where is Xingtai in Jiangyan

lixiahe, introduction
lixiahe area is located in the middle of Jiangsu province, which starts from Lili canal in the west, reaches Chuanchang river in the east, reaches Tongyang canal in the north, with a total area of more than 13,5 square kilometers, and is a part of the coastal plain of Jiangsu province. Because the canal is called Lihe for short, Chuanchang River is commonly known as Xiahe, and the plain is between these two rivers, so it is called Lixiahe Plain.
the formation history of lixiahe plain is short. Around 7 years ago, the sea level rose to its present position and gradually stabilized. At that time, the coastline of northern Jiangsu was in an arc concave to the west, and today's Lixiahe area was still a big bay between the two alluvial plains along the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River. The Huaihe River and the Yangtze River are constantly carrying a sea of sediment, and under the action of waves, lake tides and coastal currents, sand dikes are piled up at this bay mouth, forming a lake separated from the open sea. In recent 3 years, the water quality of the lake has gradually faded into a freshwater lake, and due to the sediment deposition in the lake, it has evolved into a "pot bottom depression" plain area with high periphery and low middle today. Lixiahe Plain is low and flat, with dense water network, connected with lakes and swings, and high groundwater level, with most aquatic plants such as wet plants and marsh plants.
As early as 6, years ago, some ancestors lived and developed primitive agricultural production in some highlands around Lixiahe Plain. According to historical records, in 486 BC, "Autumn, Wu Chengyi, communicated with Jianghuai to get through the grain road". Since then, the Han River has been connected with natural rivers such as Huaiyi, Mu and Si, and the traffic has promoted the exchange of agricultural products and other materials and the exchange of economy and technology. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the salt and iron industry in Jiangsu was quite developed. In the coastal area of Lixiahe Plain, cooking salt with seawater was a great resource. At that time, there was a large population here, and it was common to use iron farm tools and Niu Geng technology. In addition, irrigation was convenient, agricultural production level was high, and products were abundant, which was a scene of "land of fish and rice". Despite the vicissitudes of the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, it is still a region with rich people and rich resources and relatively developed economy and culture. In 1128 AD, the feudal rulers of the Song Dynasty and the State of Jin allowed the South Yellow River to invade and seize the Huaihe River, thus destroying the entire waterway system in the lower reaches of the Huaihe River, making the Lixiahe area a famous area of "heavy rain, light rain and drought without rain". In all previous floods and droughts, the drought in 1929 and the flood in 1931 were the worst. During the drought in 1929, most of the rivers, harbors and lakes in Lixiahe Plain bottomed out, and locusts harmed crops and brine flowed backwards. It was located in Xinghua, a "pot bottom depression". It turned out to be "no grain in autumn, great hunger in old age, and many people are in exile." In July 1931, the Huaihe River rose sharply due to heavy rain. When its banks burst, the Lixiahe Plain and Wang Yang, the coastal plain to its east, failed to harvest in autumn and next summer, and more than 3 million people were displaced, and more than 77, people died. The vast disaster areas formed a sad and miserable scene.
At the beginning of the founding of New China, the Party and the state attached great importance to the flood disaster in Huaibei and Lixiahe areas. In the 195s, the people were mobilized to harness the Huaihe River, and the main irrigation canal in northern Jiangsu was opened in the lower reaches of the Huaihe River, and the Wanghe sluice was built to expand the Huaihe River's inlet channel, and the Lixiahe Plain's crowded river ports and other rivers with floodwaters were rectified, which played a great role in preventing and controlling flood disasters in the lower reaches of the Huaihe River. Since the reform and opening up, the people, under the leadership of the Party and the government, have given full play to the advantages of the natural environment in Lixiahe area and made great efforts to adjust the agricultural structure according to local conditions. This area is rich in green food such as grain, oil, eggs, livestock products, aquatic products, aquatic plants, etc. The economic income of farmers has been greatly improved, and xinghua city, the hinterland of Lixiahe Plain, has become one of the top 1 counties (cities) in China. In Xinghua, which is "impossible without a boat" in history, Ningjing Expressway, Ningyan First-class Highway and Xingtai Highway have run through the north and south of the plain, reaching the Ming Jiang Yangtze River Bridge, connecting with Ningtong Expressway and Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway, and Gaoyou-Dongtai Highway runs across the plain and meets Xinchang Railway, forming a road and railway transportation network extending in all directions in the plain area.
There are many lakes to be developed in Lixiahe Plain, such as gaoyou lake, baoying lake and Dazong Lake, as well as the unique agricultural wonders in China, such as "Duotian" and other natural landscapes. Huang Shi, a cauliflower in spring, floats in the former "hometown of battlefields" by boat. The pastoral scenery is scary and unique, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. In late autumn, you can enjoy the unique taste of water features by visiting Gaoyou and Dazhong Lake breeding bases, cleaning crab fertilizer and mussel and shrimp schools. In addition, there are more than 1 cultural landscapes in Lixiahe area, such as Wenyoutai, Zhenguo Temple Tower, Lijia Garden Shipyard, Zhengqiao Former Residence, Shi Naian Cemetery and Liu Xizai Former Residence. Qintong Club Boat Festival and other ethnic customs are also a local must.

Yangzhou was founded in late spring and autumn, and has a history of more than 2,4 years. At that time, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, opened a ditch and built an evil city in the hometown of neighboring countries in order to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains. During the Warring States period, it was also called Guangling, and in the Western Han Dynasty, it was renamed Jiangdu. Since then, its name has changed repeatedly, and it was called Yangzhou in the Sui Dynasty. With the excavation of the Grand Canal, Yangzhou's water transport and salt transport have played an important role in the whole country, and it has also become a rich metropolis, which is not only the economic and cultural center of Jianghuai, but also a port for foreign trade and international friendly exchanges, and enjoys the reputation of "the left capital of Huai".
since the Ming and Qing dynasties, Yangzhou has become a famous tourist attraction at home and abroad. Beautiful mountains and beautiful waters, picturesque scenery, known as the "green castle" in the world. Yangzhou's classical gardens are not only good at the north, but also beautiful in the south, which has always been praised by Chinese and foreign tourists.

It has a total area of 5,848 square kilometers and a population of 5.1 million, including 59, people in the urban area. The old city of Taizhou is long and narrow from north to south and looks like a phoenix, so it is also called "Phoenix City".
Taizhou has an earlier land-forming history. According to the textual research of Neolithic cultural sites excavated in Qingdun, Hai 'an County, as early as the end of primitive society five or six thousand years ago, human beings lived here. In the first year of Shengyuan in the Southern Tang Dynasty (937), Hailing County was promoted to Taizhou, meaning Antai, and the name of Taizhou began here. Taizhou has convenient land and water transportation: the road from Jiangdu to Hai 'an passes through the urban area, where Nanguan River, _ Ting River, Qindong River and the old and new Tongyang Canal meet.
Taizhou is the hometown of Mr. Mei Lanfang, a master of Peking Opera in China, and also the famous anti-Japanese revolutionary base in northern Jiangsu in that year. General Chen Yi once commanded and led the heroic "Huangqiao Battle" here, and Huangqiao Sesame Cake is also famous for its victory.
Gaoyou is located in the Yangtze River Delta.
