Jiangsu

Built around the lower Yangtze River and the Grand Canal, Jiangsu grew into one of China’s most urbanised and economically important provinces. Its terrain shifts from the lakes and waterways around Taihu in the south to broad lowlands and the Yellow Sea coast in the north. Nanjing, a former imperial capital, preserves major sites including the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, while Suzhou is renowned for its classical gardens, recognised by UNESCO. Canal towns, silk traditions and Jiangnan cuisine reflect the province’s long relationship with trade and water. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Jiangsu.
