Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province:

Yangzhou, formerly known as Guangling, Jiangdu, and Weiyang, has a history dating back to 486 BC. Yangzhou has a long history, brilliant culture, prosperous commerce, and outstanding people. Located in the central part of Jiangsu Province, at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal, it is a city in the tight circle of the Nanjing metropolitan area and the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration. It is also the water source of the national key project, the East Route of the South to North Water Diversion Project. It is known as the famous capital of Huaizuo and the best place in Zhuxi; It also has the reputation of being the first canal city in China and one of the first historical and cultural cities in China.

Learning points: History of Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province:

The history of Yangzhou's founding can be traced back to 486 BC, sometimes referred to as Yangzhou in ancient times, which is equivalent to the current "province". According to Du You's "Tongdian" during the Tang Dynasty, there were 39 prefectures and 196 counties in the ancient Yangzhou region. Although this Yangzhou included Yangzhou after the Sui Dynasty (now Yangzhou), it cannot be confused with the prosperous Yangzhou city after the Sui Dynasty (now Yangzhou).

Memory:

For Qingdao people from the seaside, perhaps they have been admiring the beauty of the sea for too long. The attraction of the sea is no longer as strong, and I always yearn for the various scenic spots in Yangzhou, Jiangsu. I long for the long history and beautiful scenery of Yangzhou, Jiangsu. The unforgettable cuisine of Yangzhou constantly touches and attracts me. The wonderful imagination that transcends time and space forces me to embark on this mysterious journey.
