This is the earliest self-run museum in China. As early as 195, Zhang Jian proposed to set up a museum, and also suggested that it be run by the state.

It's not as serious as a general museum, but more like a garden. This is exactly Zhang Jian's idea that the exhibition hall and the garden should be combined, with equal emphasis on indoor display and outdoor display, and static specimens and living animals and plants should be preserved.

Now the main exhibits have been transferred to the new blue-gray museum. Many collections were donated by Zhang Jian's family. There are many kinds of porcelain, jade, calligraphy and painting, and there are many fine works. Next to the museum is Haohe Bieye, Zhang Jian's former residence, a building combining Chinese and Western styles.

a mouthful of fresh Jiang can be the only reason to go to Nantong. It is bordered by the Yangtze River in the south and the Yellow Sea in the east, which makes Nantong have endless delicious fish all year round. The swordfish, puffer fish, _ fish and shad, which are the "four fresh foods in the Yangtze River", are must-taste delicacies, so you have to wait for a good opportunity to eat delicious fish.

before the Qingming festival, the swordfish was the most tender and melted in the mouth. After Qingming, the fish's hair and bones will harden and the taste will not be so good. Due to years of overfishing, the real swordfish is rare and expensive (about 1,5 yuan Jin), so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a luxury consumption. Generally, the "lake knife" and "sea knife" are used instead of what can be eaten in Jiangxian Museum.

Domestic puffer fish (28 yuan Jin) can be safely eaten, among which "Juhuang" is the top grade of puffer fish. When cauliflower and chrysanthemum bloom in spring and autumn, _ fish is the fattest and has no spines. The shad are basically extinct, and most of what can be eaten is artificially raised. In addition to the four fresh, _ fish, eel, salmon, perch and stickleback are also fresh enough.

Meilin Chunxiao, Langshan Sanxian Street and Wuyi Road Jiangxian Seafood Food Street near the Yangtze River can all taste authentic delicacies. Among the counties and cities under Nantong, Rudong is the first seafood town in China, and Lvsi Fishing Port in Qidong is one of the four major fishing ports in China, where you can eat little seafood such as Meretrix meretrix, Sole Solen, Xishigue, Pseudosciaena crocea and Portunus.

local people like to eat raw baked seafood, and if they eat it raw with distiller's grains, foreigners may not adapt to it, and it is easy to eat bad stomachs.
