What do you mean by "the same as"? I mean which aspect do you refer to between them? Essentially, they are different places. Changzhou is in Jiangsu province and an ancient city with a long history. SH is a modern city.

Thank you so much Dylan. I was puzzled because flight tickets to or from Beijing also mentions PEKING, and those from or to Changzhou mentions CAN. What is the meaning of CAN?

Oh, Peking is another name of Beijing, and PEK accordingly refer to Beijing Capital Airport.

CAN refers to Guangzhou Baiyun Airport.

In fact Changzhou is not far away from SH city. However, SH is a bigger and more Internationalised one. In case of more detailed question and any other service please contact me.
