In Gugua, where is it now?

Guazhou in ancient times is now Guazhou Town, which is located at the southernmost tip of Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province and belongs to Hanjiang District of Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province today. Guazhou is located at the intersection of the lower reaches of Yangzhou ancient canal and the Yangtze River. It was a famous Yangtze River ferry in Jin Dynasty, and it was the most prosperous in Tang Dynasty. This is the mouth of the ancient canal, located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, just like the throat of the north and south of the river, and is known as the "Jiangbei Ancient Town" and "Millennium Ancient Town".

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. Scholars of all ages traveled all over the world and often stayed here, leaving countless poems and masterpieces, which made Guazhou's reputation as an ancient ferry more widely spread. For example, Wang Anshi's famous "Boating Guazhou" in the Song Dynasty: "Guazhou in the mouth of Beijing is separated by a water, and Zhongshan is only separated by several mountains. The spring breeze is green in Jiang Nanan. When will the bright moon shine on me? "
