Jiangnan Water Town is rich in ancient towns: Jasper Zhouzhuang, rich soil Tongli, Fengqing straight, Mengli Xitang, Shuige Wuzhen have their own advantages, and are favored by tourists, but I only have a special liking for Jinxi Ancient Town. She was born in the gentle waters of the south of the Yangtze River, fading away from the commercial prosperity, leaving the simplicity and elegance alone. The town in the early morning is immersed in the dream, pushing open the red door of the bed and the mottled wooden door. The smoke shop on both sides of the street is not open yet. I walked through the melody of the bird, passed through the unmanned stone road, and met the ancient lotus pond. The lotus flower that just showed sharp corners, the glory of the morning sun just sprinkled, and the ancient lotus bridge not far away outlined the classical silhouette of the hollow, a breeze passed, and the message of early summer came.

There are still the remains of Concubine Chen's water tomb from the Southern Song Dynasty, the Wenchang Ancient Pavilion built in the 38th year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty, and the Podocarpus pine planted by Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty. Chen Fei's Water Tomb is a small island with a small pavilion and archway built on it. No matter how high the water level of the lake is, it is always above the water. Stroll through the small bridges and waterside pavilions in the ancient town and feel the rare tranquility and comfort... This is also the reason why I like Suzhou[Cute]

Jinxi's landmark, Guliang Bridge, is a great place to take photos when the lotus flowers are in full bloom in summer. Chen Fei Water Tomb: Mysterious and romantic, located in the middle of the lake. You can look at it from the shore and learn about the moving legend of Chen Fei. Walk into Lianchi Zen Temple and let your soul find peace in the hustle and bustle of the world.

The ancient town with the most beautiful name - Jinxi Ancient Town|| Jinxi, a small town that makes people feel ripples just by hearing its name. Walking on the bluestone bridge in the small town, it seems that I am the poor scholar who is dancing and writing with a feather fan and a turban. Unfortunately, I am ignorant and can't leave any eternal articles. I only remember Bai Juyi's "Remembering Jiangnan". Jiangnan is good, the scenery is old and familiar. The sun rises and the river flowers are red and hot, and the river water is green as blue when spring comes. Can't you remember Jiangnan? P2 to P8 are Jinxi Ancient Town, P9 to P16 are Qiandeng Ancient Town. The two ancient towns are not far apart and are free.

There is a place that Shen Congwen likened to a 'girl in a dream,' Liu Haisu called it the 'last of Jiangnan,' and Feng Yingzi praised it as 'suitable for both light and heavy makeup.' Unlike the bustling tourist spots, this town remains quietly charming in its secluded corner. With over two thousand years of historical and cultural accumulation, it exudes the unique charm of a water town, like a breathtakingly beautiful painting. Jinxi Ancient Town, located in the southwestern corner of Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province, is one of the 'Four Pearls of Southern Jiangsu,' known for its tranquil and restrained water town scenery. It is only eight kilometers away from the famous Zhouzhuang but boasts a longer and richer historical and cultural heritage. The name Jinxi has a poetic origin. It is said that there was a small creek in the town, with peach and plum trees lining its banks. The morning and evening glows reflected on the water, making the creek shimmer like a brocade, hence the name Jinxi. The history of the ancient town can be traced back to the Neolithic period. After more than two thousand years of vicissitudes, it still retains the typical style of a Jiangnan water town. Jinxi is famous for its 'Thirty-six Bridges and Seventy-two Kilns.' These bridges, built during the Ming and Qing dynasties, have withstood the test of time and remain well-preserved. Each bridge has its unique story and charm, such as the Tianshui Bridge (commonly known as the North Guanyin Bridge) and the Jinxi Puqing Bridge, which are popular tourist spots. Among them, Tianshui Bridge, built in the fifth year of the Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty (1407), has endured over 600 years of wind and rain, still maintaining its original appearance, serene and elegant, full of ancient charm. The museum cluster in Jinxi is more famous than the ancient town itself. At its peak, the one-square-kilometer ancient town area housed 15 private museums, covering various fields such as antiques, calligraphy and painting, purple clay, strange stones, and root carvings, showcasing the profound folk culture of Jinxi. Among them, the Chinese Ancient Brick and Tile Museum is particularly noteworthy, with a collection of various ancient bricks and tiles from the Neolithic period to the Republic of China. Each exhibit shines with the brilliance of wisdom, leaving people in awe. When visiting Jinxi, how can you miss the local delicacies? Sock-bottom pastry is a specialty snack in Jinxi, said to be a dessert from the love story of Emperor Xiaozong of Song and Consort Chen. It is crispy and delicious, loved by tourists. In addition, the lake-fresh cuisine in Jinxi is also worth trying, such as steamed whitefish and braised bream, which are signature dishes in local restaurants. 🌟Travel Guide🌟 Transportation: Jinxi is easily accessible.

The summer sky is really beautiful, and if you're lucky, you can see the fiery clouds in the evening, which, against the white walls and black tiles of the ancient town, make for a picturesque scene. If you can't find a less crowded place in Suzhou city, then go out of the city. This Jinxi Ancient Town in Kunshan has very few tourists, but the scenery will definitely not disappoint you. Jinxi, also known as Chenmu, was named after the beloved concubine of Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty, who died here. It only restored its original name in 1992. This is a thousand-year-old town, where ancestors lived and thrived as far back as the Neolithic Age, 5000 years ago. There has always been a saying, "Thirty-six bridges, seventy-two kilns." The town is filled with lakes and rivers, with clear water and green streets, and boats accessible from every household, showcasing the charm of a water town everywhere. Highlights✨ Few people, beautiful scenery, very quiet, very suitable for a solo walk. Because it is located in the suburbs of Suzhou, and there is the first water town of China, Zhouzhuang, next door, there are few tourists, and not many shops are open. It is so quiet that you can almost only hear the cicadas and birds. Ancient bridges and kilns, with a long history. The ancient town currently has 26 ancient bridges, especially the Guliang Bridge at the entrance of the ancient town, which has basically become a popular check-in point in Jinxi. Nine out of ten articles about Jinxi have it as the cover! It is indeed beautiful! In summer, the lake is full of lotus leaves and flowers, with blue skies and white clouds, and long bridges lying across the waves. It is truly "the shimmering water is good in the sunny weather." Since the Ming Dynasty, Jinxi has been known for its kiln production. There are 15 ancient kiln sites preserved, which is the only well-preserved ancient kiln site group in East China. 🚗 Scenic Transportation: 👍️ Must-visit attractions: Lianchi Zen Temple where the water tomb of Concubine Chen is located; Shiyan Long Bridge, a holy place for lake viewing and moon watching; Ding's Residence, known as the first brick and tile museum in China; Shiyuan, the former residence of the national Go master... $ Tickets: No ticket is needed to enter the ancient town! The joint ticket for the paid attractions is 55 yuan/person (including a cultural and creative ice cream) (including the Ancient Brick and Tile Museum, Ding's Residence, Zhang Sheng Art Museum, Pot Culture Museum, Marot Mud Zen Workshop, Jinshi Family) Opening hours: 8:00-17:00 🚗 Scenic Transportation: It is very convenient to drive, with many parking lots; take Kunshan Bus No. 130 and get off at Jinxi Station, then walk for 17 minutes to reach. Kunshan's niche ancient town - Jinxi Ancient Town When it comes to Kunshan, what everyone remembers is Zhouzhuang, right? Compared to the crowded Zhouzhuang, I prefer the tranquility of Jinxi Ancient Town. The key point is that there is no stinky tofu or grilled squid skewers. The commercialization is very low, making it very suitable for strolling and eating. Play time: 2 hours 🎟️ Ticket information: The ancient town is free, but small attractions and boat rides inside the scenic area require tickets. Food Yaoji Haitang Cake: Freshly baked and sold in the shop, it tastes better when eaten hot. The radish cake made by the old lady on the right side of the Haitang Cake shop is also amazing, very delicious! Crispy Chicken Snack Shop: Walk along the street of the ancient town, and you can see it after crossing a bridge. It is one of the few shops with long queues in the scenic area. The chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Be sure to tell the shop that you need chili, otherwise, they won't add it by default. Old Street Bubble Wonton: The wontons are beautifully made, looking like a cloud when cooked, and taste delicious. The shop is very small, but there are many people in line. Many customers come from Shanghai just to eat this delicious wonton, which is perfect! Accommodation: There are many local homestays, each with its own characteristics. We can choose according to our needs! 💗 Other tips: Environmental protection depends on everyone, we should not litter! The sun is strong, so it is recommended to do sun protection and bring a hat! Take care of your belongings to avoid loss!

Jinxi Ancient Town is a Jiangnan water town with a history of over two thousand years.

Attractions: Tongshen Royal Court, Chenfei Water Tomb, Lianchi Zen Temple Adult Ticket🎫: 65 yuan/ticket Public 🚍 Transportation: There are private cars from Kunshan Railway Station to Zhouzhuang, with a stop at Jinxi. Jinxi Ancient Town, a thousand-year-old water town, is named after a small stream in the town that shines like a brocade belt. The town is surrounded by water, with streets and alleys along the water, and ancient bridges connected in succession... It is known for its "36 bridges and 72 kilns." The establishment and evolution of Jinxi, with changes in the town's name, have spanned over 2500 years.

On the shores of Dianshan Lake in the southern suburbs of Kunshan, there is a thousand-year-old water town, with a stream running through the town, peach and plum trees lining the banks, morning and evening glows spreading over the river, the whole stream shimmering like a brocade belt, hence the name Jinxi. The ancient town of Jinxi got its name from this. Although it is not far from the world-famous Zhouzhuang, it does not have the hustle and bustle of crowds and the strong commercial atmosphere. The ancient town, without any makeup, is still clear and lovely, completely restoring people's surprising impression of the Jiangnan water town.🖼️ 🏞️ Stepping into Jinxi is like traveling through time and space. The stream flows gently through the town, with peach and plum trees competing for beauty on both sides, morning and evening glows, golden light shimmering, just like a flowing brocade belt! 🎨 The name Jinxi is really fitting, it truly lives up to its name! 👣 Compared to the famous Zhouzhuang next door, this place is less noisy and more peaceful and simple. Walking on the bluestone road, you can occasionally hear the boatman's sister humming a local tune, and your mood becomes melodious too~🎵 📸 Guliang Bridge, the face of Jinxi! The vermilion bridge corridor, the classical flying eaves pavilion, reflected on the calm lake surface, is so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated. Standing on the bridge, any random shot is a masterpiece, remember to bring your camera! 📷 🏛️ Chen Fei Water Tomb, a mysterious and romantic place. The water tomb lies quietly in the lake, no matter how the water level changes, it always stubbornly exposes the water surface, as if telling an ancient love story. 💑 🧘‍♀️ Lianchi Zen Temple, a unique temple. The temple gate faces north, which is unique among Chinese temples! Walking into the Zen temple, feeling the tranquility and peace, the soul is purified. 🙏 📚 Wenchang Pavilion, the cultural landmark of Jinxi. Facing the ancient lotus pond in the front, Yangliu Embankment in the east, and Baoge in the west, it is a symbol of Jinxi's prosperous culture. If you have students at home, you might as well come here to pray for academic success! 🎓 🍽️ Speaking of food, you can't miss the delicacies of Jinxi! Sock-bottom crisp, begonia cake, small shrimp... each one is a treat for the taste buds. Especially the small shrimp, so fresh that your eyebrows will fall off! 🦐 🏡 Tired of playing? The accommodation in Jinxi is also very characteristic. Youth hostels, big bed rooms, everything is available, the price is affordable, and the environment is comfortable. Stay here for a night and let your soul completely relax! 🛌 🔥 Finally, don't forget to experience a Jinxi sculling boat, 150 yuan per boat, shared by 6 people, slowly shuttling through the water town, feeling the unique leisure and comfort. 🚣‍♀️ 👇 Come to Jinxi and feel the beauty that has been gently treated by time! Remember to like, follow, and comment, let's share the joy of this trip together! 💖

✨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.

Jinxi is a historic water town in the Kunshan District of Suzhou, about 8 Km from Zhouzhuang, famous for its well-preserved ancient architecture, traditional stone bridges (36 in total), and tranquil waterways. One of the main highlights of Jinxi is its ancient canal system, which dates back to the Spring and Autumn Period (770–476 BC), and the covered bridge (锦溪廊桥). Since it’s way smaller than Zhouzhuang, it doesn’t get the attention it deserves (in my opinion). This is also good because it means you’ll find fewer tourists. You should try traditional Suzhou dishes such as “Biluochun Tea” and “Squirrel-shaped Mandarin Fish.” You can check my Instagram page for more pictures: @fabionodariphoto #suzhou

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.
