of intangible cultural heritage. Xiangcheng Ecological Cultural Tourism Group adheres to the "craftsman spirit" and undertakes the construction and operation of 8 scenic spots, including Fengmenglong Village, Yangcheng Lake (Xiaojing) International Handicraft Village, Yangcheng Lake Lotus Island, and Suzhou Imperial Kiln Brick Museum, so that cultural soft power can become a hard support for economic development and empower urban development.

In addition, Xiangcheng is also exceptionally rich in ecological resources. The water area accounts for 40% of the total area of the whole area, which originates from the two major freshwater lakes of Taihu Lake and Yangcheng Lake in the Yangtze River Delta, and is also the first stop of the Grand Canal flowing through Suzhou. In addition, Xiangcheng also has 3,000 acres of Lotus Pond Moonlight Wetland Park, 2,000 acres of Suzhou (China) Flower and Botanical Garden, 800 acres of Shengze Lake Yueji Garden, and is planning a 36.63 square kilometers of Central Park. In recent years, Xiangcheng Ecological Cultural Tourism Group has taken ecology as the background, implemented the new development concept completely, accurately and comprehensively, adhered to the path of high-quality green development with ecological priority, continuously improved the livable quality of Xiangcheng, and strived to hand over the ecological answer sheet of "Beautiful Xiangcheng".

Thanks to its natural geographical location and a variety of high-quality resources, the relationship between Shanghai and Suzhou has become closer and closer. In recent years, Xiangcheng Ecological Cultural Tourism Group has grasped the national strategy of Yangtze River Delta integration, continued to amplify the effect of "Shanghai and Suzhou City", planned and positioned in accordance with the highest level at home and abroad, always adhered to high standards, pursued high quality, and strived to create high-quality products.

High-speed rail "half-hour commuting circle"
Xiangcheng gives the preferred option of "Shanghai and Suzhou City".
Shanghai and Suzhou are geographically adjacent and close to each other. With the deepening of the integration of the Yangtze River Delta, the "Shanghai-Suzhou city" effect has been continuously implemented and deepened, so that the "city-to-city" between Shanghai and Suzhou has entered the fast lane.
Referring to the advantages of Suzhou Xiangcheng, Tao Keyan said that the hub advantage of "Suzhou North High-speed Railway Station" makes Xiangcheng stand out, Suzhou North Railway Station is located in the core area of Xiangcheng, and it only takes 23 minutes to reach Shanghai Hongqiao at the earliest. In recent years, the real estate market in Xiangcheng has continued to improve steadily, and has gradually become the "preferred option" in Shanghai's "half-hour commuting circle", which is a sector that superimposes multiple strategic advantages. Nowadays, more and more young people choose to work in Shanghai and settle in Suzhou, especially near the Suzhou North Railway Station of the high-speed railway. Everyone is particularly recognized for living in Suzhou Xiangcheng and working in Shanghai. In particular, the strategy of monthly and time-counting tickets launched by Shanghai Hongqiao Station and Suzhou North Railway Station reflects the inclusiveness of Suzhou Xiangcheng and also brings benefits to commuters.
In fact, Xiangcheng Ecological Cultural Tourism Group has taken the lead in carrying out many explorations for the "Shanghai Soviet Union". In recent years, relying on the advantages of Zone B of Shanghai Hongqiao Suzhou (Xiangcheng) Digital Economy Innovation Park, we have accelerated the introduction of high-quality cultural and tourism enterprises and projects in Shanghai and the Yangtze River Delta to settle in Xiangcheng to help the high-quality development of Xiangcheng District. During the Spring Festival this year, Xiangcheng Ecological Cultural Tourism Group held a "Shanghai Connection, Spend the 'Crisp' Year" Shanghai Cultural Tourism Market Exchange and Matchmaking Meeting in the flagship store of Duoyun Academy, and the scenic spots and hotels of Xiangcheng Ecological Cultural Tourism Group launched a variety of activities around "folk culture", "intangible cultural heritage" and "leisure and vacation" during the Spring Festival, and issued 5,000 round-trip ferry tickets, hotel catering and accommodation coupons to Lotus Island for the Shanghai market, and innovatively provided warm and thoughtful services, so that Shanghai citizens and friends can feel the strong "Soviet style". "New Year's flavor. In the future, Xiangcheng Ecological Cultural Tourism Group will continue to strengthen comprehensive cooperation with Shanghai state-owned enterprises, leading enterprises, universities, cultural and tourism operation institutions, human resources institutions, trading companies, health care enterprises, etc., give full play to Shanghai's advantages in science and technology, talents and markets, and adhere to high-starting point planning, high-standard construction and high-efficiency operation projects.
"Houlang Xiangcheng" stands bravely at the head of the tide
The future of livable Xiangcheng is promising
As a "back wave" urban area with 23 years of establishment, Xiangcheng has been striving for the upper reaches and striving to catch up with the "front wave". Tao Keyan said that as a "youth" in the prime of life, in addition to digging deep into the thousand-year-old historical humanities and ecological tourism resources, Xiangcheng also actively responded to the call of the country, actively developed new quality productivity, and promoted the tide of new industrialization. Smart construction is in full swing, the rise of the "smart driving city" is accelerating, digital finance is striving for innovation, and advanced materials are developing rapidly...... For more than 20 years since the establishment of the district, Xiangcheng has always been brave in exploration, and has been ahead in all aspects, and its practices are also relatively advanced.
In order to better undertake the overflow of high-quality living needs in Shanghai, the supporting facilities of Xiangcheng District and even the whole of Suzhou are becoming more and more perfect. Taking the series of activities of "Shanghai and Suzhou City, Livable Xiangcheng" held in Hongqiao Xiangcheng Building on April 13 as an example, 24 participating real estate projects took the lead in unveiling, showing diversified real estate projects to Shanghai, providing convenient channels for home buyers and attracting all kinds of people to buy homes in Su'an.
Tao Keyan said that the government at all levels of Xiangcheng keenly seized the opportunity of the Shanghai and Suzhou city, the layout in advance, and the cooperation of various departments and fields, launched the real estate promotion activities for Shanghai, we invited the real estate industry, well-known intermediaries, travel agencies to work together to present, it can be said that the perfect presentation of this activity is not a single industry can be promoted, but need to work together in many ways to complete, although the activity is short and fine, but we strive to let Shanghai feel the sincerity of Suzhou Xiangcheng, see the advantages of Xiangcheng.
"In fact, before the event, we have made sufficient preparations, including the foreshadowing of the overall work in the early stage, as well as the research and judgment of the Shanghai market. As the only state-owned company with first-class development qualification in Xiangcheng District, Suzhou City, Xiangcheng Ecological Cultural Tourism Group also contributed three high-quality real estate projects to participate in the series of activities of "Shanghai and Suzhou City, Livable Xiangcheng" held on April 13 to help the promotion activity. Tao Keyan further said.
Towards the end of the interview, the author asked Tao Keyan to give a score to the launching ceremony of the "Shanghai and Suzhou City, Livable City" series of activities. Tao Keyan said: "Xiangcheng District can take the lead in grasping the current market changes and customer needs, and dare to take the first step, from this point I must first give a high score." For the follow-up continuous landing, we still have to continue to dig deep into the market demand in Shanghai, and more carefully understand the buyers' preferences and needs, I can't score this work for the time being, but through everyone's continuous efforts, I believe that we will eventually hand over a good report card.
