As Xiangcheng District of Suzhou City welcomes its 20th anniversary of foundation, the district has become a black horse in Yangtze River Delta in terms of Socialist Modernization.
Outside of Suzhou Northern Railway Station, one could have a taste of the district’s futuristic traffic with the cruising unmanned taxi and the first regularly operated 5G unmanned bus system in China.

In just over 4 years
The district Xiangcheng has built up
The whole industry chain of automatic driving
We have the privilege of short distance
to cooperate with our partners of the industrial chain
to make in-depth breakthroughs in autonomous driving
Behind the clustering of innovation is the advanced planning and scientific planning by Xiangcheng in the past 20 years. The district has taken a bold step to eliminate backward production capacity, focused on the development of three major industries: "big R&D, big culture and big health" while relying on the comparative advantages of location, transportation, ecology and space. The scale of the district’s new economy industry has grown, and so has its innovation capacity. In recent years, the Yangtze River Delta Institute of Advanced Materials has also settled here.
Cheng Xiaonong, Deputy Director, Yangtze River Delta Institute of Advanced Materials
Xiangcheng gave us a credit of over 600 million yuan
to purchase the equipment we need for R&D
This provides us with excellent conditions
for the initial construction and operation
In 2020, Xiangcheng's GDP and general public budget revenue will reach RMB 93 billion and RMB 13.630 billion respectively, an increase of 14.8 times and 53.9 times compared to 2001. Now, through advanced planning, the local area has achieved the implementation of four national strategies, and completed its transformation to a new highlight, accelerating Xiangcheng in the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta.
