In 1989, the county was removed and established as a city, with 15 towns under its jurisdiction and famous parks such as the National Economic and Technological Development Zone and the Export Processing Zone. Results based on 2003 social statistics show that Kunshan continues to rank first in the ranking of the top 100 counties (cities) in the country announced by the National Bureau of Statistics.

In 2003, Kunshan's GDP reached 31.434 billion yuan, equivalent to US$6,290 per capita, fiscal revenue was 4.152 billion yuan, and total import and export volume was US$8.474 billion. GDP per capita, fiscal revenue per capita, and total import and export volume were and foreign direct investment ranked first among counties (cities) in the province.

Among them, there are 20 US$100 million projects, 215 US$30 million projects, 25 Fortune 500 investment projects, and 1,330 companies have started construction.

Urban development and changes in business structure: After entering the 1990s, Kunshan's urban economy entered a stage of rapid development. By the end of 2003, Kunshan's GDP exceeded 30 billion yuan, per capita GDP exceeded 6,000 US dollars, urban residents' per capita disposable income reached 11,128 yuan, and rural per capita disposable income reached 6,262 yuan.

It is particularly worth mentioning that Kunshan’s secondary industry has achieved considerable development in recent years relying on the large influx of foreign direct investment, and its proportion in the national economy has always been in a steadily rising stage; The influx of a large number of high-income migrants (according to data provided by the Kunshan Migrant Population Management Office, as of the end of November 2002, the number of migrants issued in Kunshan had reached 341,483), providing a strong foundation for the development of Kunshan's tertiary industry.

In addition, the development of urban economy itself has led to the expansion of urban space and changes in population distribution. Due to the rapid economic development, the original Renmin Road and Tinglin Road business districts can no longer meet the demand. The needs of commercial development; the municipal government formulated an overall strategy for the city's eastward expansion. With the formation of the new district and population migration, the two major supermarkets Bairunfa and Yichu Ailian entered, gradually forming Beimen Road and Bairunfa The functions of the three emerging business districts of Yi Chu Ailian and the traditional central business district centered on Renmin Road will be decomposed and replaced by the emerging business districts. Of course, this replacement is not destructive, but For the supplement and extension of the original business, the various functions of the original traditional business center, such as catering, leisure, and entertainment, will be divided into professional and concentrated business areas (such as the upcoming Central Park leisure bar, dining area, Starbucks coffee has settled in), thus forming a functional commercial area distributed in blocks with various emerging residential areas as points (Zhongyin Plaza on Bailu Road). At the same time, the original commercial center will continue to develop into a shopping, leisure, and entertainment center. An integrated and comprehensive themed central business district.

Analysis of consumption power level and commercial development trends: It should be said that the consumption power level of a city's residents is directly related to the scale and direction of commercial development in the region.

According to data on the average consumption expenditure of Kunshan residents from January to September 2003, the consumption power of Kunshan urban residents has reached a very high level, and all types of expenditures have shown varying degrees of growth year-on-year, showing that Kunshan citizens are strong consumption power.

The food expenditure is 2226 yuan, accounting for 33% of the total consumer expenditure, and the clothing expenditure is 384 yuan, of which the ready-made clothing expenditure accounts for 67.6% of the total proportion. The trend of ready-made clothing is obvious, indicating that Kunshan Citizens are gradually preferring the consumption of ready-made clothing, and their consumption concepts are becoming increasingly mature.

The general increase in various types of consumer spending indicates the enhancement of Kunshan’s private consumption power and the renewal of consumption concepts. A large number of businesses from other places are generally optimistic about Kunshan’s commercial development potential and have settled in Kunshan one after another.

The development of commerce and the acceleration of urbanization have also driven the development of Kunshan’s real estate market; currently, the sales rate of shops for sale has basically reached 100%, and the transfer and sublease rates of shops in mature locations have both reached 100%. Very low. With the continuous improvement of new urban areas, the shops launched are at a relatively low price. The comparison between their sales prices and rents basically follows a relatively rational return level, which reflects the relatively stable attitude of local investors and developers. Mature investment concepts and more prudent market judgments.

Currently, Taiwanese businessmen have invested in more than 1,000 companies in Kunshan, with a total investment of more than US$10 billion in the past 10 years. Last year, Taiwanese businessmen contributed more than US$200 million in tax revenue to Kunshan. Although Kunshan is part of Jiangsu, it is inseparable from Shanghai in terms of industry. This city has become a link in Shanghai's industrial chain for Taiwanese.

The influx of a large amount of Taiwanese capital has also led to the development of surrounding industries. According to statistics, there are currently more than 100,000 Taiwanese residents in Kunshan. Taiwanese businessmen and their families constitute an above-average group. The high-spending group has directly driven the development of Kunshan's retail, catering and service industries; at the same time, Taiwanese direct investment in the catering, retail and service industries has also improved the level of related local industries.

The current situation and development trend of personal investment in Kunshan: In recent years, in addition to attracting foreign investment, personal investment in Kunshan is also in full swing, showing an upward trend year by year. The reason is that the rapid economic development of the park and the implementation of the old city reconstruction plan have enabled some Kunshan people to complete their first primitive accumulation; while the increase in residents' income levels and the large influx of external funds have further promoted the growth of personal investment.

Aozao Noodles: Aozao Noodles come from Aozao Hall, located on Xiantinglin Road, and has a history of nearly a hundred years. Its predecessor was the "Tianxiang Restaurant" in Kunshan. Due to poor management, the owner abandoned the restaurant and left. The creditor, Mrs. Zhao San, handed it over to the embroiderer Chen Xiuying to manage it and changed its name to "Yan Fuxing". The ingenious Chen Xiuying is good at cooking exquisite snacks. She humbly solicits opinions and cooks carefully, which is indeed extraordinary. The small noodle shop with only three and a half tables was crowded with customers and became famous. After liberation, it was officially named "Aozao Pavilion" based on the meaning and homophony of "the secret lies on the stove". Aozao noodles are very popular among customers, first of all because of its unique soup noodles. It inherits the traditional method and boils the scales, gills, meat and mucus of herring, so it is extremely delicious. Secondly, the dumplings are exquisite. The fried fish is always made with herring, and the braised duck is cooked with "Kunshan hemp duck" and old soup, so it is fat but not greasy. What’s more, the noodles are processed into dragon whisker noodles from fine white flour, and when put into the pot, they are scooped out quickly to make them soft and hard. Aozao Noodles pays the most attention to "five heats in one, small ingredients to make soup". The so-called "five hots" are bowl hot, soup hot, oil hot, noodle hot, and dumpling hot. "Small ingredients for soup" means that you don't need to mix the soup in a big pot, but mix it according to what the guests use to maintain the original taste.

Wan San Ti: Wan San Ti came from the home of Shen Wansan, a modern rich man in Zhouzhuang. It is said that Shen Wansan, a wealthy man from the south of the Yangtze River, "has a banquet at home, and there must be crispy hooves." Wansanti is made from pig legs and seasoned. It is made in a large clay pot and simmered for a day and a night. The heat is very particular.

It should be moderately simmered and cooked until it is tender. If it is too tender, it will be brittle and lose its original shape. After steaming and stewing, the skin will be moist and the meat will be crispy. The soup will be red in color, fat but not greasy, with a moderate amount of salty and sweet. The meat will be crispy and melt in your mouth. After simmering, the skin turns red, and the way to eat it is even more special. From the two long bones that run through the entire pig's trotter, gently pull out a thin bone, and the hoof shape does not move at all. Using the bones as knives, the hoofs were smoothly cut open, allowing people to divide and eat them. Wan San Ho has become the main dish for Zhouzhuang people during festivals and wedding banquets, which means reunion. Tourists carry vacuum-packed fresh Wan San Ho.

Zhengyi Qingtuanzi: Qingtuanzi used to be a sacrifice for sweeping graves during the Qingming Festival in Jiangnan. The skin is mixed with glutinous rice and glutinous rice, and the filling is coarsely brewed. It is usually eaten by farmers. Legend has it that in the late Qing Dynasty, a woman named Zhao Hui in Zhengyi Town discovered that a kind of wheat straw was a good raw material for making green dumplings and green juice. The dumplings made with hand-ground powder were softer and more delicate, and did not stick to the teeth. It won't break, harden or discolor for several days. Later, Mrs. Chen Sibao, who owned a cake dumpling shop in the south of the bridge in the center of Zhengyi Town, learned this secret recipe from Zhao Hui. From then on, qingtuanzi was supplied to the market and became a snack with both beautiful color and taste and full of local characteristics. Then we worked hard to improve the filling of dumplings. We used hundred fruit hearts, cored dates and cut them into fine pieces, and added sugar, roses, and pine nuts; the other was bean paste filling. A small piece of crystal-like lard is embedded in the dumplings made of these two kinds of fillings. This way, it tastes sweet but not greasy, fat but not plump, and the tongue is pressed with fragrance, and the taste is mellow. From then on, the color, aroma and taste of Zhengyi Qingtuanzi surpassed Suzhou Huang Tianyuan and Shanghai Shen Dacheng and became famous in the Jiangsu and Shanghai areas.

Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs: Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs are unique in Kunshan. Many celebrities make a special trip to Kunshan to eat authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs. There is a local saying that it is best to eat female crabs in the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and it is best to eat male crabs in October. This is because the female crabs have plump and firm crab roe in their pockets in September, which tastes particularly delicious; the oil in the pockets of male crabs in October is thick and fat, melting in the mouth, and is a high-protein delicious food. Eating hairy crabs is very particular. There are more than ten tools for eating crabs. Whether it is eating crab backs, crab legs or crab claws, in short, each has its own purpose and its own advantages. at. Of course, hairy crabs can be found everywhere these days, but eating hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake, Kunshan is a different experience. There is an island restaurant in the middle of the lake, which can be reached by speedboat in about 10 minutes from the shore. Eating crabs here is surrounded by lakes and mountains, the blue waves are gentle, and the sweet fragrance of crabs spreads from your tongue to your heart. The taste of crab produced in this way is naturally delicious. It would be too monotonous to just eat crabs, and it would also fail to live up to the good place of Kunshan. Therefore, a better way to taste crabs is to taste crabs from Yangcheng Lake while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the lake and listening to Kunqu opera. Kun Opera is a local opera in Kunshan, with graceful and gentle tunes and delicate and simple singing. Lu Xiaoman was a loyal fan of Kun Opera back then. Let me ask, delicious food paired with beautiful music, coupled with Suzhou and Hangzhou women tapping their fingertips and slowly swinging their gauze sleeves, it is difficult not to get drunk at this scene.

Sock-soled Crispy: "Sock-soled Crispy" is said to be imitated by Jinxi people based on the court tea snacks of Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty. It is shaped like the bottom of a sock, with layers of pastry as thin as cicada wings. It tastes fragrant and crispy, and tastes sweet and salty in your mouth. It has always been a traditional tea snack that people in the Jiangnan area are eager to try. "Sock Sole Crispy" is popular because of its carefully selected ingredients and exquisite workmanship. When kneading dough with pastry, knead it repeatedly five or six times until it is completely uniform, so that the baked pastry can be thin and transparent layer by layer, and taste crispy and refreshing. The stuffing core is carefully made and the raw materials are strictly proportioned. For example, the salt used to make the salt and pepper puff pastry must be simmered in a wok, the dough must be rolled out finely, and the shallots must be pounded into pieces so that no holes are made and the filling is not exposed. Baking is very technical. During baking, the master must stay close to his job and keep an eye on the oven until the shortbread takes on a bright luster and exudes a fragrant aroma. In recent years, Jinxi Food Industry, on the basis of inheriting the traditional characteristics of "sock bottom cake", has reformed the production process, expanded the production scale, continuously introduced new products, and improved the packaging, which is not only more beautiful and fresh, but also more convenient to carry as gifts to relatives and friends.
