Jiangsu Attractions

 
Jiangsu extends along the east coast of China, around the lower course of the Changjiang. It lies between 116°21'-121°54'E and 30°46'-35°08'N.

17 per cent of the surface area of the province is taken up with waterways and lakes, while the rest consists of plains broken up by isolated hills. The region includes the low-lying alluvial plain of the Changjiang and the old estuarial area of the Huanghe (diverted in 1863), a flat coastal region criss-crossed by canals. The mud brought down by the two rivers has in the course of thousands of years pushed the coast several kilometers out to sea, at the same time causing the formation of large lakes (Taihu, Gaoyou Hu, Hongze Hu).

The climate shows considerable variations: while the south has a moist temperate climate, the north is cooler.
