Changshu's economic development is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. From entering Changshu, although the road is also rural, both sides of the highway are the same as those along Jiading in Shanghai and Taicang in Jiangsu, with many factories and almost no farmland to be seen. The famous "Bosden" down jacket company is located in Changshu, about 20 kilometers away from the city. It is said that Changshu has the largest wholesale clothing market in the country, and most of the clothing here is sold to Russia.

In the urban area of Changshu, Hualian commercial buildings and six-storey large department stores that are generally only available in larger cities are also found in this county, and there are several large professional shopping malls next to Changshu No. 1 Department Store and Hualian Commercial Building. Although the things in the First Department Store are ridiculously expensive in my opinion, and some of the prices are about the same as those in the hotel, the mall is still very popular.

Shanghu Scenic Area. Shanghu Lake is the largest lake I have seen so far, the lake surface has more than 12,000 acres, the lakeside road on both sides is neat camphor trees, through the lake embankment on the willow peach intersperse, very pleasant.
