Summary:

Jiangsu Province stretches along the Yellow Sea coastline for over a thousand kilometers. It is a land full of history and wealth. One facet of its wealth is its water. The mighty Yangtze River in the south, the legendary Grand Canal that cuts through it from the north, and thousands of lakes make Jiangsu a water-wealthy wonderland. "The Travels of Marco Polo" documents the Grand Canal, which remains the longest man-made canal in the world, yet dates back to the 5th Century BC. Over the centuries, this prosperous province has been home to many great philosophers, writers, politicians, and even emperors, who made Nanjing one of the "Four Great Ancient Capitals" of China. Today, Nanjing is the capital of Jiangsu, which is also China's most densely populated province. Jiangsu borders Shanghai in the Southeast.
