As Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day approach, the Jiangsu provincial department of transport recommends 10 "most beautiful rural roads" to the public. The Kaisha Island travel route in Tongzhou district is included.

The route, located in Wujie town in Tongzhou district, is adjacent to the Yangtze river-side high-grade highway and the Shanghai-Suzhou-Nantong Yangtze River Bridge.

Centering on a local development concept combining rural road and slow-paced travel, a raft of scenic spots featuring "leisure, fishing, fruit picking, sports and delicacies" were constructed along the route, such as table tennis training bases, an RV campground and a Zen temple.

With exquisite landscape and rich natural resources, Kaisha Island is one of the most ecologically friendly islands in the Yangtze River basin. It has been honored as China's Most Beautiful Village, a Jiangsu Province Ecological Village (Town) and Jiangsu Province's Most Charming Village.
