Xiaoyangkou Resort is the first provincial-level resort in Nantong and features a scenic coastal landscape and hot springs. With a large expanse of lush greenery, it is also an ideal place to escape the summer heat.

Lyusi fishing port is one of the four largest in China and produces over 2,000 varieties of seafood.
