Yancheng Water Street is one of the city’s most iconic cultural attractions. Built around Yancheng’s historic sea-salt culture, the district recreates traditional canal-town architecture, bridges, pavilions, and cultural performances. The area is especially popular in the evening when illuminated lanterns reflect on the waterways, creating a charming atmosphere. Water Street also serves as a gateway to understanding Yancheng’s 2,000-year-old salt-production history and local folk culture.
