An Important Port City in East China
In the famous Chinese classical novel Journey to the West (also known as Pilgrim to the West), there is a mountain city named Lianyungang, not far from the sea, embraced by mist and clouds. It is said to be the 'hometown' of the Monkey King, the hero of the novel. Located in the northeast part of Jiangsu Province, Lianyungang faces to Korean Peninsula and Japan to the east over the Huanghai Sea (Yellow Sea), neighboring Xuzhou to the west, and Shandong Province to the north. The development of Lianyungang depends on Lianyun Port to some extent. The port is the largest seaport in Jiangsu and has opened 50 routes to the world's major ports. Lianyungang is awarded the title of Chinese crystal capital as the world's natural crystal raw material distribution center is just situated in Donghai County. As for tourism, the spectacular sea view, green and lush mountains and rich cultural relics will provide visitors a wonderful trip. April to October is the best time to visit Lianyungang.
