Not just Zhouzhuang, Jinxi is the last tenderness of Jiangnan!

On the shores of Dianshan Lake in the southern suburbs of Kunshan, there is a thousand-year-old water town, with a stream running through the town, peach and plum trees lining the banks, morning and evening glows spreading over the river, the whole stream shimmering like a brocade belt, hence the name Jinxi. The ancient town of Jinxi got its name from this. Although it is not far from the world-famous Zhouzhuang, it does not have the hustle and bustle of crowds and the strong commercial atmosphere. The ancient town, without any makeup, is still clear and lovely, completely restoring people's surprising impression of the Jiangnan water town.🖼️ 🏞️ Stepping into Jinxi is like traveling through time and space. The stream flows gently through the town, with peach and plum trees competing for beauty on both sides, morning and evening glows, golden light shimmering, just like a flowing brocade belt! 🎨 The name Jinxi is really fitting, it truly lives up to its name! 👣 Compared to the famous Zhouzhuang next door, this place is less noisy and more peaceful and simple. Walking on the bluestone road, you can occasionally hear the boatman's sister humming a local tune, and your mood becomes melodious too~🎵 📸 Guliang Bridge, the face of Jinxi! The vermilion bridge corridor, the classical flying eaves pavilion, reflected on the calm lake surface, is so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated. Standing on the bridge, any random shot is a masterpiece, remember to bring your camera! 📷 🏛️ Chen Fei Water Tomb, a mysterious and romantic place. The water tomb lies quietly in the lake, no matter how the water level changes, it always stubbornly exposes the water surface, as if telling an ancient love story. 💑 🧘‍♀️ Lianchi Zen Temple, a unique temple. The temple gate faces north, which is unique among Chinese temples! Walking into the Zen temple, feeling the tranquility and peace, the soul is purified. 🙏 📚 Wenchang Pavilion, the cultural landmark of Jinxi. Facing the ancient lotus pond in the front, Yangliu Embankment in the east, and Baoge in the west, it is a symbol of Jinxi's prosperous culture. If you have students at home, you might as well come here to pray for academic success! 🎓 🍽️ Speaking of food, you can't miss the delicacies of Jinxi! Sock-bottom crisp, begonia cake, small shrimp... each one is a treat for the taste buds. Especially the small shrimp, so fresh that your eyebrows will fall off! 🦐 🏡 Tired of playing? The accommodation in Jinxi is also very characteristic. Youth hostels, big bed rooms, everything is available, the price is affordable, and the environment is comfortable. Stay here for a night and let your soul completely relax! 🛌 🔥 Finally, don't forget to experience a Jinxi sculling boat, 150 yuan per boat, shared by 6 people, slowly shuttling through the water town, feeling the unique leisure and comfort. 🚣‍♀️ 👇 Come to Jinxi and feel the beauty that has been gently treated by time! Remember to like, follow, and comment, let's share the joy of this trip together! 💖
