The Spring and Autumn Period Yancheng Tourist Area, located in the central urban area of ​​Wujin District, is a scenic area themed around the Spring and Autumn Period culture. Archaeological evidence confirms that the Yancheng site dates back over 2700 years, renowned for its unique "three cities and three rivers" city layout. It is the best-preserved surface city site from the Spring and Autumn Period in China to date, and is hailed as a "living fossil of Spring and Autumn Culture." What is "Yancheng"? One theory is that during the late Shang and early Zhou dynasties, the ruler of the Yan state migrated south, and the Yan ruler led his people to build a city here. In ancient times, "Yan" and "Yan" were interchangeable. Another theory is that during the late Spring and Autumn Period, Ji Zha, a prince of the Wu state, built a city in his fiefdom of Yanling to demonstrate his determination to remain there.
