Abstract

Jiangsu is a province of the PRC, located along the east coast of the country. It lies at the center of China’s east coast. It borders Shandong Province to the north, Anhui Province to the west, and Zhejiang Province and Shanghai Municipality to the south. It has a coastline of over 1,000 km along the Yellow Sea, and the Yangtze River passes through its southern parts. The name “Jiangsu” comes from Jiang, which is short for the city of Jiangning (now called Nanjing), and Su, short for the city of Suzhou. The abbreviation for this province is “Su”, the second character of its name.
