The Qinhuai River is the cradle of Nanjing culture and is known for its reputation of having abundant cultural relics and being more prosperous than regions south of the Yangtze River; with outstanding literary grace and being unrivaled within the country. The Qinhuai River has also witnessed the history of Nanjing’s city construction, establishment of administrative divisions and serving as a capital.
There are numerous historical sites and allusions on both banks.
