Yangzhou

Yangzhou spans across the northern bank of the Yangtze River, encompassing three urban districts and multiple county-level divisions within central Jiangsu Province.

The city gained importance during the Sui Dynasty in 589 CE when it became the southern terminus of a major canal system connecting to northern capital cities.

The merchants of Yangzhou traditionally supported numerous artists and poets, leading to the emergence of the renowned Eight Eccentrics painting movement during Ming and Qing periods.

The Yangzhou Taizhou International Airport provides connections to major cities, while an extensive network of high-speed railways links the city to Shanghai and Nanjing.

The city maintains its position as a center for Huaiyang cuisine preparation, recognized as one of the four main Chinese culinary traditions.
