Nantong is perfect for a "slower" weekend getaway: spend the morning taking in the scenery of the Haohe River water city, the afternoon at Langshan Mountain for river views, and the evening strolling along the riverbank or old streets. Leave some flexible time between attractions for a more comfortable experience than rushing from spot to spot. 🌿 We recommend starting at the Haohe River. A walk along the river connects the city's architecture, bridge shadows, greenery, and water, making it perfect for capturing reflections and slowing down your pace. Try to walk when the weather is pleasant; if you are traveling with elderly people or children, just pick a scenic section of the riverbank rather than trying to walk the entire loop. Langshan Mountain is best visited when you have plenty of energy. The climb requires some patience, but it rewards you with layered views of the river, sky, city, and trees. Wear comfortable shoes to make it easier, and check the weather before heading up. If it's muggy or raining, focus on the environment at the foot of the mountain and relax nearby—there's no need to force yourself to complete the entire route. ⛰️ To see a more authentic side of Nantong, include Tangzha Ancient Town or the old street area in your itinerary. The old buildings, canals, small bridges, and street-side shops are best enjoyed at a leisurely pace. 1–2 hours is sufficient. The fun here lies in the details, not in the number of places you check off, so feel free to stop whenever you see a storefront, window frame, or shop you like. For meals, prioritize small restaurants frequented by locals where you can understand the menu. Try the river seafood, noodles, and seasonal snacks, then decide whether to order more based on your taste. While areas around tourist attractions are usually more convenient, the options in the alleys have more local character. If you're on a budget, have your main meals in non-tourist areas and prepare some drinks and snacks in advance. For practical planning, we suggest a combination of public transport and short taxi rides: this saves energy when moving between districts, allowing you to walk slowly once you reach the riverbanks or ancient towns. Bring an umbrella and non-slip shoe covers for rainy days, and sun protection for sunny days. Save your return points and meeting locations on your phone in advance. 1 day is enough to cover the Haohe River, Langshan Mountain, and the riverside. With 2 days, you can add Tangzha, ensuring you have enough time to truly linger at each spot. 📷

🌈 When you first walk into Si Street, you might think it's just an ordinary old alley, with mottled gray-white walls, clothes drying overhead, and the scent of stinky tofu wafting from the alley entrance. Many people come here to eat a bite of the 30-year-old Zhang's Stinky Tofu, or buy a charcoal-grilled "straw sandal" sesame seed cake. Don't rush to eat yet; walk further into the alley. The depth of this street is much greater than its surface. 🎈 Walk a few steps and you'll discover that this short street actually hides the cultural heritage of Nantong. Here lies Tianning Temple, which predates the founding of Nantong city, and the former residence of Hu Changling, who became a top scholar. From the Ming and Qing dynasties to modern times, dozens of academicians and famous figures have come from this street. The bluestone slabs under your feet may have been walked upon by scholars in long gowns hundreds of years ago. But what moved me most about Si Street wasn't the prestige of these celebrities, but the story behind a door when I reached No. 71. 🎈 I stood for a long time in front of the secret liaison point of the Red 14th Army at No. 71 Si Street. A mother and daughter once lived here. The 20-year-old daughter, Zhu Wenying, in order to cover for underground party meetings, personally scouted the terrain in the alley and rented this room. Later, she was betrayed by a traitor, endured torture without yielding, and sacrificed her life in prison at the age of 20. What moved me the most was that after her daughter's sacrifice, her mother, Zhu Yao, who had bound feet, did not move away. She took over the liaison point, keeping watch at the alley entrance during the day, hiding secret documents late at night, and pawning clothes to buy food for her comrades. Looking at this quiet little alley, there might have been a little-footed old lady standing behind a door back then, nervously listening to footsteps outside. 🎈 Coming out of No. 71, I took a deep breath and continued walking. You will find new things growing at the base of the old walls: blue dye shops opened by young people, the aroma of coffee, and pottery studios. That harrowing history from just a moment ago and this quiet cup of coffee are only a few dozen meters apart. This is Si Street; it remembers what should be remembered for you, and then continues to let people live their lives well. 📍 How to get there: Take Metro Line 1 to Youyiqiao Station, Exit 5, and walk a few hundred meters ⏰ How to explore: We recommend setting aside 1.5–2 hours. Explore from south to north, and when you reach the Beijige City Wall ruins, you can conveniently stop by the Hao River to see the night view. 📸 How to take photos: We recommend wearing a qipao or plain-colored clothing. The old walls, alley entrances, and wooden doors of the exhibition halls are all very photogenic.

Standing at the boat dock of Nantong Haohe Scenic Area, I waited for the "Haohe Night Painting" painted boat. In the dusk, Haohe looks like a gentle jade belt, winding around Nantong's old town, reflecting the lights and ancient buildings on both banks. This ancient moat, built in 958 AD, has a history of over a thousand years and is one of the four remaining ancient moats in China, known as the "Jade Necklace of the River City." 🌙 🚢 Painted Boat Night Tour: Reading a City Amid Oar Sounds and Lantern Lights At 6:50 PM, the painted boat departed on time. The boat moved slowly forward, and the lights on both banks gradually lit up. Haohe was revitalized by technology—under Peace Bridge, colorful halos shimmered on the water surface, accompanied by soft music, while mist and lasers created a romantic light tunnel; passing by the southern city villa, a 40,000-lumen 3D architectural mapping show was playing on the century-old wall, vividly depicting the story of brothers Zhang Jian and Zhang Qia’s industrial revitalization, achieving a visual marvel of "paintings moving on the wall, shadows flowing in the water." The most stunning was the fan-shaped water screen in front of the Shen Embroidery Museum. The Shen Embroidery piece "Portrait of Actress Beike" was vividly presented through changing images, with ink embroidery shadows flowing between the night water screen. A "light dragon," controlled by an unmanned intelligent navigation system, roamed the water surface, its LED lights displaying golden yellow, purple red, cyan green, and other hues. This is the immersive live performance "Haohe Night Painting," officially operating from New Year's Day 2026, built around eight narrative chapters and twenty viewing scenes, creating a "navigable city light and shadow script." 🌿 Riverside Stroll: A Poetic Habitat Integrating City and Water During the day, Haohe shows a different charm. I strolled along the newly connected walkway, passing the Workers' Cultural Palace, Shen Shou Art Museum, Nantong Museum, City God Temple, Hao West Academy... natural scenery and cultural sites complement each other. The riverside path is flat and wide, shaded by trees, connecting dozens of attractions, and is stroller-friendly. Hao East Green Garden is known as the "city's green lung," with 70 ancient trees including five 500-year-old ginkgo trees. Standing on the waterside platform under Wenfeng Tower, I saw the clear mirror-like water of Haohe, with egrets occasionally skimming the surface. Across the river is the Nantong Museum, China’s first public museum founded by Mr. Zhang Jian. "Water embraces the city, the city embraces the water, city and water as one"—truly a fitting description. 🍜 Taste of Haohe: Old Nantong Flavors in Temple Streets and Alleys After playing, don’t miss the authentic local snacks around Haohe. Zhang’s Stinky Tofu (5 RMB) in the temple alleys has a unique flavor, Xiao Shi’s baked flatbread (5 RMB) is crispy and delicious, and the fresh meat mooncakes and green rice balls from Siyi Pastry Shop are favorites among Nantong locals. For a full meal, try the crab roe soup dumplings and osmanthus cake at Siyi Pastry Shop. 📌 Practical Information · Tested and Reliable 📍Address: No. 19 Haoxi Road, Chongchuan District, Nantong City, Jiangsu Province 🚇 Transportation: From downtown, take bus 41, 45, or 55 to "Haoxi Academy" stop, or take bus 7, the Haohe tourism loop line; for self-driving, navigate to "Haohe Scenic Area Parking Lot," with a reference price of 8 RMB/hour. 🕒 Opening Hours: The scenic area is open all day; visitor center services from 8:30 AM to 10:00 PM; boat tours run on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays (9:30 AM, 2:30 PM, 6:45 PM), no tours on Mondays and New Year's Eve. 🎫 Tickets: Scenic area is free; "Haohe Night Painting" boat tour costs about 60 RMB per person, advance booking via the "Charming Haohe" WeChat public account is recommended. ⏳ Duration: About 2-3 hours for daytime riverside walk plus museum visit, about 45 minutes for night tour; half a day to a full day is recommended for a leisurely visit. When the painted boat slowly docked, it was already past 8 PM. Looking back at Haohe in the dusk, the light dragon was still roaming the water, the Shen Embroidery water screen still flowing, with the sounds of oars, water, and faint Pingtan tunes in the distance.

Nantong Travelogue | Trip.com Travel Notes Trip duration: 2 days | Season: Autumn | Best for: Culture enthusiasts, slow-paced travelers Where the river meets the sea lies a low-key, gentle city—Nantong. It lacks the hustle and bustle of popular ancient cities, combining the grandeur of the Yangtze River with the gentleness of the river-sea plains. The legacy of modern industry is woven into its streets and alleys; a bite of river seafood and a glimpse into the past will slowly win you over. First stop: Nantong Museum, the first public museum built by Chinese people, founded by Mr. Zhang Jian. Red brick buildings paired with Jiangnan-style gardens, ancient trees and vines surrounding the courtyards, and the Haonan Villa standing quietly—the exhibits inside tell the story of saving the nation through industry in the late Qing Dynasty. Admission is free, but advance booking is required. It is closed on Mondays. Take a quiet stroll to feel the ideals and vision of a century ago. Just outside is the Hao River, an ancient moat that has circled the old city for a thousand years, known as Nantong's "emerald necklace." Stroll along the riverbank, where the Wenfeng Pagoda reflects on the water, bridge shadows are scattered, and the breeze brushes your face—it's leisurely and healing. In the afternoon, head to Wolf Mountain, known as the "First Mountain of the River and Sea." Although not very high, it is one of the eight small famous Buddhist mountains. Walk up the steps, past towering ancient trees, the lingering incense of Guangjiao Temple, and the Zhiyun Pagoda standing majestically at the summit. Reach the river-viewing platform to see the vast Yangtze River spread out before you, where the river and sky merge into one, offering a wide, open view. The tomb of Luo Binwang is also located on the mountain, blending natural scenery with cultural history. The climb is easy and suitable for all ages. In the evening, visit Temple Street, the roots of Nantong's old city. Bluestone alleys crisscross, old residences are scattered about, and it's not overly commercialized—full of local life. Find an old shop and try the Zhang family's stinky tofu, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. As night falls, experience a night cruise on a Hao River painted boat. Lights on both banks light up one by one, their reflections dancing on the water. As the boat glides along, listen to the boatman tell stories of the old city—the atmosphere is perfect. When in Nantong, you must try the authentic river and sea flavors. The crab roe soup dumplings have thin, translucent skins—carefully sip the delicious broth. Teppanyaki clams are known as the "world's freshest," tender and sweet. Xiting crispy cakes are layered and crunchy, making for an excellent souvenir. There are also clam cakes and Baipu dried tofu; every bite is a unique delicacy of the river and sea. If you have time, you can also visit Tangzha Ancient Town to explore modern industrial relics, old factories, and the old clock tower, all full of a retro, cinematic vibe. 📌 Travel Tips The Museum and Hao River are free; Wolf Mountain admission is CNY 45. Remember to book the Museum online. Metro and bus travel in the city is convenient, and attractions are not far from each other. River seafood is seasonal; it is recommended to choose local, long-established restaurants for a more authentic flavor. No need to rush your itinerary; Nantong is perfect for a slow stroll to feel the river breeze and the local life of the old city. The river and sea surge, and the cultural legacy runs deep. Nantong is a small city worth savoring with a calm heart, possessing both the grandeur of mountains and rivers and the warmth of daily life. Once you've been, you won't forget it.
