Wu Culture Expo Park and the Suzhou government have reconstructed the Yuhe Bridge, connecting Hongshan town, Wuxi and Xiangcheng district. It will open to traffic next June.

The China Wu Culture Expo Park preserves the natural environment of the Wu civilization, which is 3,200 years old.

Rich Wu Yue culture heritage and primitive wetland farming empower this place with high protection value and development prospects.
