Guanlin town in Yixing, a county-level city of Wuxi in Jiangsu province, was recently ranked first among its Wuxi counterparts, local media reported on Aug 24.

With a history of more than 2,300 years, Guanlin, meaning numerous officials in English, earned the name because many officials lived in the town in the Song Dynasty (960-1279).

With an area of 122 square kilometers, Guanlin has over 90,000 permanent residents and 68,000 registered residents.

In the first half of this year, the industrial output of businesses above designated size and foreign trade volume in Guanlin reached 84.6 billion yuan ($11.63 billion) and $1.3 billion respectively.

The cable industry is the most famous calling card of Guanlin. As one of the four cable industry towns in China, Guanlin sees more than 100 billion yuan of annual output value from that industry and as of 2022, the town was home to nearly 1,000 businesses related to it.

In recent years, the town has adjusted its industrial development and determined new energy, new materials, and precision auto parts as its new direction.
