Yenching was one of the most ancient cities in Donghua. It was founded more than eight centuries agoand was once the capital city.
The city's history was filled with strife and conflict, but at the same time, it was the birthplace of manyfamous heroes.
Standing strong against the tides of time, Yenching was the crown jewel of Donghua. Despite its statusas a globalized metropolis, Yenching had preserved most of its historical architecture.

To many people, Yenching was filled with dreams, opportunities, and endless possibilities…
