1 Nantong Culture Square Nantong Culture Square is located at the east of west Hao River, covering an area of 20,000 square meters. There is a big water stage on the river surrounded with musical fountains and spotlights. At night, the square turns into a sea of lights with about 3,000 lights on.

2 Nantong Haoxi Academy Haoxi Academy is located at north Hao River, which is a perfect place to enjoy lantern shows. Different kinds of lanterns are set up with the help of modern technologies, adding enormous charm to the academy.

3 Nantong Sports Park The park covers an area of 65,000 square meters, which can be divided into seven sectors, namely the theme square, the sports museum, the swimming pool, the public gym, and the water entertainment zone. There are two main theme parks. One is the Olympic road, which is a winding riverside path with many memorial statues of Olympic winners and world champion winners from Nantong. The other is a museum, which represents Nantong’s reputation of “pearl of river and sea”. The museum’s dome is made of glass, so that it forms a giant sphere when twilight comes and the lights are on.
