Can be seen, "submerge the city in people's minds an extraordinary appeal. Yancheng City, and indeed the history of urban construction in ancient China, a unique case, although the location is located in the prosperous Yangtze River Delta, without being aware people in the world. While in Friends of the eyes of the majority of brigades, which in turn is a "deserted" the ancient castle, the so-called "can ? Ka-off, but since re-blocking the deep." Only one tree, grass and water, the ancient castle, like the city also seemed to forest. there is no bustling visitors, not to small business operators on the so-called money selling souvenirs, in the summer heat in their own something cool, "grass and trees have hearts and opening up discount beauty want anything else."
Yancheng is located in Wujin District, Changzhou City, south is the Western Zhou to the Spring and Autumn period of China's current preservation of the oldest and most complete ancient city ground pool.

Princess's death, the king in order to punish her, ordered her body be divided into three parts, buried in the flooded city, which means let Siwuquanshi. As a result, submerge the city will have a princess in the first tun, belly and feet Tun Tun.
Turn the bridge on the outer Beidaihe, along the narrow winding path, you can see after another curved, less clear, but a clean interior and sub-Beidaihe Beidaihe. Whole Yancheng not much, after years of erosion over the castle, nor its former glory, but rather the great vitality of the trees, the weeds grow freely everywhere, there were stretches of lotus leaf coverage, egrets swirling of the lake. 3000 years of ups and downs, left behind are a masterpiece of good fortune. Objective existence of either Jiangnan Water filling clear blue water, some are fertile fields for thousands of years left as a monument of geometry, as well as many hidden in the ground of the Chinese nation's brilliant culture. Involved in the meantime, as if into the ideal world, giving ancient, quiet, deep feelings.
