Yancheng, formerly known as Yandu, is a prefecture-level city in the eastern coastal Jiangsu province, People's Republic of China. As the city with the largest jurisdictional area in Jiangsu, Yancheng borders Lianyungang to the north, Huai'an to the west, Yangzhou and Taizhou to the southwest, Nantong to the south, and the Yellow Sea to the east. Formerly a county, the current Yancheng city was founded on January 18, 1983.

First and foremost, Yancheng is home to the world-renowned Red-crowned Crane Nature Reserve. This reserve is the largest breeding ground for red-crowned cranes, a critically endangered species, and offers visitors a chance to witness these majestic birds in their natural habitat. The reserve also features diverse wetland landscapes, including reed marshes, mudflats, and tidal creeks, making it a paradise for nature lovers and birdwatchers.

Aside from its natural beauty, Yancheng also has a rich cultural heritage. The city has a long history dating back to the Han Dynasty, and you can explore its ancient roots at the Yandu Park. The park houses the Yandu Museum, a treasure trove of historical artifacts, and the Yandu Ancient City Wall, which is a well-preserved section of the city's original wall. You can also experience the traditional Chinese art of paper-cutting at the Yandu Cultural Center.
