## About Kunshan

A 'central garden' between Shanghai and Suzhou.
Because Zhouzhuang has become famous, attention has focused there. In fact, Jinxi and Qiandeng, also part of Kunshan, offer a more authentic taste of water-town life and remain 'undiscovered gems'. The Zhaoling Liangzhu Culture Site, known as 'China's earthen pyramid', is also located within Kunshan.
