Yangzhou
 Lying
in central Jiangsu Province, the city of
Yangzhou has the Changjiang River to the
south, the Huaihe River to the north, and
the Grand Canal flowing through its urban
area. Built 2,480 years ago, Yangzhou was
once the economic and cultural center of
areas between the Changjiang and Huaihe
river valleys and an important port for
the earliest trade and contacts between
China and the rest of the world. The ancestors
of people in Yangzhou created a splendid
culture and left behind them a large number
of historical relics and sites, making it
a well known tourist city in China. These
include the Lesser West Lake, Hongqiao Bridge,
the Mist and Rain Tower, the Ershisi Bridge,
and Huhu Humble Cottage.
