Water Town Slow Life | The Poetry and Fireworks of Jinxi Ancient Town

| The Poetry and Fireworks of Jinxi Ancient Town. 🚗Transportation: From Shanghai, drive for just over an hour to reach Jinxi Ancient Town. The journey is smooth, with the scenery gradually transitioning into the beautiful landscapes of Jiangnan, lifting your spirits along the way. 🌟Attractions: • Guliang Bridge: This is the iconic structure of Jinxi Ancient Town, with its winding body lying over Wubao Lake, creating a stunning picture with the vast lotus flowers in the lake. In summer, the lotus blooms with a refreshing fragrance; even in other seasons, listening to the rain on the withered lotus has its unique charm. Standing at the bridgehead, the lake breeze caresses your face, and the distant white walls and black tiles create a peaceful scene. • Wubao Lake: The lake water is clear and calm, reflecting the ancient buildings and green trees on the shore. Rent a small boat and slowly glide on the lake, watching the boatman row, creating ripples on the water, as if taking you back to the old times of the ancient town. • Old Street: The stone-paved road winds and twists, with shops lining the street, yet without the excessive commercialization noise. Traditional handicraft shops, specialty snack stalls, and teahouses are scattered around, allowing you to stroll and experience the lively atmosphere of Jiangnan life. Sit down in an old teahouse, sip a cup of fragrant tea, and listen to the local elders tell stories of the ancient town's past, as if time slows down. 🍱Food: • Sock Bottom Pastry: Shaped like a sock bottom, with layers of crispiness, a bite reveals the blend of scallion, sesame, and lard flavors on your tongue, making it a must-try snack in the ancient town. • Aozai Noodles: The noodles are chewy, the broth is rich, and the toppings are diverse. The richness of the red broth, the freshness of the white broth, paired with braised meat, fried fish, and other toppings, make for a satisfying bowl. Jinxi Ancient Town is like an ink painting, tranquil and gentle, with stories hidden in every corner. There is no crowding of popular tourist spots here, only the authentic Jiangnan water town charm, allowing you to temporarily escape the hustle and bustle of the city and find a moment of peace for your soul. It's a Jiangnan appointment worth making.
