- Summary:
- Provides an introduction to the city of Yangzhou.
- There is a saying: when you visit Yangzhou, you will discover China. In this film, we follow in the footsteps of Marco Polo, who meticulously recorded his observations of Yangzhou's epic cultural heritage in his best-selling book "The Travels of Marco Polo," which for over 700 years has never gone out of printing Strategically situated at the junction of the famous Grand Canal and the Yangtze River, Yangzhou since ancient times has remained one of the most prosperous cities of China, because of its flourishing trade in salt, silk and grain. The lavish mansions and gardens of rich salt merchants offer a unique testimony to the wealth of this city that attracted poets, painters and writers from all over the Middle Kingdom. Since time immemorial, exquisite arts and crafts have accumulated as treasure troves in this city of timeless culture, recipient of a United Nations Scroll of Honor award.
