It takes about 2H 30 Mins from SHANGHAI to NANTONG by bus, I was getting used to do it to go to the manufactory from last April. I remembered about five to eight years ago I was working at company, At that time I needed to take the boat to crass the river of the ChangjiNG River. We started to dive the car to Changsu take about 1H30 Mins at first, and then change to the boat need about 30 Mins go to the other side of the Changjiang River. If we had bad luck, And met the foggy or with the car crowed ,We had to wait for several hours to crass the river,so I couldn’t know how many times I needed from Shanghai to Nantong before. Mostly recent I felt more and more convenient to go to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang by train ,or diving the car could take the high way also more and more quicker to every where than before. It was the most developed of China as a citizen that I can feel directly.
