Nantong Attractions

Nantong lies in the southeast of the province of Jiangsu, on the northern bank of the estuary of the Changjiang. It can be reached by river-boat from Shanghai in six hours, while there are connections by both bus and water with the provincial capital Nanjing.

Although Nantong can boast a history stretching back a thousand years, it remained until the 1950s a quiet backwater with only a few thousand inhabitants. Today, however, it has become an important industrial center in the province of Jiangsu.
