Hanjiang District, Yangzhou

Hanjiangⓘ District (simplified Chinese: 邗江区; traditional Chinese: 邗江區; pinyin: Hánjiāng Qū) is one of three districts of Yangzhou, Jiangsu province, China. It is one of the two districts (along with Hanjiang District) that divide Yangzhou's main urban area. It includes roughly the western half of Yangzhou's central city (excluding, however, the historic center, which is in Hanjiang District), and adjacent suburbs. The Yangtze River and, in the northern suburbs, the Grand Canal of China, serve as the district's southern and eastern borders.
