The Kunshan Agriculture Demonstration Zone, Jiangsu province, occupying an area of 17 square kilometers, has attracted more than 50 modern agricultural enterprises, such as the Flora Expo Garden, Datang Ecological Garden, Crocodile Valley and Jingu Farm.

Enjoying rich agricultural tourism resources, the zone was designated by the National Tourism Administration as one of the first batch of national agricultural tourism demonstration areas.

Datang Ecological Garden

Combining ecology, scientific education, leisure, entertainment and business, Datang Ecological Garden has an agriculture sightseeing area including fruit and flower planting, an ecological restaurant, a teahouse and an agriculture museum, all of which create a "botanic garden" where people can escape from the modern city and get close to nature.

Datang Ecological Garden in Qiandeng is well-positioned to take in tired souls seeking healing. At the garden, thatched lodges and archaic buildings are set between blue sky and lush trees. Clear water attracts birds, which are often seen paddling in shallow waters. Railed corridors and sheltered stands along the ponds give anglers a chance to fish. A glass restaurant offers picturesque views and delicious meals and is supplied by a hydroponic nursery which produces fruits and vegetables all year round.
