Jiangsu Tourism - China's First Modern City

🌸Nantong is a low-key prefecture-level city in Jiangsu. In ancient times, it was called "Tongzhou," and the word "Tong" (通) is enough to summarize the natural and cultural landscape here.⭐
🌸On the outskirts of Nantong's old city, there is a well-preserved ancient moat, the Hao River. This man-made canal is like a "jade necklace" surrounding the ancient city, and it has now become a 5A-level scenic spot in Nantong, adding a touch of brightness to the city.⭐
🌸Nantong is also known as "China's First Modern City." It was once home to new types of drama schools and textile schools, holding a high position in the history of modern culture, science, and education, and nurturing many accomplished scholars.🌸One of the founders of these schools, Zhang Jian, has a memorial hall in Nantong.⭐
🌸Nantong has also been rated as the world's first "City of Longevity." In addition to its beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, an important reason is that the local people in Nantong live a transparent life. Walking through the streets and alleys, you can see leisurely locals drinking tea or enjoying snacks, with happy smiles on their faces, as if they have no worries.⭐
