Twenty degrees Celsius, the perfect temperature to take a stroll in Chongchuan district, Nantong, East China's Jiangsu province. Without crowds of people, the district is quiet and comfortable.

Many people may not know that Nantong natives also love morning tea. Some may just order a bowl of hot noodles with a wide variety of toppings while some may have a dainty repast at a tea house with crab dumplings, noodles mixed with lard, and tofu pudding.

After a hearty breakfast, you can walk along the Haohe River, the most well-preserved city moat in China, along which stand more than 10 museums, each offering visitors a different experience.

If you are too tired to walk, you can find a coffee shop at any time along the river and order a cup of coffee before visiting the Yixiao and Yanglao roads to enjoy the special romance in autumn created by the fallen leaves of sycamore trees.

If you like sunsets, Wenfeng Park is recommended. Just find a bench to sit down on and appreciate the sunset while listening to the distant saxophone music.

After sunset, find a popular restaurant and try some fresh seafood or take a night cruise in the Haohe River.
