Yangzhou recently released a tourism promotional video on CCTV's Discover the Beauty of China.

Huaiyang cuisine and breakfast tea make up the food culture in Yangzhou. The city was designated in 2019 as a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, making it the fourth city in China to win the title after Chengdu, Shunde and Macao.

​Yangzhou was where the journey of China's Grand Canal began, if you went by the book.
