Guangling is the center of Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China, and is the administrative, cultural and commercial core of Yangzhou. Its name originates from Guangling County, which was established in the Han Dynasty, and it has a history of more than 2,500 years since the founding of the city, and is the centerpiece of the culture of Yangzhou's ancient city. The area is home to world heritage sites and national cultural relics protection units such as Slender West Lake, the Garden of Virtue, and the Garden of He, and is characterized by a blend of classical gardens, salt merchant culture, and canal heritage. As an important node along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Guangling District continues the prosperous tradition of being the "Famous Capital of Huazuo", and has now become a cultural tourism destination integrating historical districts, traditional handicrafts (e.g., lacquer ware, jade carving) and modern service industries.
Guangling District has convenient transportation, forming a 1-hour economic circle with Nanjing and Shanghai through the Lianhuaiyangzhen High Speed Railway, and the Yangtai International Airport provides domestic and international flight services. The economy is dominated by cultural tourism, modern services and high-tech industries, with the Wenchangge Business District and Dongguan Street Historical and Cultural Neighborhood as the regional commercial core. Guangling is still the birthplace and main production base of Yangzhou buns, where the traditional culinary culture and modern industrial system develop synergistically.
