四河之地

Land of the Four Rivers

京杭大运河在平望镇境内与太浦河交汇，形成了大运河、老运河、太浦河、頔塘河，四河汇集的独特景致。

The Grand Canal intersects with the Taipu River in the town of Pingwang, creating a unique landscape where the Grand Canal, the local old Canal, the Taipu River and the DiTang River come together.

平望镇临浙、依苏、通沪，区位独特、交通便利，地处长三角区域中心。史书记载：隋唐以来，自南向北有塘路鼎，分于葭苇之间，天光水色一望皆平，故名平望。

Pingwang Town is in the center of the Yangtze River Delta region, with its unique location and convenient transportation. History records that since the Sui and Tang dynasties, there has been a pond nearby running north-south, full of reeds, the composition of the sky and the pond then gives a view of broad fields and horizon, hence the name “Ping(broad) wang(scene)”.
