Coming down from Wenbi Pagoda, out of the south gate of Hongmei Park, Dongpo Park is not far away, which is a Jiangnan garden integrating scenic spots and historical sites and natural scenery. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Changzhou built the "Zhouzhou Pavilion" to commemorate Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, who came to visit and moored ships here. During the southern tour of Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong in Qing Dynasty, Wanshou Pavilion was built here and Ganzhou Pavilion was rebuilt. Qianzhou Pavilion was originally named Wenchengba. It is said that Changzhou has always been rich in humanities. In order to prevent Changzhou's talents from flowing eastward, a dam was built on the ancient canal to make the river flow eastward around a big bend. Su Dongpo went to Changzhou 1 1 times and finally died in Changzhou. However, he actually tied the boat here only twice. On one occasion, 1073, he went to Zhenjiang from Hangzhou Changzhou. On New Year's Eve, he wrote a poem "Except for Spending the Night in Changzhou" in the eastern suburb outside the city of Gu Zhou Ye Su. The other time was at 1 10 1. After returning from Hainan, he lived in Sun Shi Pavilion at Qiaotou, gutang. The day he was ill, it was sultry.

At this time, the audience on the shore was blocked and the whole city was sensational.

After 3,000 years of ups and downs, what is left is the masterpiece of nature: the clear water filled with water in the south of the Yangtze River, the geometric monuments left by Woye for thousands of years, and many splendid cultures of the Chinese nation are hidden underground. People here have a saying: "See Beijing in Ming and Qing Dynasties, Xi 'an in Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Yancheng in Spring and Autumn". It can be seen that "Yancheng" has an extraordinary attraction in people's hearts.
Since 1958, a large number of geometrically imprinted pottery pots, jars, urns, bowls and bronzes (such as bronze bells and bronze dings) have been unearthed in Yancheng.
