Stroll along Minzao River to soak up Nantong's authentic local vibes! This age-old waterway pulses with daily life — at dawn watch grannies washing clothes on stone steps, by dusk join locals walking past snack stalls. Don't miss steaming lotus root stuffed with sticky rice, its sweetness mingling with the river breeze. Those occasional wooden boats? They've been gliding to the city's unhurried rhythm for generations.
