Changzhou

The Grand Canal defines the setting of Changzhou — its waterways and canal-side districts have long connected this Jiangsu city to the trade routes of the Yangtze River Delta. Located between Shanghai and Nanjing, Changzhou is a major manufacturing centre, while older neighbourhoods retain the intimate scale of a canal settlement. Tianning Temple, marked by its prominent pagoda, is one of the city’s best-known Buddhist landmarks. Changzhou is also associated with traditional Chinese comb-making, a local craft represented in the city’s comb museum. Modern leisure development includes China Dinosaur Park, a large dinosaur-themed attraction. See how Changzhou fits within southern Jiangsu by browsing webcams nearby.
