Zhenjiang: Jinshan Temple and Vinegar Fragrance

Zhenjiang is a ferry crossing in Jiangnan worth making a special stop. In one day, between Jinshan Temple and Jiaoshan, you will encounter the unique atmosphere of Zhenjiang.

The first impression Zhenjiang gives is almost always Jinshan Temple. When it actually appears before your eyes, the imagination in the picture suddenly gains weight, and the journey officially begins from that moment.

When it comes to Zhenjiang, locals usually mention Jiaoshan first. Only after experiencing it do you realize that landmarks are never isolated scenery, but the gateway to an entire section of life.

Beigu Mountain hides another side of Zhenjiang. With less crowding from tourists and more daily warmth, you suddenly feel like you've briefly become a person here.

If you have the energy, visit Xijin Ferry. There are no standard answers there, only your own pace, which fits the itinerary just right.

Zhenjiang taught me one thing: you don't have to chase after every sight, just as Jinshan Temple taught me—the best scenery is often where you're willing to stop and look carefully.
