Industrial parks in Xinwu district

Most may think that high-tech industrial parks might be a rather bleak and sterile affair. Not so, for the parks in Xinwu district. Apart from the numerous international businesses, many of the roads in the area, especially Linghu Avenue, are lined with cherry trees. The Taihu International Science and Technology Park even has its own cherry forest.

"The cherry blossoms here are an exotic contrast to the modern architecture," said a park employee.
