Jiangsu Province lies in the lower reaches of the Yangtze and Huai rivers and on the shore of the Yellow Sea. The mighty Yangtze River runs east and west across it, while the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal flows through it from north to south. Jiangsu Province is one of the developed regions in china with a burgeoning market economy. Transportation is convenient, and there is a complete array of tourist facilities. Crisscrossed by rivers and studded with lakes, Jiangsu abounds in natural resources and is known as a 'land of fish and rice'. Jiangsu has more famous historical and cultural cities than any other province in China-there are seven of them, Nanjing, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Zhenjing, Changshu, Xuzhou and Huai'an. The part of Jiangsu south of the Yangtze River is a famed water-bound region, where there are many river-skirted villages, such as Zhouzhuang and Tongli, and a galaxy of classical Chinese gardens, including those in Suzhou, which have been designated as world cultural heritages. With places of historical and cultural interest scattered all over the province, Jiangsu is one of the provinces with a mature tourist industry.
Climate: Situated in the climatic transitional zone of warm-temperate and sub-tropical zones, Jiangsu has mild weather, moderate rainfall and clear-cut seasonal changes. The climate varies from north to south: The mean annual temperature is 13 degrees Centigrade in the north and 16 degrees Centigrade in the south while the mean annual precipitation is 800 mm in the
northwest and 1,200 mm in the southeast. There are frequent "plum rains" between spring and summer, and typhoon rains between late summer and early autumn.
