Suzhou New District invested 3.4 billion yuan ($ 541 million) over the last three years for construction of Suzhou Embroidery town.

It was listed as one of the provincial characteristic towns in May 2017, and was selected as the pilot of a 2017 Chinese cultural tourism integration experimental zone in July.

Located in a Suzhou western ecological tourist resort called Zhenghu Street in Suzhou New Distict, the Suzhou Embroidery town covers an area of 3.8 square kilometers.

In order to show the integrated planning of the Su Embroidery town, Suzhou New District built an exhibition hall in Zhenghu Street’s Chinese Embroidery Art Gallery, the largest embroidery museum in China. The exhibition hall displays the models and rendering of the Su Embroidery town with software and other media. The exhibition area of the Chinese Embroidery Art Gallery has opened to the public.

Su Embroidery town insists on integrating production, daily life and ecology in its planning and design. The embroidery street will be built into a pedestrian street, relieving problems resulting from spontaneous construction such as uneven landscapes levels and insufficient supporting businesses. Water from Taihu Lake will be introduced into the embroidery street, creating a waterfront-view belt. Additionally, the embroidery street will establish exhibitions and industrial incubations to preserve the Su embroidery culture and promote industrial agglomeration. The south end of the embroidery street will built as a drawing room of the Su embroidery town for displays, business, public exposure and meetings.

The north part of the town will become a production area, while the south part, relying on Taihu Wetland Park, will have an “ecology” function. Continuation of protective development of the wetland resources is planned, as is provision of business, leisure and entertainment areas to attract new arrivals to settle down in the town.

The area running through the south and the north will be built into a series of infrastructures and recreation facilities, forming a complete living community.

The planning of the Su embroidery town, with the cores of tradition, regeneration and a focus on the future, will create an industrial integrated development belt and realize high-end industrial agglomeration.
