The Jiangsu Football City League, also known as Suchao, will kick off in Rugao, Nantong, on July 19. Outside the stadium, visitors are encouraged to discover Shuihui Garden, a poetic site with a 400-year history.

After the match, visitors can unwind at Shuihui Garden, an ideal spot to relax and immerse in local culture.

Shuihui Garden, constructed during the late Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), spans 270,000 square meters. It is renowned for its distinctive Anhui-style architecture and scenic water features. Celebrated as the "Number One Couple’s Garden Under Heaven", it is linked with the romantic tales of scholar Mao Pijiang and Dong Xiaowan. The garden also highlights a collection of ancient Rugao-style bonsai, including a 1,000-year-old cypress bonsai.
