This region is largely Wu-speaking. This fertile Yangtze Delta is a treasure chest of China's historical heritage and rich ancient cultural relics; human inhabitants were discovered here 10,000 year ago. Many of its cities are over thousands of years old with Wuxi at 3000 years, Suzhou 2500 years, Nanjing 2400 years and Hangzhou 2200 years. Bordering Jiangsu and Zhejiang is the largest city of China, Shanghai AKA the "Pearl of the Orient". A gorgeous and prosperous harbour city with rich cultural resources of old versus new and east meets west. Shanghai is an icon of modern China and the symbol of China's bustling economy.

Although only constituting 5% of area in China, it has been historically responsible for a significant amount of the Chinese GDP. The intellectual life of Jiangnan has been highly distinguished throughout Chinese history and greatly influenced Chinese culture as a whole.
