All About Gaoyou City

This site was built as a hometown link for children adopted from Gaoyou and their families, but all are welcome to take a virtual tour of this historic city.

Established over two thousand years ago Gaoyou resides on the banks of the Grand Canal and the eastern shore of Gaoyou Lake. It has many historic landmarks including the Yucheng Post Museum, the largest and best preserved example of an ancient courier station in China.

Gaoyou is also a modern city equipped with all the modern conveniences a tourist or businessperson could want. The city leaders have also made the city friendly to business with a number of special economic zones and a thriving garment industry.

Note: This site is a labor of love not a source of income. You won't find any outside advertising here, but I do encourage all to support the charities working in Gaoyou; the Half the Sky Foundation, The Homeland Children's Foundation, and A Child's Right.
