Jiangsu: Jinxi Town—enjoy slow-paced life

Jinxi is located at the southwestern Kunshan City, China’s eastern Jiangsu Province. With lakes surrounding out the town and streams crossing in the inside town, Jinxi presents visitors a world of water. Because the river would be glittering when it is at sunrise and sunset, just like a splendid(translated into Chinese as “Jinxiu”) scroll painting, hence the name Jinxi.

Like many other towns in the south of lower reaches of Yangtze River, Jinxi is built with gray tiles and white walls, and mixed with gurgling water. However, it is different from most of the watery place. There are neither overwhelming amount of stores nor dense crowd. It remains its original serenity and clean. If you visit other towns like Wuzhen and Xitang in nine or eight PM, what comes to your eyes will be the hustle and bustle life with people shouting. But when we went through a quiet wood gallery, ethereal songs floating from far away, gentle and intangible. The river is in quiet reflection of light, and the light spot gleaming on the river.
