Despite its small size, Tai'erzhuang in Shandong province is famed for its number of traditional temples, waterways and museums.
In recent years, there's been a quiet revival of interest in the Yangtze River Delta that covers cities like Wuxi, Shanghai and Suzhou.
Having exhausted its cheap labor and resources, which boosted the city's double-digit growth for nearly 30 years, Wuxi faced pressing needs of innovating its industrial technologies.
Wuxi's dramatic transformation is not limited to the economy but extends to many areas.
When Qian Jianfen talks about painted porcelain, her eyes glitter with excitement.
Throughout history, many cities have prospered because of their proximity to rivers. One such settlement is Wuxi, where the main river has greatly benefited the city's standing.
If visitors want get a feel for the traditional way of life of older local people, watching Wuxi Opera is probably a good choice.
During China's most important holiday, Spring Festival, many residents of Wuxi used to visit Chong'an Temple and have a bowl of wonton at Wangxingji, a time-honored restaurant.
One of my most memorable encounters in Wuxi was with a snake - and it involved several bites.
Wuxi is building a global sorority of cities.
