Yancheng - literally "Salt City"- is named for the many sea salt harvest fields around the city in northeastern Jiangsu province. Collection and production of sea salt in the region began during the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC - AD 24), which brought early prosperity to the region.
"We are making full use of our geographical advantages. This will boost our port construction program, which will, in turn, act as a massive spur for the overall development of Dafeng city itself," says Ni Xiangrong, director of the administrative committee of the Dafeng port economic zone.
