The snow-covered Jiangnan is even more beautiful than Suzhou and Hangzhou!
I always thought that the Jiangnan water towns in Zhejiang were the most beautiful, but I was surprised to find an even more enchanting snow-covered Jiangnan at the Former Residence of Li Qingzhao in Zhangqiu, Jinan, Shandong!
Here, it feels like traveling through time and experiencing the "drunkenness that makes you forget your way home" described by Li Qingzhao.
