My favorite tourist town this year is finally revealed! I discovered the real niche attractions in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai! I drove for an hour to Jiaxing just to see this group of granaries with my own eyes. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a treasured attraction in Jiaxing. There are really not many people here! Super photogenic~📷 This is the site of the rice warehouse in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. There are a total of 14 Soviet-style cylindrical rice warehouses. The black and white architectural style is very photogenic, and the light and shadow effects are even more beautiful when the weather is good. The granary is built of three layers of red bricks, with cement poured on the outside and a classic Soviet-style roof on top. It is recommended to use a drone for aerial photography, which will give a more stunning visual effect. Of course, friends who don’t have a drone can also do the same as the pictures below. By combining buildings and people, you can also take pictures that look like blockbusters.

Just wrapped up a spontaneous weekend trip to Jiaxing and stayed at the charmingly antique-style Yuehe Inn. Wandering through Yuehe and Nanhu Lake during the rainy season, I immersed myself in the misty, poetic Jiangnan scenery. The inn is located in the Yuehe Historical Block and spans an impressive 40 acres! Our room overlooked a small river, and in the early morning, a simple snapshot from the balcony captured the white walls, gray tiles, and little bridges—instantly evoking the feel of a Jiangnan watercolor painting. Upon check-in, a staff member personally escorted us through the corridors to our room instead of just pointing the way—a lifesaver for directionally challenged guests! Dinner and the buffet breakfast were served at the Yuebo Lou restaurant inside the inn. The floor-to-ceiling windows framed the beautiful scenery perfectly, creating an unbeatable ambiance. Surprisingly, they even served Cantonese dim sum like shrimp dumplings and steamed chicken feet—the shrimp filling was plump and bouncy! Local specialties like zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) and wonton soup were also available, with a broth that was delightfully fresh. Spending a weekend here, enveloped in the misty rain, is nothing short of the idyllic slow life of Jiangnan!

Boat rides cost 120 yuan (cheapest among these towns). Must-tries: Youtunzi (fried dough balls), chicken feet (sweet, so sample first), and Granny's Tofu Pudding (delicious 😋). 📍｜Tongli A vast ancient town.
