Yangzhou City, Linjiang Palace.
This was the city where the main storyline of the Twin Dragons Secret Realm began, as well as the Jiangnan imperial residence built by Emperor Yang Guang of Sui.
The imperial garden alone covered several thousand mu. It was filled with countless varieties of dazzling exotic flowers, while artificial mountains and stone forests formed from natural boulders stood amid the sea of blooms, grand and beautiful beyond compare.
