China’s “hometown of silkworm and silk” – Tongxiang

China silk city Tongxiang

Tongxiang people have made outstanding contributions to the commercialization of mulberry silk from the old self-use. In the 1980s, Tongxiang people were the first to sell silk to Japan, thus opening the commercial door of silk quilt. In recent years, the silk duvet industry in Tongxiang has developed rapidly. A large number of mulberry silk duvet enterprises have grown rapidly in Tongxiang, especially in zhouquan town. There are more than 230 silk quilt production enterprises with an annual output of more than 4.5 million silk quilts, and the annual output value of silk quilts has reached 1.4 billion yuan. In October 2010, it was named “China silk quilt production base” by China Textile Industry Association. Tongxiang is the hometown of silkworm and mulberry silk.

Where is Tongxiang?

The “Shanghai Hangzhou Suzhou” Golden Business District in the Yangtze River Delta can be regarded as a model of China’s regional economic belt, while Tongxiang, located in the hinterland of the Yangtze River Delta, is a hub of industrial clusters embedded in the economic belt: Zhouquan, the “first town of Chinese silk products,” hemp, the “famous town of Chinese home textile and cloth art,” the backyard of the “hometown of Chinese woolen sweaters” and Chongfu, a critical fur town in China, Wuzhen, the “millennium-old town of Jiangnan Water Town” (which brings nearly 5 million tourists to Tongxiang every year) – is an irreplaceable hot land for investment and a tourism paradise everyone yearns for – China Silk City, as the gateway landmark of the region, once launched, will shine in the Yangtze River Delta with the light of “global chief silk products trading platform.”

China silk city is located at the business portal of Tongxiang City, the intersection of commercial and trade administrative zone and foreign investment zone, close to the passenger transport center. Shanghai Hangzhou Expressway, Shanghai Hangzhou high-speed railway, national highway 320, and Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal run through the whole territory, convenient logistics, and transportation.
