"I am glad to see the changes in the old factory area. Today, I feel that it has renewed its vitality."

Once again stepping into the cotton mill which has worked for more than 30 years, the old textile man is in a bit of a mood.

It is understood that the use of cotton mill in Jiangyin was founded in 1901, formerly known as the use of cotton mill in Jiangyin, is one of the first 3 cotton mills in Jiangsu province.

In recent years, development has been blocked due to various reasons.

In the face of a new choice in the pformation of cotton mills, the Jiangyin municipal government is considering more ways to make these precious urban industrial heritage glow with new brilliance.

"Jiangyin is the home of textile industry, and the cotton mill is also a textile enterprise."

With the textile industry as the backbone and clothing culture as flesh and blood, we hope to use cotton mills in another way to show the public.

Xu Weiguo, deputy general manager of the new National League investment and Development Co., Ltd. introduced the project.

In recent years, the textile and garment industry in Jiangyin has developed rapidly, and the textile industry has nearly half of the market share in the country, and has become a pillar industry of Jiangyin's economic development.

"Hai Lan's home" and "Jiangsu sunshine" are the most representative enterprises in Jiangyin.

It is not uncommon to create a creative industrial base to achieve a new look for the industrial heritage, such as Beijing's "798" and Shanghai's "Red Square".

Then, how does "China dress island" highlight its own characteristics? "The whole dress island is a place that is completely open to the public. We hope that it can become a hatchery for creative industries. In order to fully tap the industrial cultural heritage of Jiangyin's textile industry, the early planning includes 4 categories: South of Jiangsu textile culture museum, textile design and Research Center, fashion culture experience center and post Jiangnan Cultural Club."

Xu Weiguo said.

In order to build the first island of China's textile culture, Jiangyin actively draws on the concept of "SOHO" abroad, fully excavating the existing resources of the old North Gate "island" and the original cotton mill, and introducing competitive and influential Chinese and foreign cultural and art institutions and technology creative industries.

Nowadays, the venues in the park are integrated with the characteristics of the traditional industrial buildings, such as heavy and air, while highlighting the simplicity and fashion features of modern architecture.

On the day of the opening ceremony, the "textile and clothing experience Museum" located at the southeast corner of the park has been opened to the public.

When the door of the stadium was opened, it was no longer a group of textile workers with white hat and white gowns and handsome faces. Students from Career Technical College in Jiangyin were demonstrating the production of the dress with white cloth on the stage.

The inner side of the exhibition hall, the changeable fabric and the textile equipment with considerable sense of time, create a strong textile culture.

Through the color corridors, the display areas are decorated with modern or ethnic or historical costumes.

In the colorful neon exhibition area, a large number of multimedia applications directly bring people into the gorgeous fashion world.

"This is a good start. We hope to continuously introduce internationally renowned design and creative institutions, production and research institutes and fashion leaders to build the" China clothing island "as a platform for the design, display and information exchange of domestic textile and garment enterprises, and the public will experience fashionable leisure places.
