On October 27, the Shunshan Town project, classified as one of the 240 key projects of Jiangsu province for high-quality development of beautiful countryside, commenced construction officially.

The project is part of Changzhou’s implementation of the Rural Revitalization Strategy put forward during the 19th CPC National Congress. It is also Changzhou’s first new-type industry-based countryside in the practice of promoting the city’s three-year action plan for cultural tourism industry.

Carried out by Jiangsu Jiuzhou Investment Group, the project has a total investment of 3 billion yuan and an area of 80 hectares,

Situated in the bordering area of Changzhou, Wuxi and Jiangyin, the Shunshan Town is known as the place where Emperor Shun (c. 23rd century bce) and Prince Jizha (576-484 BC) fought the flood, participated in farming and spent the rest of their days. In the town there are the Shunguo, Qinwang and Fenghuang mountains, the Shunhe River and the old town of Jiaoxi. Near the town there are the provincial-level beautiful village of Moujia, the municipal-level beautiful village of Zhajia and the county-level beautiful village of Dingguohu. The area is home to more than 300,000 locals.

Combining culture and tourism on the basis of agriculture industry, Shunshan Town is oriented as a new-type industry-based town focusing on the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors. It is divided into the farming, industrial and wellness areas. In the first step, the three areas will cover about 17, 3 and 13 hectares respectively.

It is learned that Shunshan Town will build featured facilities for accommodation, transportation, entertainment, education, culture, sports, health and wellness. Catering to consumer demand in the new era, the town will fully demonstrate the new industries and business modes of circular, creative and high-tech agriculture, countryside life, culture and creativity, rural tourism, etc.

Started as a trading company, Jiuzhou Investment Group achieved leapfrog development in the real estate industry, and is now a successful investor in various areas. Liu Canfang, president of Jiuzhou Investment, said that the Group takes Shunshan Town as an innovative practice in balanced development of farming, livelihood and environment through the integration of agriculture, culture and tourism. With the objective of building a beautiful town with booming industries and prosperous communities, the Group will give full play to the value of countryside elements through new perspectives, striving to build the town into a demonstration program for beautiful countryside within three years.

The same day, Anderson Orthopaedic Clinic, Marriott International, MildGO Hotel and Chuangwei Culture Place signed strategic agreements with Jiuzhou Investment Group, respectively.
