  Sit on a decorated boat, taste exquisite dessert, and enjoy the beautiful scenery on the two banks in the aroma of tea. Recently, Nantong launched a ‘mobile waterfront living room’, expanding social scenes to landscape, which has brought a new leisure and meeting experience to citizens and tourists.  

  Xu Xuezhong who drives the boat has nearly 40 years of driving experience. He said, ‘it takes about 45 minutes for one round, passing through dozens of bridge holes, and each one shows a different view.’

  Haohe Scenic Area provided 2 new energy steel cruises for the service. The cruise uses all-steel structure. It is 11.8m long and 3.6m wide. The moulded depth is 1.1m. Its design is simple and elegant. The cabin is spacious and bright, with solid timber floors and leather seats. The ship uses advanced environmental protection technology, achieving zero-emission and low-noise green voyage. It can provide high-quality experience for business reception and personal leisure tours. 

‘Currently the most booked slots are at night. Tourists prefer to come to the boat to drink tea and chat after dinner, and enjoy the night scene of the Hao River.’ A staff member introduced. 

  Apart from that, since 28th January 2022, Nantong has launched ‘Cihang Langshan’ water-based tourism project. The 7-km-long water tour route starts from Yingshan Lake of Langshan, passes Huangma Mountain, riverside Fanyin Square, Cihang Temple, Fanjing Bridge, Zilang Park, Yudai River, etc. The staff introduced that ‘Cihang Langshan’ water tour project has received in total more than 70,000 tourists since it was launched.
