Welcome to Jiangsu Province

Jiangsu Province lies in the lower reaches of the Yangtze and Huai rivers and on the shore of the Yellow Sea. The mighty Yangtze River runs east and west across it, while the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal flows through it from north to south. Jiangsu Province is one of the developed regions in china with a burgeoning market economy. Transportation is convenient, and there is a complete array of tourist facilities. Crisscrossed by rivers and studded with lakes, Jiangsu abounds in natural resources and is known as a ‘land of fish and rice’. Jiangsu has more famous historical and cultural cities than any other province in China-there are seven of them, Nanjing, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Zhenjing, Changshu, Xuzhou and Huai’an. The part of Jiangsu south of the Yangtze River is a famed water-bound region, where there are many river-skirted villages, such as Zhouzhuang and Tongli, and a galaxy of classical Chinese gardens, including those in Suzhou, which have been designated as world cultural heritages. With places of historical and cultural interest scattered all over the province, Jiangsu is one of the provinces with a mature tourist industry.

SCENES & SIGHTS

Nanjing

Known as Jinling in old days, Nanjing is the capital of Jiangsu. Strategically situated on the Yangtze, with a moist climate, its terrain rendered majesty by the mountains in the background, it is also the province’s political, economic, cultural and transportation center. Nanjing today looks at once new and old-new due to the ongoing modernization drive, and old because it is already 2,460 years old, and, as one of the nation’s seven ancient capitals, it was the capital city for 10 feudal dynasties or regimes.

Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum

The mausoleum for Sun Yat-sen (1866-1925), forerunner of Chinese democratic revolution, was built during the 1926-1929 period. The entire layout, covering 80,000 square meters, takes the shape of a giant bell.

Qinhuai River Scenic Belt

The Qinhuai River is a trunk waterway as well as a famed scenic belt in Nanjing clustered as it is on both banks with a host of places of historical and cultural interest. One of them is the Confucian Temple, where the great thinker is worshipped. The temple mingles congruously with the Ming and Qing buildings around it, turning the place into a renowned tourist, cultural and commercial street. Night cruise on the river and visiting the night fair at the Confucian Temple are unique tourist programs available for visitors to Nanjing.

Linggu Temple

A famous Buddhist establishment, the Linggu Temple 2km east of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is known for its 22-metre-high Wuliang (Beamless) Hall, constructed without a single inch of wood, pillar or beam.

Ming Great Wall

This section of the Great Wall is the best preserved and longest of all city sections of this mammoth de fence work.

Xuanwu & Mochou Lakes

Both Xuanwu Lake and Mochou Lake are well-known parks in Nanjing. Aside from gracious scenery, each has a rich historical legacy to show its visitors.

Suzhou

Suzhou, located in the Taihu Lake Basin, which is the most prosperous part of the Yangtze River Delta, and 199km east of Shanghai, is a famous cultural city with a history of more than 2,500 years. Rising simultaneously with the city itself were a Venice-like layout with tiny bridges sitting gracefully on rivulets and streams, which ran parallel with the streets. Suzhou is celebrated for its many classical gardens, and the UNESCO has endorsed some of them as world cultural heritage sites. The suburbs of Suzhou are studded with ancient waterfront towns-Zhouzhuang, Tongli and Luzhi are three of the most prestigious ones.

Suzhou Gardens

Beginning from the Song, construction of private landscape gardens and courtyard houses came in vogue among local scholar-gentry, so much so that for a time the city had as many as 270 such gardens. Aloofness from the den and traffic of the outside world was what was on the minds of owners of these gardens, in which limited space was cunningly arranged to engender scenic spots that allowed owners to have nature all to himself without stepping out of the city. In 1997, the UNESCO put Humble Administrator’s Garden, the Garden to Linger In, Fishing-Net Master’s Garden, and Circular-Grace Mountain Villa on its world cultural heritage site list. Humble Administrator’s Garden and Fishing-Net Master’s Garden are open at night so that visitors can attend theatrical performances and enjoy the night scenery.

Tiger Hill Park

Huqiu (Tiger Hill) Park is billed as “No.1 Scenic Place in the State of Wu”. Legend has it that this was where the remains of the King of Wu of the Spring and Autumn Period were buried. A pagoda was built on the hill in 961, which had begun to slant until its top deviated 2.34 meters from its axial line. Every year the park is the venue of a flower show and temple fair with a distinct local style.

Cold Mountain Temple

Built in 502, Hanshan (Cold Mountain) Temple earned its fame from a line composed by the Tang poet Zhang Ji: “Beyond the Suzhou walls the Temple of Cold Mountain tolled its bell, which broke the midnight still and signaled the arrival of a guest’s boat.” On New Year’s Eve, visitors flock to the temple to hear the tolling of the bell by the temple’s abbot, and attend a night of carnival celebrations.

Suzhou embroidery Institute

Suzhou Embroidery Research Institute in the Circular-Grace Garden is staffed with a team of top-notch embroidery masters in the tradition of one of China’s four eminent schools of embroidery.

Panmen City Gate

Panmen is the oldest city gate in existence in Suzhou and the only one on a river-the oldest section of the Grand anal dug 2,500 years ago. Nearby stands Ruiguang (Auspicious Light) Pagoda, which has a history of 1,000 years. The city gate and the pagoda together form the most distinctive section of the wall of the ancient city of Suzhou.

Zhouzhuang, an Ancient Town

Thirty km from downtown Suzhou sits Zhouzhuang, extolled as No.1 water-bound town of China for its labyrinth of waterways, Ming and Qing dwellings, and honest-to-goodness folkways. Boat racing, lantern shows and old granny’s tea are part and parcel of local tradition. The folklore of this water bound town is celebrated at an international tourist festival, which takes place on April 12.

Tongli, another Ancient Town

Fifteen rivers, 6 km in total length, carve Tongli, a town 20 km from Suzhou, into 7 sections linked by 49 ancient bridges. Tongli is also a veritable museum of Ming and Qing architecture, and the venue of the famous Tuisi (Introspection) Garden, a classical garden in the style of the lower Yangtze River reaches. The annual “Spring of Tongli” tourist cultural festival takes place in town on April 18.
