Jiangsu

Jiangsu Province extends along the eastern coast of China, featuring extensive waterways, fertile plains, and densely populated urban centers divided by the Yangtze River.

During the Ming Dynasty from 1368 to 1644, Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu, functioned as the central administrative hub for southern and southeastern China.

The classical gardens of Suzhou demonstrate traditional Chinese gardening principles through the careful arrangement of rocks, water features, pavilions, and native plants.

The extensive network of canals, including sections of the Grand Canal, connects major cities and facilitates transportation of goods throughout the eastern region.

Jiangsu contains 168 institutions of higher education, representing the highest concentration of academic institutions among all Chinese provinces.
