About
About Yancheng
Yancheng (simplified Chinese: 盐城; traditional Chinese: 鹽城; pinyin: Yánchéng), formerly known as Yandu, is a prefecture-level city in the eastern coastal Jiangsu province, People's Republic of China.
Yancheng was founded in 119 BC named after the salt harvest fields that surround the city. The city’s name, meaning "Salt City", reflects its historical role as a major salt-producing center. The best times to visit are in spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is mild.
