NAN HE TONG

Came here on January 11, 2025. This restaurant is a local home-style restaurant on the Nantong Must-Eat List, and it was on the way back to Shanghai, so I naturally stopped by. It can be said that it is worth a visit. As soon as I arrived at the store, the "old-fashioned" style decoration inside and outside the store made people feel immersed in the drama in a second. The whole store restored the street scene of Nantong in the 1980s, which was very old-fashioned. The dishes on the menu are mostly based on Nantong's traditional classic home-style dishes. Of course, there are also many new cooking methods, and the taste is very delicious. The most impressive ones are the 99-second yellow croaker and the mountain spring water original juice clams, which just proves the saying that "good ingredients often only need simple cooking." Some other dishes are also very good. Nantong's dishes are very similar to Shanghai, but here you can taste the characteristics of Nantong. The service of this restaurant is also very good. Although the store is busy, the waiters can still respond to customers' needs in the first time. You don't have to worry about parking when dining at this restaurant. There are plenty of parking spaces where the restaurant is located, and you can enjoy 3 hours of free parking when dining in the restaurant. Just take care of it at the cashier before leaving.

The environment and decoration are very good. Nantong specialties are worth a try. I will come again if I have the chance.

"Who understands! Melting hot and yet so crowded?" A special forces soldier who just returned from Nantong shares his real-life experience! A complete guide to budgeting, itineraries, and food to avoid pitfalls 👇 ------ 💰 [Budget Truth] 3 days and 2 nights for 800-1500 RMB per person (not the "rich version"). • Transportation: Subway and bus to city attractions (2 RMB each way). Use the app to book taxis to avoid rip-offs. For trips to Qidong/Rugao, hitchhiking is recommended (50 RMB per person). Don't miss out on the last bus! • Accommodation: Budget hotels near Haohe River/Nandajie (200 RMB/night). Avoid the old city's air conditioning fee scams (ask if this includes central air conditioning). • Tickets: ✅ Free treasures: Haohe River Scenic Area (open 24 hours), Nantong Museum (closed on Mondays; Zhang Jian's Former Residence is accessible). ❌ Big pitfall: Climbing the Wangjiang Terrace on Wolf Mountain is an additional 20 RMB! A combined ticket of 100 yuan, including Junshan, is a better deal. ------ ⚠️ [Attractions Hot and Black List] 🔥 Confidently: 1. Haohe River Night Cruise (80 yuan): Stay on the official boat! The last boat leaves at 6:45 PM. Take photos of the lights and the starry sky from the deck. 🌌 Don't trust private boats that only circle the river and return. 2. Shuihui Garden (free reservations): Wear Hanfu for photos reminiscent of Dong Xiaowan. The bonsai exhibition is at its best in April and May, but the vibrant greenery still makes for great photos in August. 📸 3. Golden Beach (50 yuan): Go after 4 PM! Ride a cow to dig for clams. 🐚 Take stunning sunset photos of the fiery clouds (bring a bucket of salt for catching razor clams). 💣 Lightning Warning: • Langshan Scenic Area: Arrive before 8 AM! Otherwise, the tour groups will overwhelm you. While the river view from the top is beautiful, the moss on the mountaintop is slippery, so be careful of falls. • Haimen Science and Technology Museum: Closed on Tuesdays! Rated only 3.0, don't make a special trip for this place because the exhibits are old. • Blue Sea and White Sand (50 yuan): Artificial beach and expensive swimming pool are not as good as the free wild beach. ------ 🚶‍♀️ [3-Day Summer Escape Itinerary] Day 1: Literary City Walk Morning: Nantong Museum (AC, bring a jacket!) → Indigo Print Museum (Intangible Cultural Heritage Handicrafts) Afternoon: Haohe River Circular Trail (lots of shade 🌳) → Stinky Tofu on Temple Street (look for the old shops with gray and white wooden signs!) Night Tour: Official Haohe River Cruise → Tangzha Ancient Town for industrial-style night views Day 2: Mountain and Sea Healing Day 5:30 AM Langshan Summit (Sunrise and Crowd Relief) → Riverside Park for the River Breeze (Leave before 5 PM, poor night lighting ⚠️) Afternoon Self-Drive to Golden Beach (Buy your beach-hunting gear online in advance! The scenic area is twice as expensive) → Yulong Temple Pagoda Silhouette DAY 3: Hidden Gem Hunt Option A: Rugao Route Shuihui Garden → Pingyuanchi Village (Take a train through a thousand-acre lotus pond) → Learn bonsai pruning at Guzhuang Village Option B: Qidong Route Golden Beach → Evergrande Venice (Free ocean view, don't buy a pool ticket!) → Seafood at Lüshi Fishing Port ------ 🦀 [Food Tips] ✅ Eat with Your Eyes Closed: • Nanhetong Food Stall: 99-Second Yellow Croaker + Shrimp Paste Steamed Buns! A local must-try, perfect for retro photo ops • Street Clam Pancakes: 10 yuan/portion at a small alley stall, crispy, fragrant, and tender! Pair with crab roe soup dumplings from Siyi Cake Shop (juicy warning!) • Sister Lan Seafood: Perfect for banquets by the Hao River! Stir-fried clams with scallions and ginger + Lusi oil-fried hairtail, fresh and affordable. ❌ Don't touch: • "Rugao Ham Gift Box" in the scenic area: priced at 58 yuan in the supermarket, it turns into 68 yuan at checkout! Bulk at Duanpingqiao Market is 28 yuan per jin. • Cold Stinky Tofu: Those with sensitive stomachs can instantly become jet-fighters! Opt for the hot-fried osmanthus wine-fermented version for a safer experience. ------ 🌟 Ultimate Tips: 1. Sunscreen + Mosquito Repellent: August feels like 40°C! Sun protection hats and sleeves are a lifesaver. In the Hao River, mosquitoes are common, so bring Thai herbal balm. 2. Heavy Rain Warning: Follow the "Nantong Baishitong" mini-app. Stay away from large trees and billboards during thunderstorms! 3. Consumer Protection Hotline: Call 12345 for consumer disputes; it's more effective than arguing! "Nantong is beautiful, but August and September are a real test of endurance!" Avoid weekends + leave early and return late = save 300 yuan per person 💸 Save this post, and you're the one braving the heat! 💪 #MyLegoland #Lilo & Stitch #SonglikeJourney

Nantong, the "first city in modern China", has the incense of Langshan Zen Temple on the left, the oars and lights of the night boats on the Haohe River on the right, and the crab soup dumplings in the old street are so delicious that you can suck your fingers - 300 yuan per person for food, accommodation and entertainment! The new gameplay will be upgraded in 2025, and this lazy guide will be copied directly~ 🔥 Must-check-in six consecutive hits (tested by yourself and don’t cry about poverty) 1. Climb to the top of Langshan to embrace the river and sea: 45 yuan to rush to the "first mountain of the river and sea"! Standing under the Zhiyun Tower of Guangjiao Temple, watch the Yangtze River like a golden dragon entering the sea, and feed koi at the foot of the mountain for good luck (avoid the crowd at 7 am, and vegetarian food is 10 yuan for fullness). 2. Chasing the light on the night boat on the Haohe River: 60 yuan to cross the thousand-year-old moat! Take a painting boat to drill through the Wenfeng Tower, the lights illuminate the old buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the swaying water shadows are like the flowing "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". 3. Play through time at Nantong Museum: Free to understand modern history! The first museum in China founded by Zhang Jian, wear a long gown to take retro photos in the Republic of China Museum, and listen to the story of industrial salvation a hundred years ago under the wisteria trellis (closed on Mondays, don't miss it). 4. Take industrial style photos in Tangzha Ancient Town: break into the "cradle of modern industry"! Touch the century-old gears at Dasheng Wharf, drink hand-brewed coffee in front of the red brick clock tower, and buy blue printed cloth in the cultural and creative store converted from a gallery warehouse. 5. Shuihuiyuan is Jiangnan CP: 45 yuan to unlock the "holy land of love"! Row through the pavilion where Dong Xiaowan lived in seclusion, taste tea and listen to Kunqu Opera in Hanbitang, and wear Hanfu and stand in Shuiming Tower to become a talented scholar and a beautiful woman in seconds. 6. Feed cute deer in Seyuan for oxygen: 18 yuan to break into the "urban green lung"! Picnic under the century-old trees, take French blockbusters in the tulip sea, and parents and children feed carrots to the deer garden (bring your own to save money). 🦀 Guide for the Crazy Aboriginal Stomach Rush Breakfast code: "Crab roe soup dumplings + crispy fish noodles!" The glutinous rice dumplings at Siyi Cake Shop are greasy, and are served with ginger tea to dispel the cold (10 yuan to wake up the morning); Must-buy at the night market: Temple Street fried dumplings are golden, Lushi Port clam cakes are fresh, and the drunken mud snails at Nanhetong food stalls are refreshing with ice beer; Sweet tooth: Straw sandal bottom biscuits (pepper salt sesame crisp), Shigang rice cake with bean paste filling, 5 yuan to eat the old Nantong flavor. 🚲 Lazy itinerary copy homework Day1: Climb to the top of Langshan Mountain → Night tour of Haohe River → Eat dumplings at Temple Street; Day2: Take photos of the Republic of China style in the museum → Explore cultural and creative products in Tangzha Ancient Town → Feed the deer in Seyuan → Return with two boxes of Xiting crispy biscuits (20 yuan/bag in the old street, don't buy in the scenic area). 💡 Tips from an experienced person ✅ Stay at a B&B by the Hao River, 150 yuan/night. You can see the river from the window, and it is super delicious to walk to the night market; ✅ Transportation tool: Scan the code to ride a "Dingda" bicycle, and travel around the old city for 1 yuan; ✅ Key points to avoid scams: → Take the 19:30 Hao River cruise, avoid the tour groups and watch the light show; → Be careful when buying "consecration souvenirs" at the foot of Langshan Mountain! The mushroom noodles in the vegetarian restaurant are more substantial.
