City profile
A coastal and riverside city in Jiangsu, positioned on the north wing of the Yangtze River estuary and increasingly integrated with the Shanghai-Suzhou-Nantong growth corridor.
Nantong is bordered by the Yellow Sea and faces the Yangtze River. Cross-river bridges connect the city toward Suzhou and Shanghai, giving investors access to the Yangtze River Delta's supplier networks, consumer market and international services.
The city combines port logistics, export-oriented manufacturing, traditional strengths in textiles and construction, and a rising focus on intelligent manufacturing, new energy and future industries.
Nantong has earned national recognition in areas such as civilized city development, environmental protection, public sanitation, garden-city construction and public security.
As one of China's coastal port cities opened further to the outside world, Nantong is a practical base for manufacturers, traders, R&D teams and service providers seeking a Yangtze River Delta footprint.
