Nantong City View

Nantong, known as a "Pearl of the River and Sea", is a city with a history since the Chinese Han Dynasty. It has been found that primitive clan inhabitants lived in this region 5,000 years ago.

As one of China’s first fourteen coastal cities permitted to open to international trade and economy, Nantong has a national reputation of "the First Window on the Yangtze River" and is one of the national tourist centers. The city is listed on the China's Top 100 Counties (county-level cities) for its comprehensive strength in economy. With the completion of the Sutong (Suzhou-Nantong) Yangtze River Bridge in April 2008, the city is becoming the best city for its economic growth and foreign investments in the Yangtze Delta Economic Zone.

Nantong City is one of Jiangsu thirteen prefecture-level cities which administers two old municipal districts and 6 county-level cities or counties, including Hai'an and Rudong counties, Haiman, Qidong, Rugao and Tongzhou cities.

Mr Zhang Jian, a local prominent statesman, entrepreneur and philanthropist, founded Nantong’s first modern cotton mill in 1899. His pioneer enterprises finally developed into a business empire and were a solid foundation for Nantong for its later industrial modernization. More >>

Jiangsu's municipal subway systems
Posted by nickistin, 2013-04-16 23:37:24

Jiangsu has four cities that own their subway systems, calling metro rail network, but these systems have not been completed.

The Nanjing Metro has three lines: Line 1, 2 and 3, operated by the Nanjing Metro Company and more lines are under planning. Line 1 opened to public in September 2005 after five years of construction. In 2010, the south extension of Line 1 and the new metro Line 2 became available. Line 2 was designed to provide service of 500,000 passengers a day.  More are under construction now. Still remembering in 2010 there were a lot of construction sites on streets around its downtown Xinjiekou arer. Totally Nanjing currently has 85km of metro rail network, with plans to increase this to a couple of hundred km by 2030.
