What travelers say:

To define a village, it is usually necessary to indicate the city and town, but Jiangcun has only two words in the prefix China. From Shanghai, drive for more than an hour, the first traffic light down the highway exit left, you can see the four big-character archway of "China Jiangcun", which is the entrance of Jiangcun. Another name of Jiangcun is Kaixianbow Village, which belongs to Qidu Town, Wujiang District, Suzhou City. It is about 50 kilometers away from the center of Suzhou City and about 120 kilometers away from the center of Shanghai. There is a small Qinghe in the village that is east-west and shaped like a bow. The village is split into two natural villages in the north and south, such as a bow that opens the strings. Therefore, the name is given. Kaixianbong Village is the first place for sociologist Fei Xiaotong to engage in anthropological field research. In his "Jiangcun Newsletter" and the English version of his doctoral thesis "Life of Chinese Peasants", he gave the village a academic name - Jiangcun Village, and Jiangcun went to the world. It has become a "holy place" for Chinese sociology research and one of the windows for the world to understand Chinese society. It is obvious that Jiangcun's fame far exceeds its real name Kaixianbow Village. In the village, "Kaixingbow Village" is not common, but "Jiangcun" can be seen everywhere. Fei Xiaotong Jiangcun Memorial Hall is a landmark building in the village, Jiangcun Market is a farmer's market, Jiangcun Cultural Auditorium is transformed by the old warehouse, and even the roadside shop is hung with the signboard of "Jiangcun Supermarket" and "Jiangcun Farm Restaurant". So a few years ago, Liu Haoxing, a sociology professor at Fudan University, could not find Kaixianbow Village on mobile phone navigation, but once input "Jiangcun", the navigation immediately recognized success. But returning to the specific life, the name of Kaixianbow Village was frequently mentioned by villagers: "The village next door has developed better, and we are envious of Kaixianbow Village... There are quite a lot of people to visit, but we stay at most two hours in Kaixianbow Village, and the consumption goes to the village next door. The names Jiangcun and Kaixianbow Village are like the face and inner son of this village, representing the village under two perspectives, external and internal. Under the dual gaze, this sample village of rural development in China is trying to answer the new problems encountered in the revitalization of rural areas in Jiangnan~According to the latest release of the "Yangtze Delta Ecological Green Integrated Development Demonstration Zone Jiangnan Water Town Ecological Culture Tourism Circle Construction for Three Years (2021-2023)" Action plan, by 2025, China · Jiangcun will complete the comprehensive improvement demonstration project, including shaping the old Jiangcun, Laojiang Village, Xinjiang Village ip, creating a cultural research and study tour path that integrates Jiangcun culture and highlights Jiangcun characteristics, and creating 3 characteristic theme parks, ted lecture halls, innovation workshops, Academic center, Jiangcun living room and other projects, to create a world-class rural revitalization model of "beauty and common".
