City has more than just industry

Zhangjiagang has made great progress in its cultural industry through a series of events designed to enrich the lives of locals through the arts.

Hosted by the local government, the Yangtze River Culture and Art Festival is one of the major cultural projects the city has initiated in recent years, and it serves as a platform for cultural exchanges.

It helps to develop the city's cultural brand by blending Zhangjiagang's local culture with other regional cultures along the Yangtze River, local officials said.
