I recommend a romantic, candlelit dinner date spot: the Xiushui Nianhua Ferris Wheel.

✨【Jiaxing·Xiushui Nianhua】A Fairy's Guide to the Water Town Wonderland✨ ——A healing journey of Hanfu boat rides, chasing clouds, and enjoying ethereal cuisine 🌿 **【Preface】** Jiaxing is the epitome of a gentle Jiangnan water town, and Xiushui Nianhua is its soul—with shimmering boats, whitewashed walls, and misty corridors. As a fairy, every frame here feels like a scene from an ancient painting! Here's an exclusive guide on how to turn your Jiaxing trip into a "xianxia drama." --- ### 🌸 **Day 1: Water and Clouds·A Fairy's First Encounter** **🌅 Morning Light|Chasing the Dawn at South Lake (Free)** - **How to Play**: Arrive at South Lake at 6 am. Dressed in a light-colored Hanfu, dance and twirl in front of the Misty Rain Tower on the island, capturing stunning "Lingbo Weibu" photos! - **Secret Spot**: The corner of the Diaoyuji wooden boardwalk, with the red boat and morning mist as your backdrop, adds +100% fairy vibes. **🍵 Morning|Yuehe Ancient Street (Free)** - **Must-Dos for Fairies**: ✅ Buy a lotus flower/round fan at "Flower and Bird Workshop" (CNY 10). Props acquired! ✅ Taste the rose bean paste zongzi at the "Zongzi Museum" (CNY 8). Sweet and glutinous, like fairy dew~ ✅ Order a pot of Hangbai chrysanthemum tea at a riverside teahouse (CNY 25) and watch the wupeng boats drift by. **🌙 Night|Xiushui Nianhua Ferris Wheel (CNY 60)** - **Magical Moment**: At 7:30 pm, step into a transparent cabin and ascend 88 meters. Watch the entire water town light up like a galaxy! Wear a flowing, sparkling dress and capture close-ups of your eyelashes with the flash. I've even got your social media caption ready: 💫 "I reached for the stars of Jiaxing, but lost my heart in the mortal world." --- ### 🌸 **Day 2: A Journey Through Paintings·Unlocking Hidden Realms** **🚣 Secret Waterway|Meihua Zhou Sculling Boat (CNY 80/person)** - **Hidden Route**: Ask the boatwoman to bypass the main river and turn into the wild reed marshes behind the Stone Buddha Temple. In April, wisteria flowers cascade over the bow of the boat. Don't forget to bring a Guzheng umbrella for photos! **🍜 Fairy Food|Zhen Zhen Lao Lao Chuan Ren Zong (CNY 30/person)** - **Secret Menu**: 🔮 The "Fermented Bean Curd Meat Zongzi" is bursting with flavor! 🔮 The "Osmanthus Honey Lotus Root" drizzled with sugar frosting is the perfect fairy afternoon tea. **🎋 Zen Surprise|Juehai Temple (Free)** - Hidden deep within the old streets, this ancient Tang Dynasty temple offers "red silk ribbons for marriage" (CNY 20). Making a wish under the ancient ginkgo tree is said to be very effective~ --- ### 📸 **Fairy Photo Tips** 1️⃣ **Outfit Metaphysics**: - Light green/lavender dresses = embody the water town essence - Oil-paper umbrella + pearl hairpin = moonlight goddess buff 2️⃣ **Light and Shadow Magic**: - On sunny days, from 3 pm to 5 pm, go to Fanli Lake Park to capture the "Tyndall effect through the covered bridge." - On rainy days, head straight to Meiwang Street. The wet bluestone slabs reflect like mirrors. A glance back while holding an umbrella transforms you into "Green Snake." --- ### 🏡 **Accommodation|Live in Poetry** - **High-End Fairy Abode**: 🌙 **Yuehe Inn** (CNY 500+): Carved bed with a waterfront balcony, accompanied by the sound of Pingtan at night. - **Budget-Friendly Cave**: 🌸 **Qinghe International Youth Hostel** (CNY 80/bed): The rooftop garden offers views of the church and canal. --- ### 💌 **Special Reminders for Fairies** ❶ After arriving at "Jiaxing South Railway Station," take Tram Line 1 directly to South Lake (super dreamy Japanese-style carriages!). ❷ Avoid weekends! Yuehe on Mondays feels like a private film set. ❸ While Xitang is beautiful, it's crowded. Meihua Zhou is the true hidden paradise. --- Jiaxing's gentleness is the first ripple pushed open by the sculling boat in the morning, the crystal curtain formed by raindrops on the eaves, and the golden richness that flows out when you bite into a zongzi... Fairies, go and fall in love with Jiangnan!
