Yonglian Village, Jiangsu Province（江蘇省永聯村）

Thirty years ago, Yonglian was a poor village which could not be found on the map of Suzhou, its larger neigbor. There were only 300-400 residents in the village, with an average annual income of 68 yuan (US$11.2) per person. Now the village has become a modern, rich village boasting idyllic scenery, agricultural culture, country food and leisure activities.
