Kunshan is located in the Yangtze River Delta, which is the most economically developed area in China. With Shanghai on the east and Suzhou on the west, it is the gateway of Jiangsu Province in the east. In 1989, Kunshan was established as a city. Covering a land mass of 927.68 square kilometers, Kunshan manages a registered population of 680,000, one state-level economic and technological development zone, three provincial-level development zones and ten administrative towns. In its prolonged history, Kunshan has developed a rich cultural legacy. It is the hometown of Gu Yanwu (a great thinker between Ming and Qing Dynasties), Zhu Bailu (a famous educator in Qing Dynasty), Gui Youguang (a renowned prose writer in Ming Dynasty) and Fei Junlong (an astronaut in China s Shenzhou Space Program). The city is also the birthplace of Kunqu Opera which is praised as the Father of Chinese Operas and a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Cultural Legacy of Humanity . Zhouzhuang is renowned as China s No.1 water town.
