Kunshan (simplified Chinese: 昆山; pinyin: Kūnshān; Wade-Giles: K'un-shan ) is a satellite city in the greater Suzhou region that is administratively at the county-level in southeast Jiangsu, China, just outside Shanghai. It currently ranks as the most economically successful county-level administration in China. In 2007 the GDP totalled 115.2 billion yuan (ca. US$15 billion), an increase of 20.5% from 2006. The GDP per capita reached over 101,000 yuan (US$13,424).

Kunshan is culturally significant as the origin of Kunshan diao, the melody which ultimately evolved into Kunqu, China's oldest[citation needed] extant theatre art. Kunshan is the birthplace of one of China's most well known ancient opera styles.[1]

It is known as the birthplace of Fei Junlong, Gong Xian, An Wang, and Soong Ching-ling.[citation needed]

As of 2006 the city is locally known as "Little Taipei" due to the influx of businessmen from the Republic of China.[1]

It is also home to the iPod Touch factory, a division of Apple. All new iPod Touches will be delivered from there. Also, Hewlett Packard delivers their laptop series from there.
