The number of coffee brands from Nantong has increased in Chongchuan, and they have been gaining in popularity among young people.

One of them is CC Coffee, which is located in the Innovation Park. Making use of its business park location, the coffee shop has customized its space to cater to the needs of consumers, including providing comfortable office sofas, meeting tables, a versatile hall, and even private booths.

The increase in coffee consumption in Chongchuan mirrors the rapid economic development in the area.

According to a list of China's top 100 districts in 2023 released by CCID Consulting in early August, Chongchuan secured the 37th spot nationally and stood at the sixth position within the province.
