There is a place in the Chinese tourists' hearts that cannot be overcome, even after crossing thousands of mountains and rivers and traveling to all kinds of cities both at home and abroad, and experiencing all kinds of styles. If he has never been to ‘Jiangnan’ in his heart, his journey must be incomplete, as most Chinese people have a ‘Jiangnan dream.’ This dream is hidden in the characters by those ancient Chinese writers and poets with their brush and ink, depicted by the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, making emperors and common people alike dream of Jiangnan.
Jiangnan is the place where poets and writers love to write the most.Everyone says Jiangnan is beautiful, and tourists only like old Jiangnan. Spring water is bluer than the sky, we take a boat to listen to the rain and sleep, Dynasties after dynasties have countless poems and songs describing Jiangnan. The classical aesthetic beauty of Jiangnan in these poems and songs is something that foreigners can never understand. It’s a unique little happiness for Chinese people. The tourism craze of Jiangnan didn’t start recently; emperors of the past were also loyal tourists, such as Emperor Sui Yangdi, Emperor Kangxi, and Emperor Qianlong, who left many footprints and legends in Jiangnan.
Wuzhen
There are countless water towns in Jiangnan that claim to be the first in Jiangnan.Wuzhenis the most famous and most controversial of them, like a delicate and charming Jiangnan woman, it was suddenly famous because of the meetings of a group of internet bosses, and was called one of the most beautiful water towns in China. But many tourists complain that it is too commercialized and has lost the peace of the water town.
My suggestion is not to blindly follow the crowd. You should go out and experience it yourself, and realize your own Jiangnan dream. Wuzhen is located at the center of Jiangnan, within 100 kilometers of Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Shanghai, belonging to Jiaxing Prefecture,. I think the soul of Jiangnan water towns is in the water. The flowing water of Wuzhen is a branch of the first lake of the Taihu Lake.
The soul of the ancient town is in the bridge and in the ancient stone path. Walking on the ancient paths worn by centuries of rain and erosion, you will have a sense of solidity, and your footsteps and heart will unconsciously slow down. This is the charm of the ancient town.
When strolling through Wuzhen, at a relaxed pace, you might think of 'the further and further away, the less and less written,' where do the fish sink when the water is wide? If you want to find the friend you miss, you can send him a postcard from the post office in the town.
How can we forget about wine in the beautiful Jiangnan? Drinking lightly by the shore, you can’t help but think of Su Shi’s words: ‘A raincoat and a parasol, I'll ride the wind and waves for a lifetime.’
You can also visit the plant-dying workshop and dye a piece of cloth yourself.
Have you fulfilled your Jiangnan dream? In which water town in Jiangnan?
