"Why do we always miss Jiangnan? Because it holds the romance of the Chinese people"

The Beauty of Nature • The Charm of Water: Jiangnan has a crisscrossing water network with rivers and lakes scattered all over. The lake water is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the weeping willows on the bank and the white-walled, black-tiled buildings, making it picturesque. The river winds through ancient towns and villages, the water is green, and boats sway on it, creating layers of ripples, as if telling the story of thousands of years. • Beautiful Scenery: Jiangnan has many green hills, with undulating mountains stretching endlessly. The mountains are covered with lush vegetation, evergreen all year round, looming in the misty rain, like a light and elegant ink painting. In the spring, mountain flowers are in full bloom, dotted among the green hills and waters, adding a bit of gorgeous color. The Beauty of Architecture • White Walls and Black Tiles: The residential buildings in Jiangnan are mainly white walls and black tiles, simple and elegant. The walls are as white as snow, and the tiles on the roof are black and shiny, which are particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of green trees and green hills. The houses are arranged along the river bank or street in a staggered manner, forming a unique Jiangnan water town style. • Small Bridges and Flowing Water: The bridges in Jiangnan have various shapes, including arch bridges and beam bridges, spanning over rivers or lying quietly in the water lanes. The railings of the stone bridge are carved with exquisite patterns, and the traces of time make them look simple and elegant. The flowing water under the bridge forms a harmonious picture with the pedestrians on the bridge and the buildings on the bank. The Beauty of Humanity • Soft Language: The dialect in the Jiangnan area is euphemistic and pleasant, with a soft tone and slow speech, full of tenderness. People use the soft language to communicate, sing, and tell stories, as if every word carries the charm of Jiangnan, which makes people feel happy. • Cultural Heritage: Jiangnan has been a prosperous place for culture since ancient times, and has nurtured many literati, talented scholars, and beautiful ladies. There are ancient art forms such as poetry, calligraphy, painting, and opera, such as Kunqu Opera and Yue Opera, which show the unique charm of Jiangnan culture with their beautiful singing and delicate performances.
