The Along the Yangtze River|Yangtze River and the Along the Grand Canal|Grand Canal both cross the province, and there are many other historical attractions, several of which are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Suzhou has China's best-known classical gardens, while Nanjing has been the capital of several dynasties and has much history, including the mausoleum of Sunday Yat-Sen. This is also the province where the Nobel prize-winning American author, Pearl Buck, lived and worked.

Jiangsu is China's fifth most populous province (about 80 million, comparable to Germany or Turkey), and one of its most prosperous. Compared to other Chinese provinces, it has both the highest population density and the highest per capita GDP. Major industries include electronic equipment, chemicals and textiles. Overall GDP is about half that of India.

Travel to Jiangsu

Jiangsu is well connected by road, rail and air to the rest of the nation and world.

In particular and the comfortable new High-speed rail in China|high speed trains connect Hangzhou and Shanghai to cities in Jiangsu — Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou and Nanjing.

Shanghai has many international flights and Nanjing (IATA Flight Code: NKG) some, including a new direct service to Frankfurt on Lufthansa; both those cities also have many domestic flights. Wuxi, Nantong, Yangzhou/Taizhou (Jiangsu) | Taizhou and Changzhou have airports for domestic flights.

There are also boats along the Along the Yangtze river | Yangtze and the Along the Grand Canal | Grand Canal.

How to get around in Jiangsu

Yangzhou-Modern-Grand-Canal-barges-CIMG3348 - Cargo boats on the Grang Canal near Yangzhou

There are good bus and train links within the province, plus some boats on the Yangtze and other waterways.

By Rail

The main rail corridor south of the Yangtze, Nanjing-Shanghai, running through Jiangsu's biggest cities, now has three more or less parallel railway lines: the old ("conventional") Beijing-Nanjing-Shanghai line (lowest fares, but intra-province tickets are hard to come by; mostly used for taking trains to other parts of China) and the high-speed Beijing-Nanjing-Shanghai line (mostly useful for taking high-speed trains to other parts of China), and the "intercity" Nanjing-Shanghai line (frequent service between region's cities). Many cities in this corridor have separate stations for each line, so always make sure you know where your train is to be boarded. Nanjing has two train stations (Nanjing and Nanjing South) as well.

North of the Yangtze and the Nanjing-Yangzhou-Nantong line has frequent high-speed service, along with some conventional service as well.

There is no passenger rail connection across the Yangtze downstream of Nanjing (cargo trains use a ferry), so you can not take a train from e.g. Yangzhou or Nantong to Shanghai. However and there are talks about building a railway bridge around Nantong.

Xuzhou, in the far north-west of Jiangsu, is a major railway hub. The rest of northern Jiangsu has a number or rail lines as well; service between most of its major cities and Nanjing is available, but is less frequent than on the lines along the Yangtze.

By car

The roads are good so you could consider renting a vehicle and driver, or even driving yourself. See Driving in China.

Travel by bicycle in Jiangsu

Outside of small historic downtowns, Jiangsu's cities have fairly good conditions for bicycling, with wide street provided with separate lanes for two-wheeled vehicles (which and these days, are mostly electric motorcycles rather than pedal bicycles).

Traveling by bicycle between cities is more pleasant in wealthier Jiangsu than in many other parts of China (and Asia in general) as well. In many other parts of the nation it is crossing a city's outskirts which is the least pleasant part of a bike trip: central cities have decently maintained streets with bike lanes, countryside has fairly light traffic, but cities are surrounded by belts of light industrial land use (rebar vendors, cement factories, tire shops, recyclers, etc), where roads are often broken and dusty, while traffic is heavy and chaotic. In Jiangsu, however, it is often feasible to leave a city via a wide boulevard with stately buildings and parkland around it, such as Nanjing's Xianlin Road (仙林大道).

Most of the bridges across the Yangtze only carry expressway traffic, and can't be used by bicycles. To cross the river with a bike, you can use Nanjing's First Bridge (the city's oldest bridge, Northwest of downtown), or a ferry (such as the one between Yangzhou and Zhenjiang).

Many cities (e.g. Nanjing, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou) have bicycle rental programs, with self-service bicycle stands around the city. However, one probably has to be a local resident with all the accoutrements of residence (a local ID card, a Chinese cell phone, a Chinese credit card...) to make us of it; see if your local friends can help you.

Local Language in Jiangsu

Jiangsu can be broadly divided into two linguistic regions. The southern part of the province is Wu phrasebook|Wu ("Shanghainese") speaking while the northern part is Mandarin speaking. The Suzhou (not Shanghai) dialect of Wu is traditionally considered to be the prestige dialect, so learners Wu will find it spoken in the "purest" form there. The Nanjing dialect of Mandarin differs significantly in pronunciation from standard Mandarin, but nevertheless is still mutually intelligible.

What to see in Jiangsu

Tomb of Xiao Hui - P1200208 - Majestic stone statues guard the tombs of the Southern Dynasties royalty, scattered throughout Nanjing's eastern suburbs

The Presidential Palace. Historically the site of a number of important government officials, it is also a beautiful garden, an oasis from the noisy, bustling city. About ¥60 a person.

Purple Mountain. Although the base is crowded, for ¥60 a person and there is a chair lift to the top which is scenic. Again, a nice getaway from the city.

Suzhou has many water-towns. These are cities interlaced by rivers and streams. The main means of tranportation was once by water. Zhouzhuang is the most famous of the water townships.
