Zhenjiang is a city with a long history, rich culture, and prosperous commerce. It has long been known as a land of fish and rice in Jiangnan. However, many people may not know that Zhenjiang was once the capital of Jiangsu Province. Compared to other famous cities in Jiangnan, Zhenjiang is relatively low-key. Although it is one of China's historical and cultural cities and an excellent tourist city, it is an underrated tourist destination. Zhenjiang's long history has given it a deep cultural heritage, and the city is full of historical sites. Among them, a thousand-year-old ancient street is especially worth visiting: Xijin Ferry. It is a microcosm of Zhenjiang's thousand-year history and culture, and an irreplaceable part of the city's cultural heritage. Xijin Ferry was built during the Six Dynasties period, along the Panshan Plank Road. After construction during the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, this ancient street, about 1,000 meters long, is the area with the most, most concentrated, and best-preserved cultural relics in Zhenjiang. Traces of history from the Six Dynasties to the Qing Dynasty can be found everywhere. Xijin Ferry is home to historical sites from various dynasties. The bluestone streets of the Tang and Song dynasties, the stone pagodas of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and the pavilions of the late Qing dynasty are all powerful witnesses to Zhenjiang's long history. The stone gates built along the slope, with their ancient door lintels inscribed with the calligraphy of famous people from past dynasties, and the small wharf street still exude the charm of the Tang and Song dynasties. Chinese-style pavilions, towers, pagodas, and temples, small and simple, line both sides of Xijin Ferry. Walking along the stone-paved ancient road, one can almost see the bustling scene of Zhenjiang's ancient city, once a hub of commerce and travel. The ancient street is home to more than 150 shops, including restaurants, cultural shops, and carpentry and rope shops serving boatmen, like a small society. Over the centuries, countless historical figures have visited Xijin Ferry, including Li Bai, Meng Haoran, Zhang Hu, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, Mi Fu, Lu You, and Marco Polo, who left their footprints and poems here. Wang Anshi's famous Song Dynasty poem "Mooring at Guazhou" describes this place. Chinese writer Han Suyin once exclaimed, "Walking along this ancient and elegant street is like strolling through a natural history museum. This is the true treasure of Zhenjiang tourism." Today, with social development and environmental changes, Xijin Ferry has lost its original function, but its nearly thousand-year history and culture have made the area around Xijin Ferry a living sample for studying that period of history. When visiting, it is recommended to climb Yuntai Mountain. Standing on the stone cliff of Suanshan halfway up the mountain, Xijin Ancient Street looks like a plank road attached to the foot of Yuntai Mountain, with the pavilions and towers with carved eaves and corners like "pearls" embedded in the beautiful "necklace" on the foot of Yuntai Mountain. After thousands of years of wind and rain, it is still exquisite and charming.

🚦Location: Zhenjiang, Jiangsu 🟥Route: Xijin Ferry—Baxian Park—Jingji Road—Yongan Market—Chunjiangchao Square 🟦Food: Beef noodles, yogurt, shredded radish cake, matcha cake, pork tenderloin 🟠I ran into a group of students at Xijin Ferry. The energetic students were so funny. A boy joked that his classmate was the brother of Washington, which made me laugh so hard. 🟡I must have taken the wrong route. I went up the slope from the north gate of Baxian Park. It was so tiring. I said I wouldn't climb a mountain, but I still climbed for 2 minutes. There weren't many people in the park, so it was very quiet. I ran into 4 napping cats. A brown cat was very proud. I wanted to take a picture with it, but it ignored me. 🟢Jingji Road was a pleasant surprise. If you like street photography, you'll love it here. The sound of the yellow sycamore leaves falling in the wind and the sound of shoes stepping on the fallen leaves are very healing. The old houses and closed shops along the street are perfect for a walk on a sunny day. 🟣I ate a lot at Yongan Market, including yogurt, pork tenderloin, and rice cake. I came here to eat, eat, and eat. The market is full of life. 🟤Chunjiangchao Square is beautiful and not crowded. I wanted to see the sunset by the river, but I went in the wrong direction and was blown silly by the wind. 📝I felt very close to Zhenjiang. The accent here is very similar to my hometown, so I can understand it and pretend to be a local. 📝I gave up on the Three Mountains because I didn't want to climb a mountain. It seems like I didn't really visit Zhenjiang, but I'm very satisfied. I passed by Jinshan Park and took a picture at the entrance. The wind was so strong that the wind chimes sounded nice. 📝The buses in Zhenjiang are great. The driver waits for the passengers to sit down before driving. I love the attention to detail. There are many electric bikes on the road, but they don't feel dangerous. 📝My plans changed, so I wanted to eat pot cover noodles before leaving, but I didn't get to eat them. I also didn't get to eat the cute pufferfish. I'll definitely come back and recommend this city to everyone.

West Ferry Ancient Street I came to Zhenjiang by chance. There are three mountains and one ferry here, and the ferry refers to the West Ferry. Zhenjiang West Ferry was formed during the Three Kingdoms period. With the change of the geographical environment, the function of the ferry gradually faded, but the style of the ancient street was preserved, forming the current block - West Ferry Block. On both sides of the street, there are green bricks and black tiles, flying eaves, carved beams and painted buildings, and many Ming and Qing buildings are lined up, exuding a strong ancient charm. Here, you can see the history of a thousand years during the day, and the lively West Ferry Market at night.

Wang Anshi once wrote: 'Between Jingkou and Guazhou is just a river, Zhongshan is only separated by several mountains. The spring breeze once again greens the southern bank of the Yangtze River, when will the bright moon shine on my return?' This place was once called 'Suanshan Ferry' and 'Jinling Ferry', and it was only in the Song Dynasty that it was named 'Xijin Ferry'. When you come to Zhenjiang, besides eating pot cover noodles, you must visit the 'Three Mountains and One Ferry', and Xijin Ferry is the 'ferry'. Xijin Ferry carries the livelihood of the people and also the inheritance of Chinese culture. It is not only the cultural vein of Zhenjiang but also the best-preserved ancient cultural street in Zhenjiang! ✅ Highlights: 🎫 Tickets: Free Area Zhenjiang Museum - The museum is divided into the former British Consulate, ancient history, and modern history exhibition halls. From the bronze ware of the Wu State in the Spring and Autumn Period, the celadon of the Six Dynasties, to the gold and silver ware of the Tang Dynasty and the paintings and calligraphy of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, all tell the past and present of Zhenjiang; British Consulate - Still under renovation, cannot be visited, can only admire the architecture from the outside; Zhaoguan Stone Pagoda - The stone pagoda was built in the Yuan Dynasty, named after the two characters 'Zhaoguan' engraved on it; 🎫 Tickets: Paid Area Rescue Society - Jingkou Rescue Society, responsible for salvaging shipwrecks and rescuing on the river, ticket 15 yuan/person, just look at the entrance, no need to buy a ticket to enter; Guanyin Cave - Built in the Song Dynasty, there is a three-story bronze tripod outside the cave door, ticket 15 yuan/person, not recommended; Yuntai Pavilion - Need to climb a small hill, Yuntai Pavilion is at the top of the hill, separate ticket required to enter the pavilion, 10 yuan/person; ✅ Food Recommendations: ⭕️ Zhenjiang has always been known for 'Three Fish, Three Oddities'. 'Three Fish' are shad, knife fish, and catfish; 'Three Oddities' are pickled meat, fragrant vinegar, and pot cover noodles. There is an old saying in Zhenjiang: 'Fragrant vinegar doesn't spoil, pickled meat is not considered a dish, pot cover is cooked in the noodle pot'. ⭕️ I highly recommend the puffer fish at Yong'an Fish Restaurant. They say people risk their lives to eat puffer fish, and I finally got to try it this time. ⭕️ It is said that the skin of the puffer fish is the most important, but I really couldn't eat it. The skin has small spines that prick the mouth a bit. Locals wrap the inner part with the outer skin before eating, but I still couldn't swallow it. However, the fish meat made me feast to my heart's content. ⚠️ Notes: ⭕️ Unless you are staying at Xijin Ferry, I wandered around for about half an hour and couldn't find any other parking lot. The car had to be obediently parked in the underground parking lot by the river, which should be 5 yuan per time. I have a new energy vehicle, so I got a half-price discount; ⭕️ Zhenjiang has 1-day and 2-day tour tickets. Personally, I feel that the 1-day ticket is too rushed, and the 2-day ticket is too expensive and not worth it. Later, I found the Jiangsu Tourism Annual Card. Those who like weekend trips can check it out~

This is a famous ancient ferry in Zhenjiang, where many battles have taken place. The main attractions include the Zhaoguan Ancient Pagoda and the Guanyin Cave. The Guanyin Cave is a paid attraction, where the Guanyin Bodhisattva is enshrined. The ancient street within the scenic area is modeled after the Ming and Qing dynasties' architecture. The street mainly features snacks, including Zhenjiang's most famous dishes: Yaorou Guogai Noodles and Red and White Braised Pufferfish. From the highest point, Yuntai Pavilion, you can overlook the ancient ferry and see the well-arranged ancient residences scattered throughout the scenic area. In the scorching summer, you can cool off in the air-raid shelter, which was built in the 1950s and 1960s. The air-raid shelter was a strategic location during the Liberation War, used for storing strategic materials and avoiding enemy bombings.

Even the 40-degree weather couldn't stop my desire to go out. It took a little over an hour to drive from Nanjing to Zhenjiang and reach the ancient street of Xijin Ferry. It's really photogenic; you can finish walking around in about an hour, and casual shots turn out great. How can you come to Zhenjiang without eating pot cover noodles? But the shops here close very early, many of them by 7:30 PM. Later, I drove along the roadside and randomly found a place to eat pot cover noodles. The eel noodles were not fishy at all, the portion was large, and it was delicious. 😋

🌈Scenic Features: During the Yuan Dynasty, Marco Polo disembarked at Xijin Ferry when traveling from Yangzhou to Zhenjiang.

The Xijin Ferry of Three Mountains and One Ferry is different from the traditional black-tiled old streets of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. It features unique brick houses with blue tiles. If you're tired of Suzhou, come to Zhenjiang! It's very close to cities like Shanghai, Wuxi, Hefei, and Nanjing🫶🏻 There aren't many people, the city isn't big, and taxis are very cheap. Tourist spots and attractions aren't crowded. Travel experience upup!! You can better feel the unique charm of this city🌲 If it's hot and you don't want to climb mountains, just find a teahouse in Xijin Ferry to have some tea. There are many intangible cultural heritage shops to visit! There are clay crafts, bamboo and wood products, etc. For those who like hiking, there are viewing platforms and temples on the mountains to visit🏞️ It's free!🆓🆓🆓 There are very few places in the scenic area that charge fees and need to be explored. If you don't plan to check in at many places, the pass card is actually unnecessary✔️ But note that the place in the first picture is not open on rainy days～🌧️ The steps are a bit steep, so be careful! Actually, walking in the ancient street isn't very hot because the air conditioning from the shops along the street blows out a bit, and shopping in the stores is generally very cool. A leisurely and comfortable weekend!! If you don't want to stay in place, just set off!
