**🌿Kunshan Travel Guide: The Poetic Slow Life of Jiangnan Water Towns🍜**

Kunshan, a treasure city hidden between Shanghai and Suzhou, has the everyday atmosphere of ancient towns, the natural beauty of lakes and mountains, and mouth-watering delicacies! Today, I'll take you to unlock the right way to experience Kunshan~

### **🚶‍♂️Must-Visit Attractions**
1️⃣ **Zhouzhuang Ancient Town**—"China's No. 1 Water Town". Take a gondola and pass through the Twin Bridges, watch the white walls and black tiles reflected in the water, and it is even more dreamy when the lanterns light up at night🌙.
2️⃣ **Jinxi Ancient Town**—More tranquil than Zhouzhuang, with 36 ancient bridges, Chenfei's Water Tomb, and Lianchi Temple, every shot is a watercolor painting📸.
3️⃣ **Qiandeng Ancient Town**—The birthplace of Kunqu Opera, with winding stone slab streets. Gu Yanwu's former residence is worth a visit, and thousands of lanterns are super romantic at night🏮.
4️⃣ **Tinglin Park**—Kunshan's "city lung". Climb Yu Peak to overlook the entire city. When the Chinese herbaceous peonies are in full bloom in April, it's absolutely stunning🌸.

### **🍜Food Recommendations**
- **Aozao Noodles**: Red oil braised fish noodles + white soup braised duck noodles, so fresh you'll lose your eyebrows! 🍜
- **Wansan Pork Knuckle**: Zhouzhuang's famous dish, soft and flavorful, a must-try for foodies🐷.
- **Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crab** (limited to autumn): Full of crab roe and fat, freshly caught and steamed from old-brand crab farms in Bacheng🦀.

### **📌Useful Tips**
- **Transportation**: A 20-minute high-speed train from Shanghai directly to Kunshan South Station, and it's super convenient to take a bus/taxi to the ancient town🚄.
- **Accommodation**: Stay in a waterfront homestay in Zhouzhuang or Jinxi and fall asleep to the sound of oars at night🌊.
- **Things to avoid**: Crowds during holidays, it is recommended to come on weekdays! There is a charge for the second song sung on the Jinxi gondola ride💸.

**✨The beauty of Kunshan is the cooking smoke in the morning, the aroma of tea in the afternoon, and the boat songs in the evening... Come and start your healing journey in this water town!** 🚤💖
