In early summer, a poetic scroll of mountains, rivers, ancient cities, and canals unfolds in Chongchuan, Nantong. Experience the city like never before through these three distinctive cycling routes.
Route 1: Green Wilderness & River Breeze
Shanshui Road → Gongnong South Road → Junshan Road
This route encircles the Junshan Mountain, meandering along the border of the city and forest, with dense trees shielding riders from the hustle and bustle. Ideal for novice riders, the route is well-equipped with cycling stations and parking lots.
At the riverside viewing platform, the Yangtze River stretches like a silver ribbon, with cargo ships gliding slowly by. At dusk, the setting sun dyes the river surface orange-red, the splendid colors emitting a sense of warmth.
