The 2021 Nantong consumption month – a retail shopping promotion which is currently taking place in Nantong city, in East China's Jiangsu province – was launched on May 1.

The promotion is being sponsored by the Nantong Bureau of Commerce and is being undertaken by the Chongchuan district commerce bureau, the administrative committee of the Gangzha Economic Development Zone – or GZEDZ – as well as the Yongxing and Tianshenggang sub-districts.

It was launched at the Wanda Plaza, located in the Wulonghui business precinct.

Retail shopping promotions featuring various themes and forms have been rolled out in the city, to further stimulate the vitality of its markets and expand their potential.

The Wulonghui business precinct, located in the southeastern part of the GZEDZ, has attracted 200 medium and high-end enterprises to settle there.

Corporate residents now include the Wanda Plaza, Auchan, Sam's Club and IKEA. Acting as a sub-center for the Chongchuan district, the Gangzha Economic Development Zone reportedly aims to provide a top-flight retail experience for visitors.
