Jiangsu has never lacked fairy cities
But when it comes to northern Jiangsu
It may be relatively unfamiliar to everyone
But with Xuzhou, Lianyungang
The popularity of these small towns in northern Jiangsu
Let everyone discover too
Jiangsu not only has Nanjing, Wuxi and Yangzhou
There are also a lot of niche towns
There is no shortage of beautiful scenery and good food
There is no shortage of history and culture either
With digging deeper
Yancheng, the largest city in Jiangsu
It has become a small town that many people yearn for
01
Yancheng, Yancheng
Yancheng is an old and emerging city
From the Western Han Dynasty in Yanzhi County
It has a history of more than 2,100 years
Walk into Yancheng
It's like opening a treasure trove
There are countless surprises hidden here
China's only "mountainless city"
Yancheng is an alluvial plain formed after the Yellow River seized the Huai into the sea
As far as the eye can see, there is a flat river
Most of the area is less than 5 meters above sea level
The highest elevation is only 8.5 meters
Not even a hill in sight
As a result, it has also become the only city in China that does not have mountains
China's most embarrassing coastal city
Yancheng is a coastal city that is like a fake
It has the longest coastline and the widest sea area in Jiangsu
But the strange thing is the people who live in Yancheng
Most of them have never seen the sea of Yancheng
A blessed land for man and nature
Yancheng's air quality ranks first in the province
It ranks in the top 20 in the country
It's not just the happiness of the people who live here
It also attracts a lot of wildlife
This is the home of elk
Home to red-crowned cranes

As early as more than 3,000 years ago
There are elk in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River on the mainland
However, it gradually decreased after the Han Dynasty
In 1986, 39 elk were introduced here
By 2019, there were 5,016 elk
It is home to the world's largest population of wild elk
Dafeng China Elk Park was established

Herds of elk roam in the meadows
Snow-white egrets are constantly pecking at insects around them
A long-necked heron waits quietly for fish at the murmuring water's edge

Luckily, you can also see the process of alternating greenery and autumn rhyme
The leaves quietly turn yellow
But it hasn't completely faded away
It's as if the flowers and trees have just come out of the heat of summer
Slowly calm down
Walk through it

Listen to the sounds coming back from the woods
Or stop and shoot
Use your lens to record beautiful moments
Life is not just about steel and concrete
Occasionally, you need to absorb some natural breath
