    Jiangsu is a province of China, which is comprised of 106 county-level units that are classified further into 13 prefecture-level cities.

Located in the downstream area of the Yangtze River along China eastern coastline, Jiangsu is known as the "country of fish and rice" and the "land of rivers and lakes".
