About Yancheng
Yancheng, whose name literally means "Salt City", was founded in 119 BC named after the salt harvest fields that surround the city. The city’s name, meaning “Salt City,” reflects its historical role as a major salt-producing center. Yancheng is home to the world’s largest coastal wetlands and is a haven for rare bird species, including the endangered red-crowned crane and the milu deer. With a blend of historical sites, natural beauty, and cultural heritage, Yancheng is an ideal destination for eco-tourism and nature lovers. The best times to visit are in spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is mild.
