Are you looking for a special place for your wedding banquet that differs from traditional venues?

Established in 2011, Shangtian Gretna Green, located at Shangtian 6th Industrial Park, has been serving as a tourist resort complex for the past seven years. Here, newlyweds can enjoy a lovely lawn wedding.

Tourists can also bring their children here for a vacation, where they can stay in wooden cabins or a unique-style homestay, and relax by visiting Happy Farm, Rose Garden, and Family Playground.

Other than offering wedding services, Shangtian 6th Industrial Park is a demonstration zone for the national strategy of rural revitalization in Luoshe town, Wanma village, Huishan district, Wuxi.

Covering a 39,000-square-kilometer area, the park focuses on its primary industry of agriculture, and not only expanding its secondary industry of deep processing of agricultural products or food processing, but also developing a tertiary industry related to channel sales and marketing of agricultural products, as well as shopping, entertainment, and travelling.

So far, it has built a core area of 10,000 square kilometers that is primarily devoted to wedding services, tourism resorts, and dining options.

Meanwhile, the local village committee cooperates with enterprises and universities such as the Jiangnan Unviersity in Wuxi to develop an agri-tourism industry, setting up agricultural education and training courses programs.
