This isn't Sanya, it's a lesser-known city in Jiangsu | I regret only coming here this year

Jiangsu is a city with ancient cultural charm, boasting a long history and the tenderness of the south of the Yangtze River. Here in this precious land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I've discovered a little-known city with few people but beautiful scenery.
🍃 What attracts me more is that this place not only has a rich cultural history but also beaches to "see the sea" and hillsides covered with flowers.
