Where does Guazhou belong to Yangzhou today?

Guazhou Town belongs to Hanjiang District, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province.

Guazhou, located at the intersection of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Yangtze River, is one of the important passages for the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to enter the Yangtze River, and is a "north-south crossroads". "Looking at Jingkou, Jiankang, International Sea and Jinjiang, there are millions of waterwheels every year, and people who participate in hundreds of state trade will stop here in an endless stream, so both the north and the south will benefit."

Guazhou is also an ancient town with a long history and rich cultural heritage. Many cultural celebrities have left ink marks here. In the Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi's masterpiece "Dengguazhou" said: "Guazhou at the mouth of Beijing is separated by several mountains. The spring breeze is green in Jiang Nanan. When will the bright moon shine on me? " This is the place to talk.

Lu You's Trouble Book also mentioned that "the night snows in the building, and the iron horse is scattered in the autumn wind". The story of Du Shiniang's anger and sinking her treasure chest has been widely circulated for hundreds of years.
