Five cities in northern Jiangsu: Xuzhou, Lianyungang, Suqian, Huai'an, and Yancheng.

Three cities in central Jiangsu: Nantong, Taizhou and Yangzhou.

Five cities in southern Jiangsu: Nanjing (sub-provincial city), Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou and Zhenjiang.

Among the thirteen cities, Nanjing is the provincial capital, abbreviated as "Ning", known as Jinling and Jiankang in ancient times. It is the provincial capital of Jiangsu Province, a sub-provincial city, a megacity, and the core city of the Nanjing metropolitan area, approved by the State Council. It is an important central city in eastern China, an important scientific research and education base and a comprehensive transportation hub in the country.

The major economic city is Suzhou. Suzhou is located in the middle of the Yangtze River Delta and in the southeast of Jiangsu Province. It borders Shanghai to the east, Jiaxing City and Huzhou City of Zhejiang Province to the south, Taihu Lake to the west and Wuxi City to the north. Across the river from Nantong City, it is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu Province, a large city, an important city in the Shanghai metropolitan area and the Suzhou-Wuxi-Changzhou metropolitan area, one of the important central cities in the Yangtze River Delta approved by the State Council, and a national high-tech industrial base and scenery. tourist city.

Due to work, I stayed in Suzhou for a while. A series of scenic spots such as Suzhou Gardens, Suzhou University, Yangcheng Lake, Taihu Lake, and Zhouzhuang Ancient Town fully reflected the peaceful life, ancient history and characteristic rain of the Jiangnan water town. The characteristics of the alley water system are like a quiet girl, which is refreshing and unforgettable.
