Shilian Town belongs to the eastern suburb of Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, bordering on Wuzhen, Tongxiang City, Mao Dun's hometown. Shi Lian, an ancient water town, is a pilot town of small cities in Zhejiang Province, with beautiful scenery, small bridges and flowing water, and an idyllic scenery. The ancient canal road (Hangzhou-Shenzhen line), which runs across the territory 18.6 km, is like a jade belt. It flows smoothly and peacefully eastward to Wuzhen, Mao Dun's hometown, and joins the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

Lianzhen has a long history of more than 2000 years. As a town, Shi Lian became a city in Qin and Han Dynasties and flourished in Jin and Tang Dynasties. According to legend, in ancient times, villagers bought Shi Lian, hence the name Shi Lian. Because Lian and Lian are homonyms, it was called after nine years of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty. The unique location advantage is an important factor for its enduring for thousands of years. The ancient Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the double-track navigation of Changhu, which has the reputation of the Oriental Rhine, the Huyan Highway, the Shenjiahu under construction, the Shenjiahang Expressway and the Huzha Railway all meet with the Xunlian Highway which runs through the north and south. The criss-crossing land and water transportation network closely connects the training market with the world, which is 30 kilometers away from Shanghai/Kloc-0, 60 kilometers away from Hangzhou, 80 kilometers away from Suzhou and 65438+ from Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
