Kempinski Suzhou, with its prime location in the centre of the picturesque Suzhou Industrial Park, demonstrates what the city’s reputation is all about. A 20-minute drive from the downtown railway station, the hotel is surrounded by rippling lakes, lush gardens and lawns and is a top choice in Suzhou for guests seeking not only impeccable accommodation but also unforgettable memories. The 458-room hotel offers guest rooms from 48 sqm and suites from 80 sqm. It also boasts a luxurious, 1,914 sqm grand ballroom which can accommodate 1,200 people for a banquet, making it one of the largest ballrooms in the Yangtze River Delta. One of the wow factors of the hotel is the various sport facilities. Spread across two floors, the hotel’s 4,000 sqm health club features a 50 m indoor heated swimming pool, a luxurious Jacuzzi with a garden view and a recreation room for billiards, snooker and mah-jong. Guests can also rent bikes at the hotel and cycle in the park or along the lakeside without worrying about too much traffic. Even children are not left aside. They can choose to take swimming lessons or play on the lawn in the hotel’s garden. 2 Originally founded by German, the European luxury hotel brand has a German touch which is most noticeable in its food and beverage offerings. The hotel has four restaurants and bars and provides all kinds of delicacies, ranging from traditional Chinese cuisines like Cantonese and Huaiyang to international specialties. Among the dining options, one of the most exciting is the Paulaner Bräuhaus, popular for its fresh brewed German beer and authentic German cuisine. The two-floor outlet boasts views of Dushu Lake and the lush garden. Location Kempinski Hotel Suzhou, surrounded by the stunning natural scenery of Jinji Lake and Dushu Lake, is located in the commercial heart of modern Suzhou. 3 About Suzhou Suzhou is located in the southern part of the Jiangsu province close to the East of Taihu Lake. It is one of the main industrial centers in China and also an important tourism city. Suzhou ranges over 8488 square kilometers including surroundings. The population is close to 8 million. Suzhou is a historical city in China. Some people call here it the "East Venice" because of the rivers, the bridges and the condition of the people who live here. Suzhou Garden is the symbol of the buildings in Jiangnan. It's famous for its lakes, hills and the gardens. The traditional specialties are jasmine tea, Su-taste cakes, sandal fans, Song brocade, embroidery and drawn work. Established in 1994, Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP) is an important economic cooperation project between Chinese and Singapore government. SIP covers a total jurisdiction area of 288 sq km, among which 80 sq km area belongs to China-Singapore cooperative zone. As the eastern new township of Suzhou city, SIP has turned into a modern new township and CBD of Suzhou. 4 Accommodation Room and Suites Graceful allure abounds as you step into Kempinski Suzhou’s world of unique sophistication. Exquisite designs, materials and colours exude an aura of extravagance and glamour. Magnificent marble bathrooms, equally lavish in style and comfort, capture the essence of pure luxury. A choice of 458 rooms and suites in eight different categories astound even the most seasoned traveller. Our staff is dedicated to providing exceptional service anytime. Stunning views of the Jinji Lake and Dushu Lake invite guests to explore this vibrant metropolis. 5 Dining with Emotion Paulaner Bräuhaus A truly convivial atmosphere blends thirst and fine beer Paulaner Bräuhaus at Kempinski Hotel Suzhou first opened its doors in August 2009 and is destined to be the most popular German restaurant and micro-brewery for both visitors and locals in Suzhou. Our typical German interior décor and authentic Bavarian menu, combined with casual yet charming service, will definitely present an unforgettable experience for all guests. Enjoy live music entertainment while savouring real German specialties in a sophisticated Bavarian ambiance. Our master brewer brews our beers just as they have always been brewed - according to the Purity Law of 1516. Due to the short distance from the brewing vats to the glass, you can be sure our beer is always fresh from the tap. 6 About Paulaner Bräuhaus Natural, honest, Bavarian Paulaner brewhouses are at home all over the world. Whether in Munich, China, Cape Town or Singapore, they have become well-established institutions worldwide. Traditional but with a finger on the pulse of the times, Paulaner brewhouses provide a unique combination of centuries-old Bavarian traditions and a modern lifestyle. The restaurant represents a truly successful concept which gives guests a sense of Bavarian hospitality and an appreciation of the art of Munich-style brewing. Paulaner brewhouses bring together not just locals but people from all over the world. They meet to celebrate or out of nostalgia for their home country; they get together with their families or for a business appointment. The copper brew kettles with their shiny pipelines and fittings are an impressive eye-catcher. They reflect the hustle and bustle of the brewhouse and allow guests to experience the brewing process first-hand. Warm colours, lots of wood and lovingly designed decorations provide an inviting, homely atmosphere. All rooms are decorated individually with brewing utensils and deco elements from Munich and Bavaria. In the spacious main restaurant area, guests will find long benches and large tables which encourage lively socialising. Guests will find quieter corners in the side niches and adjoining rooms as well. Our guests can expect a unique gastronomical and cultural experience, both stylish and casual. 7 A Bite of China - Huaiyang Cuisine Step into Wang Hu Ge Chinese restaurant, located on the 3rd floor of Kempinski Suzhou, and find an elegant, tranquil, fashionable and comfortable environment. Add to that the beautiful panoramic view of Dushu Lake from a seat beside the window and one can enjoy fabulous food in a marvellous setting. Simon Wu, the Chinese master chef of Wang Hu Ge, has profound knowledge and experience of Huaiyang cuisine. When speaking of Huaiyang cuisine, the first thing many people think of is sweet and sour Mandarin fish, which is one of the most common dishes in Suzhou and on offer at Wang Hu Ge. This is a sweet and sour fish dish that features a squirrel-like presentation. The mouth of the fish is positioned open and its tail is bent upward to make it look like a squirrel. Chefs score the flesh into small squares, which when the whole fish is deep fried and cut open resemble fur. More interestingly, as the chef spreads the hot sauce on the deep fried fish in front of the diners, a sound like a squirrel barking can be heard. It is said this dish was Emperor Qian Long's (1736-1799) favourite. Chef Wu uses Mandarin fish from Taihu Lake as they have a firm yet tender texture. Shrimp, green beans and shelled corn are added to give more flavour and texture. The fish, with a golden yellow colour, is hot and crispy on the outside and warm and tender on the inside. The meat has a firm yet creamy texture, which gives it a natural sweetness. In addition to sweet and sour Mandarin fish, pagoda-shaped braised pork displays Chef Wu’s excellent cutting skills as he turns a piece of meat into thin slices. “The time and heat control during cooking is vital. For instance, braised pork should be 8 cooked exactly for 45 minutes and not one minute more, otherwise the meat and skin will separate”, said chef Wu. Huaiyang specialties are lightly flavoured, whether they combine sweet-and-sour or sweet-and-salty tastes. Soy sauce and spices are mild and used sparingly, although the use of rich-flavoured broth is extensive. An emphasis is also placed on using the freshest ingredients when serving seasonal food. Maybe that’s why so many people love Huaiyang cuisine, where superb knife skills are displayed along with fresh ingredients, variable seasonal food and mild flavours. One more plus? The gorgeous lake view from the Kempinski hotel. 9 Meeting in Style Stylish and sophisticated with classic design, Kempinski Hotel Suzhou is located in Suzhou Industrial Park and magnificently emerges before your very eyes after a short but scenic drive within a large estate which encompasses the 27-hole Jinji Lake International Golf Course, villas and Dushu Lake. The entire surroundings of this property are refreshingly lush with trees and picturesque landscaping providing an atmosphere of tranquillity and peace. Spread over 8,000 sqm, the hotel’s MICE area includes a pillar-less 1,850 sqm Grand Ballroom with ceilings that are 15 m in height, a pillar-less 630 sqm State Ballroom with ceilings that are 8 m in height, nine meeting rooms and over a garden that is over 4,000 sqm in size that sits beside the magnificent Dushu Lake. Kempinski Hotel Suzhou is one of the few hotels in the city that encourages guests to step out and appreciate the green scenery and enjoy the refreshing lake breeze. The business amenities feature an extensive array of equipment including LED backdrops, high speed Internet services, slide projectors, laser printers and a variety of secretarial services.

The trend continues with more than sixteen million rural residents move to urban area each year in what geographer David Harvey regards as ‘the largest mass migration the world has ever seen.’1 ZHONGJIE LIN The massive urbanization has resulted in unprecedented construction boom University of North Carolina and generated numerous new towns across the country. At the beginning of the at Charlotte twenty-first century, Chinese government announced that they would build 20 new cities each year in the next 20 years; therefore approximately 400 new cit- ies would emerge by 2020.2 These ambitious new town projects were not only created to house the swelling population, but also to sustain economic growth in the major cities they serve.
