Jiangsu Tourism: A Rich Heritage of the Beauty and Fall of Jiangsu

Jiangsu Tourism: A Rich Heritage of the Beauty and Fall of Jiangsu

Jiangsu is known as a prosperous province found at the east coast of China. It is a fertile land is blessed with plenty of lakes and rivers that flow to the Yellow Sea just at the east of this province. This province is so rich in culture; it has already been a province for several Chinese dynasties back. Nanjing is has also been the province’s capital for a very long time.

There are so many places of interest that can be found in Jiangsu. The Yangtze River Bridge is an impressive structure that was constructed during the communist times which offers a terrific view of the Yangtze River. The Purple Mountain is a spectacular sight: its peaks are often covered with purplish clouds during sunset and sunrise. The Suzhou city is a great tourist attraction that is often visited for its intricate gardens.

There are also some sad reminders of this province’s past. Near the Purple Mountain are some mausoleums: the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, in dedication to the two great leaders of China. The Nanjing Massacre memorial is a painful reminder of the massive “rape of Nanking” by the Japanese troops.

Jiangsu has really a lot to offer, mostly on its past history – and this is something that is indeed worth learning.
