A seaside small town near Shanghai recommended by National Geographic

After staying in Nanjing for a long time, I wanted to find a quiet place to relax~ Took the high-speed train heading east and visited a treasure small town forgotten by time, Qidong~ Walking early in the morning on the freshest road, along the Yangtze River and the sea all the way to Yuantoujiao, watching the confluence of the Yangtze River➕Yellow River➕East China Sea~ At the moment of sunrise, "sunrise over the river and sea" is no longer just words in a book~ . This road not only shows the most beautiful morning of the river and sea but also reveals the story of this small town growing up in the waves~ These two days of wandering felt so relaxing~ 👉🏻If you want to find a place to clear your mind, this might just be the small town you are looking for~ . 🚶【My two-day one-night travel route】 ▪️𝐃𝐚𝐲❶•Cloudy Arrive at Qidong➠Memorial Hall of the Ninth Branch School of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University➠Former Site of Tonghai Reclamation and Animal Husbandry Company➠Baiyuan Howard Johnson Hotel 📍Memorial Hall of the Ninth Branch School of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University Walking in the courtyard surrounded by autumn colors, watching the ginkgo leaves fall, feeling the passionate years of that era~ 📍Former Site of Tonghai Reclamation and Animal Husbandry Company Learn about the story of Zhang Jian founding the "first agricultural reclamation stock" and the pioneer of modern agricultural development~ The blue brick and black tile buildings look like an ink painting on a cloudy day, perfect for photos~ 📍Baiyuan Howard Johnson Hotel This place feels like an art space hidden between the river and sea, embedding the local river and sea atmosphere and cultural heritage into every detail~ Have a bowl of Qidong’s special fish soup noodles in the morning, take a bath at night while watching the twinkling fishing lights outside the window, close to Lüsi Fishing Port, convenient for going out to see the sunrise over the river and sea~ . ▪️𝐃𝐚𝐲❷•Cloudy Lüsi Fishing Port➠Freshest Road (Xianyu Town)➠Return trip 📍Lüsi Fishing Port Cool early morning, watching fishing boats return to port, the air filled with the scent of the sea and the joy of harvest~ 📍Freshest Road (Xianyu Town) Walk slowly along the sea dike, sit in a small street restaurant, enjoy the autumn breeze and eat seafood~
