The taste of winter is already in the wind. It's time to say goodbye to autumn! 📍Location: Liming Road, Huabridge I found a great scene for shooting ginkgo. A 1 kilometer long Ginkgo Avenue. Walking on this road on a sunny morning, the sun shines on the golden leaves is particularly eye-catching. This is a romantic moment that only belongs to autumn.

A quaint town so comfortable that you don't want to tell anyone

A quaint town so comfortable that you don't want to tell anyone

A quaint town so comfortable that you don't want to tell anyone A quaint town so comfortable that you don't want to tell anyone Recently, I've been very tired, and I escaped from Guangdong to a quaint town in the Jiangnan water town, where I spent two days of slow time with small bridges and flowing water, and the warm sun slanting. Here I embraced the clear autumn in Jiangnan in my dreams. Location: Jinxi Ancient Town, Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province Recommendation reason: Relatively niche, not many people Suitable for leisurely strolling, there will be no hustle and bustle, and all you can see is the quiet and beautiful scenery. The degree of commercialization is not serious, the perfect fusion of nature and humanities When I wake up in the morning, I stand on the bridge in front of the homestay, blowing the gentle wind of autumn, watching the leaves rustling and falling on the river surface, there are grandmothers washing dishes by the river, and the vendors selling cakes riding motorcycles in the streets and lanes do not feel noisy, but instantly return to the childhood in memory. Transportation is relatively convenient A thirty-minute drive can reach the high-speed rail station, and it only takes ten minutes to go to Suzhou High-speed Rail. I haven't had such a comfortable tranquility on my journey for a long time. If you are also a person who likes quietness and wants to feel the local humanities at a slow pace, then I think you will fall in love with Jinxi Ancient Town

Kunshan Jinxi: A window of beauty, all is Jiangnan

Kunshan Jinxi: A window of beauty, all is Jiangnan

Jinxi Ancient Town is located within Kunshan City, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. It is a Jiangnan water town with a history of over two thousand years, known as the 'Hometown of Chinese Folk Museums'. It retains numerous cultural landscapes, historical sites, and countless buildings with distinctive Ming and Qing Dynasty features. The bluestone paved roads, the buildings along the river, the morning mist over the waterways, and the warm greetings among people, all preserve the most authentic taste of Jiangnan.

There are so many water towns in Jiangnan, and any one of them is beautiful

There are so many water towns in Jiangnan, and any one of them is beautiful

✨Located between Suzhou and Hangzhou, Huzhou has an ancient town called Nanxun, similar to Wuzhen, Tongli, and Xitang, with the same small bridges and flowing water, the same Jiangnan charm. The difference is that there are not many tourists here, so you can leisurely stroll around. 🌲The ancient town is roughly oriented from north to south, with a waterway running through the middle. There are several attractions on both sides, some of which charge an entrance fee, while others are free. The ancient town itself is free. 🏡From the southern Xiaolian Manor heading north, the Zhang Shiming Former Residence is recommended. The ancient architecture inside is exquisite and beautiful, full of Jiangnan style. 🔔Further north, there is Guanghui Palace, a Taoist temple that enshrines the Yellow Immortal, not the one from the northeast, but a local human-shaped Yellow Immortal from Jiangnan. The temple has no entrance fee and is free to enter. ⛲️Heading north along the water, then east, there are Yiyuan and Dongyuan, two adjacent gardens that are typical southern gardens, luxurious and exquisite, with a long-lasting charm. 🏠At the northernmost part of the ancient town is Baijianlou, a row of old Jiangnan-style houses along the river, offering a very typical Jiangnan ancient town scenery. It is free, and there are many restaurants and homestays along the river where you can taste local delicacies. This is my personal favorite spot to visit. 🌲Overall, the ancient town has many attractions, but I personally think that from south to north, Xiaolian Manor—Zhang Shiming Former Residence—Guanghui Palace—Yiyuan—Dongyuan—Baijianlou, these spots are the most worth visiting. 🔔By the way, I highly recommend taking a boat ride at night to tour the ancient town. In the night, sitting on a small boat swaying on the water of Jiangnan, with the lights and bustling crowds on both sides, it feels like a dream back to the Song Dynasty. 🎫The night boat ticket is 50 yuan per person, with an 8-person small boat that departs when full. The time is from 17:00 to 20:30, and the route is from Xiaolian Manor to Guanghui Bridge. I went during the Dragon Boat Festival, and there were many people. The night boat was almost not enough, so it is recommended to buy tickets in advance. 🍽️As for food, there are many places to eat in the ancient town, including chain restaurants, specialty restaurants, and various local eateries. The local specialty silver fish scrambled eggs is recommended, it's delicious. 🌽Additionally, in the Baijianlou area, there are various private kitchens. There is a shop run by an old grandpa and grandma that makes delicious stir-fried yellow beef.

The ceiling of the Kunshan retro bar is more beautiful at night.

The ceiling of the Kunshan retro bar is more beautiful at night.

This shop is located at: Lyphard Melody Star Exhibition · On a slightly cool autumn day, I encountered this bar with a tone, which made the plain days ripple. · The bar is on the second floor, passing through the dark corridor, pushing open a door with light, as if entering another world. · How to describe this bar, it's like the "gentleman space" that often appears in old European and American movies. Some elegant men and women are crouching in the space and talking quietly. · If you want to find a king position in this bar, I think it must be the bar. The retro long table has a very British tone, and you can take a picture with a casual shot. · Recommend two drinks: · ☞Godfather (the cup with large ice cubes) The taste of coffee and coconut oil is suitable for men. The logo on the ice cubes is also very colorful, symbolizing its uniqueness. · ☞Lingyao (the highest yellow goblet) Attracted by the name, it is impressive at first sight. The bartender introduced the taste of ginger and herbs. After drinking, it seems to be able to heal your unhappiness in life. · If you are planted by the pictures I took, it is better to act if you are moved. Find a free night to enjoy such a cozy time. ·

Nanhu - a tranquil and elegant classical garden landscape

Nanhu - a tranquil and elegant classical garden landscape

Nanhu, originally named Zhangshuiyu, also known as Zhangshiyu Lake, is affectionately called Nanbaidang by the locals. Situated near the bustling Shuangqiao area of Zhouzhuang ancient town, once you step into the embrace of Nanhu, you will feel a sense of openness, as if entering a peaceful world. You may stroll on the Quanfu Chang Bridge, feeling the tranquility and harmony, or choose to take a boat ride, leisurely admiring the lake and mountain scenery of Nanhu. Nanhu is not only scenically beautiful but also has an inseparable connection with the Chinese idiom 'Chunlu's thoughts'. Nanhu Autumn Moon Garden, as the shining pearl on the edge of Nanhu, is divided into four scenic areas: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The spring, summer, and autumn scenic areas are filled with beautiful garden landscapes, among which the Silu Hall and Jiying Studio were built to commemorate Zhang Han, the source of the idiom 'Chunlu's thoughts'. Liubin Guest House and Mengde Pavilion are a deep tribute to the Tang Dynasty poet Liu Yuxi. The winter scenic area is centered around the Quanfu Lecture Temple, a unique garden temple whose buildings and pavilions float poetically above the water, known as the 'Buddhist Kingdom in the Water', offering an enchanting view. Quanfu Chang Bridge, a modern stone arch bridge running east-west, gracefully spans across Nanhu. The bridge is slender and beautifully shaped, and when night falls, it is brilliantly lit, presenting tourists with a stunning night view. Near the bridge is the pier for the water tour around the town, where boats shuttle around the outskirts of Zhouzhuang ancient town. Another pier is located near the Taiwan Old Street of the Aodu Style Town, providing tourists with convenient water transportation and another way to explore the ancient town.

Kunshan | Just meeting is wonderful

Kunshan | Just meeting is wonderful

It's wonderful, I encountered flocks of migratory birds along the way, constantly circling in the sky. I inadvertently captured them in my photos. I passed a building like a bell tower, on Zhenchuan Road, and took pictures of the Golden Eagle International Plaza. There's a little tavern called 'Sugar Sister' by the roadside, where you can drink tea and chat with the owner for an afternoon. I had a pastry from Master Bao, and one was enough to satisfy me. Kunshan, just meeting is wonderful.
