On the whole, Suzhou has a part of Shanghai's speed and a part of Chengdu's temperament, but from these two aspects, there is no way to really compare with these two cities. Some people say that Shanghai is saturated with industrial talents. Practically speaking, it is clear at a glance whether the relationship between trends and individuals is greater than that between reality and individuals. Not to the point where stamping can affect an industry. Talk less about trends, talk about mistakes, be based on the present and pay attention to trends.
To sum up, Suzhou is a truly livable city. There is only one viaduct between the low old city and the tall buildings. Many times, friends from other places can't understand the so-called downtown concept in Suzhou. As a Suzhou native, I can't tell where the downtown area is, but this is the charm of Suzhou. You can choose several different living environments and states in the same city.
In a short time, the status of GDP monster in Suzhou prefecture-level cities cannot be shaken. Prices are really not high in front of economic rankings. House prices have been untenable in recent years, but you can choose more if you spend more than half an hour on the way to work.
The development trend of a city will certainly not have much impact on individuals after five years and ten years. If you are from the province and have the ability yourself, then I advise you to stay in Suzhou, which is the best in the province.
If you are a foreigner, it depends on your major direction, whether it is compatible with Suzhou's industrial structure, and whether there is a good employment environment and entrepreneurial environment here. Suzhou's private economy is very developed, and the textile industry and photovoltaic industry are very strong. In recent years, the government has vigorously expanded the layout of high-tech industries, and nano-industries and new materials have also developed well.
