So many attractions in Jiangsu and no time to see them all? Don't worry—this video on Jiangsu's most popular spots highlights the very best.

Jiangsu is full of scenic landscapes. This video on the province's most popular spots guides you to the top attractions across several cities. Nanjing's Purple Mountain Scenic Area holds the entire history of Jinling, and from the summit you can take in the whole city. Suzhou's gardens are the finest features of Jiangnan: Humble Administrator's Garden perfects the use of water, while Lingering Garden is small but packed with highlights. Huishan Ancient Town in Wuxi is quiet and rustic; Jichang Garden borrows scenery from Mount Hui, and from Zhiyu Pavilion you can look up to see green peaks. At Yuantouzhu (Turtle Head Isle), cherry blossoms blanket the hills in pink and white, and a boat ride to Lake Tai Fairy Island reveals waters as broad as the sea. Yangzhou's Dongguan Street comes alive at night, and Ge Garden uses stones of four colors to build rockeries representing spring, summer, autumn and winter. Tianmu Lake in Liyang, Changzhou is crystal clear, while Nanshan Bamboo Sea spreads 30,000 mu of bamboo across the hillsides. In Hexia Ancient Town, Huai'an, wooden doors and windows still look as they did in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Wu Cheng'en's former residence bears traces of Journey to the West. Slender West Lake's Twenty-Four Bridges have been beautiful for a thousand years thanks to Du Mu's poem, and the fifteen arches of Five-Pavilion Bridge play off their reflections in the water. Zhouzhuang in Suzhou is the textbook image of a water town. On Mount Huaguo in Lianyungang, Water Curtain Cave waterfall cascades down the cliff, the Jade Maiden statue atop Jade Maiden Peak seems to flutter in the breeze, and the thousand-year-old ginkgo before Sanyuan Palace carpets the ground in gold each autumn. Pick two or three favorites, take your time, and let every step land in the poetry of Jiangsu.
