Qilong, a town in Qidong, Nantong, is a great place to enjoy some beautiful autumn scenery.

The town's natural wetland, one of China's last remaining national bird reserves, is home to many birds under state protection, including red-crowned cranes, white-head cranes, and whooper swans.

The expansive wetlands, flocks of birds, and clear sky create some beautiful scenery at sunrise. The Chongming-Qidong Bridge appears as a white ribbon over the Yangtze River.

Tall buildings are partly hidden behind the early morning mist, and when the mist drifts away, gold paddy fields glimmer in the sunlight.

A flat road stretches across the paddy fields and woods, adorned with white stones and red guardrails. It is known as the town's most beautiful road.

The town also grows oranges in an ecological park, attracting many visitors. Geese freely roam around the park in queue, welcoming visitors and protecting the oranges.
