Stay in the real Jiangnan! Open the window to an ink-wash painting of a water town

Visit Jiaxing in early summer to experience the charm of Jiangnan's water towns 🛶 Compared to Wuzhen and Xitang, it's more tranquil here—cobblestone paths, gray-tiled houses, and small bridges over flowing streams, like a living ink-wash painting…☔️ The rainy season adds even more atmosphere. The inn is located in the Yuehe Historical Block, full of antique charm. I stayed in a riverside room with a terrace overlooking old streets, alleys, and gray-brick houses. Sitting outside sipping tea 🍵 while watching the drizzling rain was so peaceful and delightful 😌 The hotel has a restaurant where you can order meals. Dinner at Yuebo Lou 🍴 with its floor-to-ceiling windows made the nighttime scenery absolutely magical. The Cantonese-style dishes suited my taste perfectly. 🌈🌈 Nearby attractions: Yuehe Old Street ✅ Zongzi Culture Museum Learn about the history and evolution of zongzi and taste freshly wrapped "Zhenzhen Laolao" zongzi 🫔 ✅ Flower and Bird Market Filled with small animals and fresh flowers 💐 at affordable prices. ✅ Bar Street Bustling at night in summer but quiet during the day—perfect for a stroll. 🏨: Jiaxing Yuehe Inn 🚦: No. 118, Tongle Road, Nanhu District, Jiaxing
