Aprofound dialogue between tradition and modernity is unfolding in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, through the seamless integration of technology and culture.

As a city that lives and breathes its history while simultaneously writing its next chapter, Wuxi is a place where the ancient and the ultramodern dance together.

For more than 2,500 years, the Grand Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has been the city's lifeblood. Stroll along its banks and watch a scene that has played out for centuries: barges gliding slowly past, their modern cargo contrasting with the ancient, gracefully arched stone bridges and restored merchant houses built during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).

Today, these historic buildings hum with new energy, housing artisan teahouses, boutique shops and cafes, proving the past is anything but static.

But turn your gaze, and a different Wuxi emerges. Across Taihu Lake, the skyline of Taihu New City is home to Wuxi's powerhouse of technological innovation, where companies are pioneering the Internet of Things, microchips and biotechnology.
