The severely underestimated city in Jiangsu: Nantong

Nantong can be said to be a severely underestimated city in Jiangsu. Here, there is a mountain, a river, a person, and a city. This time we didn't go to that mountain, but we experienced the people and the city by the water. The scenery on both sides of the Hao River is endless. Although it is not as elegant as the gardens in Suzhou on the opposite bank, it is not lacking in charm. The Hao River in Nantong is one of the most well-preserved ancient moats in China. It is recorded in the history that in the fifth year of Xian De of the Later Zhou Dynasty (AD 958), the five pavilions of 'Long Rainbow, Moon Viewing, Fish Joy, Hao Pu, and Xun Wind' floated on the blue waves, dreamlike. Located on the bank of the Hao River is the first public museum independently established by the Chinese, the first batch of national first-class museums, and the national AAAAA-level tourist attraction, founded by Zhang Jian, a pioneer of early modernization in China and a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. The museum has long-term exhibitions on Mr. Zhang Jian's integrity thought, and currently there is a Nantong furniture making skills exhibition on display. In addition to this, I am more interested in the Jianghai Cetacean Biological Resources Special Exhibition Hall. There is a lot of knowledge and specimens about whales, which is very interesting and good for taking pictures. The exterior of the museum is like a small park, with many locals relaxing and strolling here every day. Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday (closed on Monday) Address: No. 19, Haonan Road, Chongchuan District, Nantong City, Jiangsu Province. Nearby, there are also very characteristic theme museums such as the Blue Calico Museum, the Audit Museum, and the Abacus Museum, especially worth mentioning is Zhang Jian's former residence, which is very characteristic.

Nantong D-level tourist attractions

Nantong Historical evolution Jin: Rugao, Putao, Linjiang, Ninghai 4 counties, belong to Hailing County Southern and Northern Dynasties: Hai'an County was added Sui: All county-level constructions were abolished Tang: Hai'an County belongs to Yangzhou, Rugao County belongs to Taizhou Later Zhou: Set up Jinghai Army, promoted to Tongzhou, led Jinghai County and Haimen County, belonged to Yangzhou Song: Changed Tongzhou to Chongzhou, and then renamed Tongzhou Yuan: Promoted Tongzhou to Tongzhou Road Ming: Abolished Jinghai County, Tongzhou directly ruled Jinghai, led Haimen County Qing: Tongzhou was promoted to a directly ruled state, leading Taixing County and Rugao County, belonging to Jiangsu Governor Today's Nantong City governs Chongchuan District, Tongzhou District, Haimen District, Rudong County, Qidong City, Rugao City, and Hai'an City. 'One mountain, one water, one person': Wolf Mountain, Hao River, Zhang Jian Zhang Jian: At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the champion, abandoned official business, and Zhang Jian, who saved the country with industry, used foreign technology management and national capital to promote the industrial, agricultural and financial development of Nantong, and then used the income from industry to run education, repair water conservancy and build municipal administration, realizing the urban modernization of Nantong. Nantong is a model of modern national industrial development and urban construction, known as the 'first city of modern times'. It is different from the concession cities and port cities built by foreign capital in modern times, or the cities built by bureaucratic capital based on national defense construction needs. Nantong was lucky to avoid the wars of modern times, the layout of the ancient city, the moat (Hao River), the inner city, the factories, buildings, private gardens, schools, etc. a hundred years ago have been preserved. Hao River: The moat of the ancient city, feels like Yangzhou, the river side gathers modern industry and architecture, and it is like various port cities. The connected building form of the bell tower in the city is also unique to the innovation of national capital. Walking in the inner city, parks, buildings, waterways, bridges from a hundred years ago can be seen everywhere. Among them, Nantong Museum is based on the museum opened by Zhang Jian a hundred years ago and his own private residence and garden. The garden is simple, elegant, and quiet. I have never seen similar ones in other places, I super like it... Wolf Mountain: You can overlook the mouth of the Yangtze River. It is said to be a mountain, but it is actually a small hillside. For more than two thousand years, the impact of the Yangtze River has allowed Nantong's territory to accumulate from the sea and river surface, connecting the sandbars with the inland. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the land collapsed, Haimen County sank to the bottom of the river, and then rose again, until today's geographical conditions... It is said on the Internet that Nantong is the last and unique in Jiangsu tourism, I dare not agree.
