In the impression of many people, Yangzhou is a city that came out of Tang poetry. Fireworks in Yangzhou in March, full of infinite charm imagination! Today's Yangzhou may not be as brilliant as it was in its heyday, but its heritage is still there. It is a livable city that can slow down and live.
If we compare it economically, Yangzhou is not as good as Suzhou and Wuxi.
In 20 19, Yangzhou's GDP was about 589 billion, and Suzhou Wuxi's GDP had already exceeded one trillion, which was far ahead in the country. However, livable but not livable depends on the human environment. Moreover, the economic level of Yangzhou is a strong city in the middle and upper reaches of Jiangsu Province and in the whole country.
Where is Jiangnan?
When I arrived in Yangzhou, I came to Jiangnan.
Yangzhou is located in the middle of Jiangsu Province, on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The water system in the territory is developed and there are no special mountains. The highest point in the whole territory is the elevation of Datong Mountain in Yizheng 149.5 meters, and the rest is along the river and lake, which is basically plain.
There are many places of interest in Yangzhou, the most famous of which is of course Slender West Lake, which belongs to the national AAAAA tourist scenic spot. From a certain point of view, Yangzhou can be called a tourist city in the south of the Yangtze River, because of the Slender West Lake.
Slender West Lake is famous all over the world. Slender West Lake is to Yangzhou what West Lake is to Hangzhou. Whether a city is livable or not lies not only between mountains and rivers, but also between humanities. Yangzhou did it.
The life of Yangzhou people is leisurely. Yangzhou cuisine has a long reputation, such as lion's head, boiled dried silk, three sets of ducks, three-dimensional steamed buns and so on. Yangzhou, with a long history, profound cultural heritage and distinctive local characteristics, is very suitable for living and living.
Wuxi
Wuxi is adjacent to Suzhou and belongs to a strong economic city in southern Jiangsu. Has been closely following the pace of Suzhou, rapid development and remarkable achievements.
Compared with the first-tier cities in China, Wuxi is not inferior, but also has the style of Jiangnan water town. This is a prosperous and livable city. Historically, Wuxi was one of the cradles of industry and commerce. It laid the foundation in Ming and Qing Dynasties and became the cradle of national industry in modern times, so it is called "little shanghai".
Jiangnan water system is developed. There are more than 3000 rivers in Wuxi, near Taihu Lake. It is definitely a veritable land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River.
There are many places of interest in China, including nanzenji, Chong'an Temple, Huishan Temple, Qingming Bridge in historic district, Yuantouzhu, Wuxi Three Kingdoms Film and Television City, Lingshan Giant Buddha and Huishan Ancient Town. In addition, Jiangyin City, below Wuxi, also has Huaxi Village, which is known as "the first village in the world".
In terms of transportation, Wuxi is complete, with convenient railways, water transport and aviation. Local cuisines include Wuxi steamed buns, Wuxi sauce ribs, Yangshan peaches and so on, and live in this city.
