Many cities feature attractive landscapes, a pleasant climate and a storied history, but Yangzhou is definitely home to more than those superficial charms. 

Standing along the Grand Canal for centuries, the city in Jiangsu province has developed and prospered with its rich cultural atmosphere permeating every urban corner. 

The chic bookstore, Zhongshuge, in the downtown has become the top choice for residents seeking an escape from the summer heat to immerse themselves in a world of knowledge. Local children also have a summer paradise, the Yangzhou Science and Technology Museum, where a variety of seasonal activities await them, offering fun and a continued education through summer.
