The area is picturesque, and the scenery is beautiful towards winter. This early winter, I came to the Jiangnan of the Yangtze River, which I have been longing for a long time. In the early morning, I walked slowly along the Qingshiban Road, passing through the small bridge and flowing water, and I stood on the Yuji Bridge and looked into the distance. The warm sun was slightly intoxicated, and I was intoxicated by the bay of clear water and the thousands of poems in Zhenze Ancient Town.

The ancient town of Zhenze has been beautiful for two thousand years. It was called "Wutou Yue Wei" in ancient times. It was the western gate of Wujiang. It has white walls and black tiles, beautiful bridges and shadows, soft oars, clear and quiet. It was the appearance of thousands of times in my dream. I want to tell you two or three things about Zhenze Ancient Town slowly.

Zhenze Ancient Town is located in the southwest of Wujiang District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province. The graceful Jiangnan flavor, the nourishment of Suzhou water and the aesthetics of literati quietly give Zhenze Ancient Town the temperament of spring and snow. Although the ancient town is not large, it has maintained a calm pace of life for two thousand years.

Zhenze Ancient Town is located in the southernmost part of Jiangsu Province. It has a long history and prosperous writing style. It is a famous town in the south of the Yangtze River and a famous hometown of silk in China. Zhenze Ancient Town is free. The main attractions include Shijiantang, Ciyun Temple Pagoda, Wang Xichan Tomb, etc. These small attractions need to be charged and the price is not high. Tickets for Shijiantang are 30 yuan, and if you buy a joint ticket is 50 yuan, I personally think it is still worth visiting.

When I come to Zhenze Ancient Town, there are a few small things that I think you must do: eat a bowl of pickled duck noodles, drink four bowls of tea, watch the sunset on Yuji Bridge, stay in a Xipo B & B, drink a cup of osmanthus latte, and then take a rowing boat, which is a perfect trip to the ancient town of Jiangnan.

The rowing boat travels slowly over the water. The time in Zhenze Ancient Town is long drawn by time. People drinking tea by the water, including foreign tourists and authentic locals. Through the gap of a certain door, we may see several people drinking tea. Zhenze people love to drink tea. Tea culture has penetrated into their ordinary life. In these poetic and slow lives in Jiangnan, there is hidden in the bones of Zhenze people. Love and persistence for life.

Yuji Bridge and Ciyun Tower echo each other from afar, forming the iconic landscape of Zhenze Ancient Town. The Zen atmosphere and tranquility of the ancient town in Jiangnan always give people a feeling of peace of mind. At this time, I can't help but slow down the pace of travel.

I love to stroll slowly on Baota Street. I always accidentally discover the unique flavor and folk customs of this ancient town. Baota Street, formerly known as East Street, is located north of Ditang River. The street and the river run parallel. This layout fills the entire Zhenze ancient town with aura. Baota Street starts from Yuji Bridge in the east and ends at Xie Bridge in the west, with a total length of 368 meters. Although the street is not wide, the shops on both sides are antique, and each small shop has its own characteristics, which makes people want to go in and have a stroll.

For me, the cuisine of each place represents the character and aesthetics of the people in this place. The aesthetics of Jiangnan, from architecture to food, reveal exquisiteness and elegance. Over the long period of time, Zhenze Ancient Town has its own specialty snacks., pickled duck and pork are especially delicious.

There are many local specialty snack bars in Zhenze Ancient Town. They are not eye-catching at first glance, but after coming in to taste them, they will sigh sincerely in their hearts, it is so delicious.

Zhenze Siwan Tea House, the four bowls of tea here are 38 yuan each set, including smoked bean tea, waiting for the emperor tea, boiled eggs and clear tea. Order melon seeds and peanuts, and face the river with three or two friends. Shake the boat, chat, and slowly taste tea. It is a beautiful and leisurely Jiangnan time. Zhenze people really love drinking tea. The taste of the four bowls of tea is also a unique way to drink here. The more you drink the tea, the lighter it is, the deeper the friendship.

Laoyan Noodle Restaurant is a typical Sugar-style noodle restaurant. I made an appointment with a friend to come here early in the morning to eat noodles. As soon as I walked from Baota Street, I smelled the strong aroma of food. Sugarang Noodle has red soup, white soup and dry selection. Laoyan Noodle Restaurant mainly sells noodles in soy sauce duck red soup, which costs 25 yuan a bowl. Listening to Suzhou's commentary and eating soy duck noodles, this is the correct way to open Zhenze Ancient Town.

Zhenze Ancient Town is rich in products, circulating all year round, and ingredients emerge endlessly.

Dingsheng Cake and Coriander Cake are also must-eat local snacks when coming to Zhenze Ancient Town. Dingsheng Cake is a specialty of Suzhou. It has a lovely appearance, soft, fragrant, and sweet bean paste taste. Legend has it that it was specially made by the people of Suzhou during the Southern Song Dynasty to encourage the soldiers of Han Shizhong's Han family army to go on an expedition. The cake had the word "Dingsheng" on it, and it was later called "Dingsheng Cake." There are also fragrant green vegetables, which are unique to Zhenze. The fragrant green vegetables are a specialty of Wujiang District, a geographical indication of national agricultural products and have a history of hundreds of years. Whether they are stir-fried in seasonal vegetables or made into cakes, they are very delicious.

Zhenze Ancient Town is the famous hometown of silk. In the middle section of Baota Street, there is a cultural and creative store. The cultural and creative store here is based on the theme of greedy cats. The surrounding products designed are very innovative. Friends who like these small objects can Come here to Taobao, whether it is for yourself or as a companion gift.

Deep in the ancient street of Zhenze Ancient Town, there is a B & B called Xipo Zhenze. When you push open the door, you walk into the simple tranquility. There are a total of 8 rooms in the B & B. They are independent and quiet, and do not disturb each other. The style is the pastoral style I like. In the courtyard, the fruits of orange trees hang on the branches, making people happy. The feet of the sun are slowly walking from the sofa in front of the house. Walking by, a tree is a good time.

The breeze is coming slowly, and the bamboo shadows are dancing. When you look up, you can see the bright moon. When you look down, you can smell the fragrance of flowers. Listen quietly to the whisper of the little insects and gently hold the breeze into your arms. Listening to the past few years of Xipo B & B, I am not a passer-by. I have dreams and become a horse and can live everywhere.

The afternoons at B & B are comfortable. It is also good to read, make tea, meet friends, or do nothing, be in a daze, or take a nap. In autumn, you can drink osmanthus lattes. For me, who likes osmanthus, the fragrance reaches my throat, and I can't mention how beautiful it is in my heart.

I like to stroll in the ancient town at sunset, standing on Yuji Bridge, and watching people drinking tea leisurely, I will have a very peaceful feeling of joy in my heart. The quiet years we want are probably the same.

In the past two thousand years, Qingshiban Road on Baota Street silently records the fireworks life of this ancient town. The slowly flowing still water is the rolling boat passing by. It is the Jiangnan style that Zhenze Ancient Town cannot get tired of. Taste carefully and have a long aftertaste.
