Pingjiang Historical and Cultural District is located in the northeast corner of the ancient city of Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. It is the most typical and complete historical and cultural protection area in Suzhou to date. It has a long history of more than 2,500 years and is known as the "Jiangnan Cultural Museum without Walls". For thousands of years, this place has not only maintained the style of Jiangnan, but also has distinct Chinese symbols such as Kunqu opera, Pingtan, Su embroidery, and woodblock New Year paintings.
"Suzhou has done a good job in the combination of tradition and modernity. It not only has historical and cultural heritage, but also high-tech innovation and high-quality development, representing the future development direction." On July 6, 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Pingjiang Historical and Cultural District, listened in detail to the protection of Suzhou Ancient City and the protection, repair and utilization of Pingjiang Historical and Cultural District, walked to observe the style of the ancient street, watched Suzhou embroidery production, and experienced the printing of New Year pictures. Xi Jinping said that Pingjiang Historical and Cultural District is a valuable asset for inheriting and promoting the excellent traditional Chinese culture and strengthening the construction of socialist spiritual civilization. It must be protected, explored and used well. It must not only be passed on in material form, but also in the heart.
