Dragon City in Brief

 
 
Changzhou

Changzhou

, also known as the

Dragon City

, is an ancient city with over 2500 years history. As statistic shows, its name had been altered many times: Yanling, Piling, Pitan, Jinling, Changchun and Wujin. There had been up-and-downs of the local officials or the dynasties behind each name.

Glorious culture and history present a gift for this city. The oldest and intact city sites - Spring and Autumn Yan city, the first jungle built in the Tang Dynasty Tianning Chansi Temple, the ancient

Wen Bi Pagoda

, Yizhou Pavilion where the greatest Song Dynasty's poet Su Dongpo anchored. Qingxiang Lane, a street built in ancient architectural style. What's more, there are a series of traveling programs, such as Chinese Dinosaur Garden, Tianmuhu (eyes of the sky) Lake Resort, Mao Shan Scenery Areas etc. With its deep cultural connotations and unique scenes, Changzhou is magnetizing more and more visitors home and abroad.

The city is situated in the south of

Jiangsu Province

, the central part of

Yangtze Delta

. It is opposite to and equidistant from

Shanghai and Nanjing

. It is one of the crucial cities in the Golden Triangle area at the lower reach of the Yangtze River.

There are a great many joyous festivals. Every year, there is a grand China Rose Lantern Party (May 15 - June 1),

Changzhou Tourism Festival

  in September to October, Temple Fair in Tianningsi Temple on 28th and 29th of July, Chinese calendar. Besides, the Tea Festival in Liyang in April and the Summer of Beers in Tianmuhu Lake in September.

Changzhou is a city with four distinctive seasons.
 
 
 

In spring, the fragrant white flowers of Yulan (Magnolia) show their hottest welcome, peach blossoms shyly smile, and the weeping willows laugh in the breeze. In summer, the city becomes a sea of China Roses. As known, Rose means Love. China Rose, called Yue Ji in Chinese, means Monthly Rose. In this aspect, can we say it represents an eternal Love ? Don't miss it. If you'd like to join in this romantic summer, June or July, do remember to bring an umbrella with you, for this period it rains a lot. In autumn, sweet-scented osmanthus unveils and comes. Osmanthus has been a quintessence of beauty. Winter appears a totally different view. All creatures take off their dazzling coat. With less floweriness and prosperity, it seems much quieter. Everything stops except the falling snow. Maybe it's a time for all to have a break and rest their soul.
