The intricate web of historic and modern canals that define the 'Water Towns' of the Jiangnan region.
Northern Jiangsu Plains
Perfectly rectangular agricultural plots that create a giant green and gold patchwork quilt effect.
Yancheng Wetlands
The UNESCO-listed coastal mudflats and salt marshes, home to rare red-crowned cranes and Milu deer.
