Four strange things in Nantong … Since ancient times：
1. No wolves in Wolf Hill.
2. No mountain in Kwan-yin Mountain.
3. Long bridge (now known as Zhongyuan Bridge) is not long
4. The south of Nantong is obstructed (South Yangtze River)
The biggest cable-stayed bridge, Sutong Bridge, which was designed independently by China, opened officially on June 30, 2008. Stretching across the Yangtze River and connecting Nantong city and Suzhou city of Jiangsu Province, its overall length reaches 32.4km. It consists of three parts, the bridge body whose main span is 1088 meters, the northern part and the southern part. The spacing of the main span, the depth of the base, the height of the main tower and the length of the cables all have set world records.
Changxing Island and Chongming Island lie in the Yangtze River estuary that flows through northern Shanghai. Opposite Chongming Island is Qidong city that is governed by Nantong, Jiangsu Province. After Chongqi Bridge, connecting Chongming Island and Qidong and dedicated to motor vehicles, opened on December 24, 2011, there were more routes from Shanghai Pudong Airport to Nantong; thus, it takes 2 hours from Shanghai Pudong Airport to Nantong Downtown. Starting from Shanghai Pudong Airport, going through Changxing tunnel to Changxing Island; going across the Yangtze Bridge to Chongming Island, crossing Chongqi Bridge, going through Qidong city, reach to Nantong.
