Zhenjiang

Zhenjiang is famous for its rich cultural legacy. A spring on the edge of the city was once known for producing the best water for brewing tea. Three of the city's parks (Jinshan, Jiaoshan and Beigushan) are major heritage sites.

Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang was originally built during the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420).

The hilly scenery in Zhenjiang's southern suburbs have inspired legions of Chinese painters over the centuries; there are many paintings that depict the rolling hills of Zhenjiang.

Zhenjiang is still one of China's busiest ports for domestic commerce, serving as a hub for trade between northern Jiangsu and Anhui provinces, and Shanghai. Products traded include grain, cotton, oil and lumber.
