Huzhou
City Overview
Huzhou, on the south shore of Lake Tai, is the birthplace of the "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" concept (Anji) — ecologically livable and beautiful. A home of writing brushes with a long silk and bamboo heritage, it thrives on B&Bs and rural tourism (Moganshan). Near Hangzhou, Shanghai and Suzhou, it anchors the Delta’s green-integration demonstration zone. Cost of living is below Shanghai/Hangzhou with a relaxed pace and mild climate.
