Seoul, Tokyo, and Taipei, and via high-speed rail to other major cities 
in China. SIP is a major growth zone, including operations run by nearly 
one-fifth of the Fortune 500 top global companies. Greater Suzhou is now 
the fourth largest concentration of economic activity in China in terms 
of GDP ($195 billion in 2012). The broader Suzhou area encompasses the 
spirit of both old and new in China, with the historic old town’s 
canals, UNESCO World Heritage Site gardens, and the I.M Pei-designed 
Suzhou Museum attracting millions of tourists annually. SIP offers an 
excellent quality of life with high environmental standards. The nearby 
Jinji Lake provides attractive views, by day and by night, and there are 
a variety of shopping facilities, international and local restaurants,
