The sun was shining high, and cicadas and insects chirped.

In Jiangnan recently, although autumn has begun, the minimum temperature is basically 29℃ every morning.

In summer, there must be water to dissipate this burning heat. Shajiabang made of water is the coolest encounter. Find the comfort of "Jiangnan on the Water" and experience the beauty of "water" with me.

If you want to travel to Jiangnan, I recommend this cool little world-Shajiabang.

Shajiabang Luedang Scenic Area is located in Changshu City, Jiangsu Province. The scenic spot is about 10 kilometers away from Changshu City. It is a national 5A-level tourist area and one of the largest ecological wetlands in East China.

A Peking Opera and TV series "Shajiabang" made Chunlai Teahouse and Aunt Aqing known to everyone, and also made Shajiabang the biggest signboard in the ancient city of Changshu.

But maybe you don't know, today's Shajiabang is no longer what you remember. This place has slowly become a resort in Jiangnan.

1. Water travel with blue waves

Water is the soul of Shajiabang, and nothing that suits water best is a boat.

Clear water and reeds, sit on a hand-operated boat and walk on the water, feel the vast reeds and birds here, and let the summer wind blow through the lake with coolness.

You must not miss the free and easy water travel.

Shajiabang, the most beautiful is the reed swamp.

The hand-cranked wooden boat swings leisurely, taking you through the winding reed swamps. The sound of oars is squeaking, and the old woman rocking the boat sings a Shajiabang tune, echoing in the reed swamps. The water town seems to be swaying in a dream.

You can appreciate the beauty of lotus flowers on the boat. Green lotus leaves and pink lotus flowers cover the pond and stretch out a beautiful picture.

You can also have a beautiful Jiangnan boat meal on the boat. Deep in your taste buds, feel the delicacy of Jiangnan. However, Jiangnan boat meals need to be booked!

2. Sleep on the waterside of Jiangnan at night

Eat in Jiangnan and live in Jiangnan.

The scenery of the water town is a lush green field intertwined with vertical and horizontal reeds and waterways. Living next to the water is the most emotional experience.

Only when you come to Shajiabang and look for a hotel or B & B near the water can you experience the charm of "Jiangnan on the Water".

There are three hotels and B & Bs living near the water in the scenic area, with different styles and different prices. You can choose where you like to live.

1. Luyi Resort Hotel

Luyi Resort Hotel is built next to the lake in an exquisite and simple Chinese style. It is like water dyed ink, showing the beauty of Jiangnan.

This hotel integrates accommodation, catering, meetings and other functions. It is very quiet and far away from the city.

The hotel is very cost-effective, with a simple and natural decoration, and a cool atmosphere that makes people quiet. Standing on the balcony, listening to the summer wind and the chirping of insects in the grass, it feels like returning to childhood.

In Shajiabang Scenic Area, there are two B & Bs, Jiangnan Luhua Bay and Jiuzhu Yilu B & B.

The opening hours of Shajiabang Scenic Area are 08:00 to 16:30, and there is no time limit when living in the scenic area. After a large number of tourists have not yet arrived at the scenic area or have left, you can have a quiet place alone.

At night and early morning, Shajiabang feels like it is a beautiful feeling.

2. Jiangnan Luhua Bay

First, I will take you to see the Qiuxue Tower in Luhua Bay, Jiangnan. Enter a small courtyard. Bamboo fences, quiet swings, just right.

On the second floor of Qiuxue Building, the room is very spacious and has a sloping high roof, just like the old residence in childhood.

The modern Chinese decoration style is low-key, comfortable and restrained. The services provided by a quasi-five-star hotel are of high quality bedding and toiletries, and the details are attentive.

There is also such a light and luxurious single-family villa in Luhua Bay in Jiangnan. It has three rooms and can accommodate six people. Ideal for family vacations and gatherings with friends.

This building is called Dongwu Nayuan, and I like the decoration style very much.

The master bedroom is large with a very spacious bathroom.

The other two bedrooms are also very spacious and both have separate bathrooms.

Is this shower area super touching?

Luhua Bay in the south of the Yangtze River hides warmth in the design and decoration of B & Bs. Sleep here with water and your soul is particularly peaceful.

3. Live in Yilu for a long time

Living in Yilu for a long time restored the original life of the gentry in the early Republic of China. It was a two-way courtyard that was once the backyard of the Diao family's compound.

Everywhere you stay for a long time, you can understand the intentions of the homestay owner.

A living room with windows on three sides. You can stay here, reading books, making tea, writing calligraphy, and watching a boat swaying past outside the glass door.

In the public space near the dock, you can practice calligraphy or drink tea. "If you have nothing to hide in your heart, it is a good time in the world."

Looking down from upstairs, I like the courtyard.

Let me show you the room.

The word "stay for a long time" at the door is written with a very personality. Stay for a long time, and the owner of the B & B hopes that every guest will stay there for a longer time to slow down the pace of life.

This room has a high sloping roof and a lot of space. It is simple and elegant, with no unnecessary decoration.

In addition to the shower area, the bathroom also has a wooden barrel next to the window.

When night comes, leaning against the lakeside dock and watching the night get darker will give you a special interest.

Late at night, listening to the chirping of insects, the night was very quiet. It is far away from the city, there is no light pollution, there are stars outside the window, and you can live in Jiangnan in your dream.

Tip: Staying at these two B & Bs in Shajiabang Scenic Area includes scenic spot tickets and round-trip battery tickets. When you check out, you can ask the front desk to call a battery cart and deliver it to the scenic spot parking lot for free.

3. Cool and tongue-toned water town cuisine

Hengjing Old Street is the core attraction of Shajiabang Scenic Area. A street in a Jiangnan water town reproduces the style of ancient villages in the 1930s and 1940s.

There are deep courtyards, small bridges and flowing water, as well as various specialty workshops such as blacksmith shops, dye workshops, and waste workshops, as well as various snacks with the characteristics of water towns, full of the strong charm of Jiangnan water towns.

On Hengjing Old Street, Shajiabang Chicken is very distinctive. It can be eaten freshly or vacuum-packed and taken home as a companion gift. Almost everyone has one, and the air is full of the unique fragrance of the chicken.

Stroll the old streets and buy a cup of reed rhizome tea suitable for all ages to cool down and relieve the heat. Use reed to stir the pure natural reed rhizome, mix it with pear, rock sugar, etc., and make soup into tea, which is sweet but not greasy.

You can go to a restaurant called "Pi. At the local snack bar called "Stuffing Meet Dang", order freshly cooked rice dumplings, wontons, dumplings... Every bite is a taste of childhood.

A very down-to-earth shop and worth recommending.

Or order a bowl of cool summer mung bean soup to unlock summer taste buds. Su-style mung bean soup is very rich, including glutinous rice, red and green silk, candied dates, winter melon sugar, etc. Mint boiled in water, and the blending is both cool and full.

Come to a smooth tofu flower. The smooth tofu flower is all freshly made. Add dried shrimp, seaweed, and secret miso soup seasonings. It is a unique dish in Jiangnan!

You can also go to Luhua Film and Television Cafe and have a cup of coffee. This is a film-themed cafe with a beautiful small courtyard.

Live by the water, play on the water, and eat in the water town, come to Shajiabang,"Water Jiangnan"!

Shajiabang Scenic Area is an hour's drive from Shanghai and half an hour's drive from Suzhou. Transportation is very convenient. Moreover, starting from July 1, Changshu will be connected to high-speed rail, making it more convenient.

Take your own summer vacation to the water town!

Tip: To go to Shajiabang Scenic Area, you need to tell the driver that you are going to Shajiabang Scenic Area, not Shajiabang Town. Shajiabang Town is to the east of the scenic area and 5 kilometers away from the gate of the scenic area.

Welcome to pay attention to Jiangnan Little Girl-Thinking CS, and share the details of your journey along the way.
