Several well-built scenic rural roads in Haimen district, Nantong, connect the area's diverse landscapes.

Yuelin Line stretches straight ahead, flanked by two rows of tall metasequoia trees with dense branches. The occasional vehicle passes by, adding a touch of life to the quiet country road. Driving along it is like entering a natural green tunnel.
