Yancheng, Coastal manufacturing city in Jiangsu, China
Description
Yancheng is a coastal city in Jiangsu Province that spans a large administrative territory in eastern China. The landscape consists mainly of tidal wetlands and marshes that form along the shoreline.
History
The city takes its name from a long tradition of salt harvesting that began during an early Chinese dynasty. This salt production formed the economic foundation of the region for centuries.
Culture
The wetlands around the city serve as a habitat where rare bird species and deer live in their natural surroundings. Visitors can observe these animals during their daily activities, especially during seasonal migrations.
Practical
The city has an international airport offering regular flights to major cities across the country. The best time to visit is during spring and autumn when the weather is mild and comfortable.
Did you know?
A specialized nature reserve in the region focuses on breeding a species of deer that once completely disappeared from the wild. Through careful breeding programs, these animals now thrive once more in their original homeland.
