Datang town was founded in 1988, and has formed a complete industrial chain including hosiery machinery manufacturing, raw material production, packaging, marketing and logistics.

The town plans to combine the sock manufacturing industry with culture, art, design and tourism. It aims at becoming the most advanced sock manufacturing center, the top sock cultural center, the only sock industry themed landscape space and the only sock tourism destination in the world.

The sock crafts town consists of three functional blocks – an intelligent manufacturing "Silicon Valley", a fashion market and a maker space. The intelligent manufacturing "Silicon Valley" is the manufacturing area, the fashion market is the smart center and cultural and tourism area for the town, and the maker space is an entrepreneurship and innovation zone, home to projects such as an e-business park, an undergraduate innovation park and a China knitting material market.
