A few suggestions:

1. The culture of Jiangsu is closely tied to the silk industry, salt merchants and classical gardens.

2. Jiangsu is home to various lakes and rivers, giving rise to its water towns and delicacies such as hairy crabs.

3. The delta of the Yangtze is located southeast of Jiangsu. The Huai River also enters the sea at Jiangsu. Lake Tai is the third-largest freshwater later in China.

4. Jiangsu is the second-largest province in China in terms of GDP and population.

Otherwise, great quiz and great series! Thanks for including so much historical information.
