Huzhou Notes: Encountering the Water Towns of Jiangnan and the Bamboo Sea Sanctuary

Huzhou, hidden within it is the tenderness of Jiangnan and the secret of the bamboo sea. The ancient town of Nanxun and the Anji White Tea Viewing Platform are the most beautiful sceneries of this trip. 🏯First encounter with Nanxun, the charm of the ancient town🏯 Walking into Nanxun ancient town is like traveling through time. Stone-paved roads, old houses, and small bridges over flowing water, every corner is filled with historical traces. In a corner of the ancient town, I found that 'Ancient Town Restaurant'. The owner is warm and hospitable, and the food is extremely delicious. Fresh ingredients and authentic cooking methods gave me a whole new understanding of Huzhou cuisine. That tender fish and that bowl of rich soup seemed to be telling the story of Huzhou. 🎋Shuttling through the bamboo forest, the secret of Anji🎋 Leaving Nanxun, we drove to Anji. The bamboo forests along the way were lush and seemed like being in a green ocean. The scenery of the Great Bamboo Sea is certainly beautiful, but the scenery along the road is even more unique. Every bamboo leaf and every bamboo stalk tells the magic and charm of nature. 🏞Dragon's Dream and Zhongnan Baicao Garden, a paradise for families🏞 Dragon's Dream and Zhongnan Baicao Garden are two places suitable for family trips. Although I personally felt it was average, watching the children play in the park, with happy smiles on their faces, I felt another meaning of travel. 🏨Anji Homestay, warm as home🏨 In Anji, we chose a homestay. The environment is elegant, and the owner is warm and thoughtful. At night, sitting in the yard, listening to the insects, looking at the starry sky, it seemed as if the whole world had quieted down. 🌸Huzhou has given me so many surprises. The charm of the ancient town of Nanxun, the secret of the bamboo sea of Anji, both made me linger and forget to return.🌿
