Lianyungang Travel Guide in Jiangsu

🌈 Lianyungang is really a city that is "very un-Jiangsu-like"
Jiangsu doesn't have many islands, but here, there are groups of islands 🏝️
And there's the largest island in Jiangsu
I always thought Jiangsu had no beautiful seas
Until I went to Lianyungang, I found the sea here so blue
