Xinghua is an ancient city with a history of more than 2,000 years, located in the hinterland of Lixia in central Jiangsu.
Rivers, lakes and harbors criss-cross and are as dense as cobwebs.
Because it is surrounded by water, the traffic is inconvenient and it is located in a remote place. There is a saying that "Zhaoyang has been avoiding soldiers since ancient times".
