Coastal city in northeastern Jiangsu — its name literally means "Salt City", from the imperial salt-production industry that once made it rich. Today it hosts the Yancheng Yellow Sea Wetlands (2019 UNESCO Natural Heritage), a key stopover on the East Asian-Australasian bird migration flyway, and China's only red-crowned crane and Père David's deer reserves. Also the site of Kia's joint-venture car plant.
