People from Jiangyin might not even know this place

One dime, a ration coupon for a liang of grain, I walk up to the auntie and say, 'A bowl of small wontons, please'... This is not my hometown, but it feels almost the same. The water towns of the south of the Yangtze River are all peaceful and tranquil, more or less. I stroll and pause, taking in the sights, and when hunger strikes, I enjoy a bowl of hot mutton soup and chat with the locals for a bit—a lovely part of the journey. Jiangyin Gaowan Village Located in Xiakeng Town, Jiangyin City, Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, it lies on the banks of Tai Lake in the Yangtze River Delta and is the hometown of the famous Ming Dynasty geographer and traveler, Xu Xiake.
