常州北枕长江-，南濒太湖，自古就有“舟车会百越，襟带控三吴”的美誉。放眼常州，穿越或分布城区的沪宁铁路、高速公路、京杭运河、民航机场、长江口岸和常州信息网络等基础设施，使常州的发展如虎添翼，如龙腾云。

    Bordering the Yangtze River to the north, and Taihu Lake to the south, Changzhou has been reputed as “Hub in Wu region” since ancient times. As a poem goes, “Vessels and vehicles from south of China all meet here, rivers and roads from here lead to main cities in the Yangtze River area”. Looking at Changzhou, the well-developed infrastructure, such as Shanghai-Nanjing railway, expressway, Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, civil airport, Yangtze River Port and Changzhou information network, has redoubled the strength of the city.
