Jiangsu is located along the eastern coast of China with a highly developed economy and many ancient historic sites; it has become a fascinating province for international as well as Chinese tourists.

Jiangsu is situated between east longitude 116°21' and 121°56', north latitude 30°45' and 35°08'. Jiangsu faces the Yellow Sea in the east, bordering Shandong province in the north, Anhui province in the west, and Shanghai and Zhejiang province in the southeast. Owing to its advantageous geographic location and easy access to a vast hinterland, Jiangsu province is becoming one of the most developed provinces in China.

Located in the beautiful and prosperous Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region, Jiangsu thus enjoys the authenticity of its natural scenery while maintaining a solid economic foundation, making it an idealistic destination for business, tourism or study. The YRD city group constituted by Jiangsu, Shanghai and Zhejiang has become one of the six world-class city groups.

From the beginning of China's economic reform to the subsequent entry into the world economy, Jiangsu province has worked extensively to foster its economic roots within China and the global economy. Jiangsu's economic and social development has made remarkable achievements. In 2025, Jiangsu registered regional GDP of 14.24 trillion yuan ($2.04 trillion), a year-on-year growth of 5.3 percent.
