Yangzhou: Canal Heritage, Classical Gardens & Old Town Lanes

This map brings together the city's essential landscapes and heritage sites—from the willow-lined bridges of Slender West Lake and the seasonal rockeries of Qing-era merchant estates to hilltop Buddhist temples, royal Han tombs, Grand Canal museums, and the flagstone streets of the historic old town.
