A friend who has lost his youth visited Dangkou town in Wuxi. When he came back, he said that his deepest feeling about this trip was that Wuxi snacks there were so delicious, especially xiaolongbao. Suzhou xiaolongbao can't be compared with it. It has thin skin, big stuffing and lots of soup. It tastes delicious after biting... I'm drooling, so I have to enjoy it sometime... In July, the flow of fire can't stop the pace of the eaters, Wuxi Dangkou starts to walk...

Dangkou ancient town is located outside Wuxi, not far from Suzhou. First of all, two traffic maps on the Internet are convenient for those who want to go to learn about the general geographical location...

Our self driving route: Ganjiang Road, Suzhou Guangji Road, Guangji North Road, Taidong Road, Lianghong South Road, dangbei Road, Renmin Road, Xili Road, south entrance of Dangkou ancient town, about 35 km.

We went all the way north. There were very few vehicles on the road. We usually commuted on the crowded road. Today's driving is really cool... Soon we arrived at our destination...

Let's show some beautiful pictures that we think are good, ha. Ha... Don't laugh, prawns...

We go to the south entrance. It's a small entrance without any sign. I saw it after an old man's instruction. It's just at the entrance of a small alley beside the main road. A very ordinary door is open in the direction of no one. Just go in directly.

Now the ancient town as a scenic area is two streets with one river, Canghe South Street and Canghe North Street, so this river is Canghe...

Unfortunately, from the south gate, we can see our favorite xiaolongbao shop, Qinyuan xiaolongbao...

In fact, this is not a meal, in fact, we are really not hungry... But I can't help rushing in the shop“ Xiaolongbao "here we are...

This is a two-story antique building. The shop is spacious but not very bright. It makes us feel cool when we come in from the sun...

My friend said that the business of the store was very good all day. He queued for nearly half an hour to eat the small cage. It seems that we are just in time. See, the store is empty and there are not many customers. Maybe the hot weather has hindered the tourists.

The taste of Xiaolong doesn't disappoint us. It's fresh, sweet and delicious. It matches the taste of Suzhou people very well. Friends in the North may not be used to it, but if you get used to it, you can't stop...

Hot and sour soup is also good. It's just right to have a slightly spicy taste with a fresh and sweet dumpling... It's the first time to eat hot and sour soup with gluten.

Small towns in the south of the Yangtze River all have the same charm: flat terrain, small bridges and flowing water, beautiful scenery, pleasant scenery and pleasing to the eye. Born and raised in the south of the Yangtze River, this scenery has been deeply recorded in my heart, but I often go to various small towns, not to travel, but to relax. I walk on the path of bluestone and walk between the houses with white walls and tiles, with the sound of oars and the melodious song of Wu floating in my ears... This is the Yoga of the mind. There is no need to sit still, no need to close your eyes, no need to practice. At this time, self is quiet and peaceful...

Water is the blood and soul of ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River... The houses are built by the river, live by the water and sleep with the water. The streets and rivers are adjacent to each other, and the land and water are accessible.

Water villages generally have a large area of quiet water, making the ancient town as pure and beautiful as a quiet girl. The wind blows across the water, the waves ripple, the boats dock on the shore, and the old people sit on the stone bars chatting about their home... It feels really good.

Bridge is the skeleton of the ancient town. Only with the bridge can the waterway have vitality; Bridge is not only a vehicle, but also a scenery floating on the river.

It is said that there are 24 bridges in the ancient town, including stone arch bridge, stone slab bridge, corridor bridge, flat bridge, ring dragon bridge, single hole ring dragon bridge, three hole ring dragon bridge, wooden frame bridge, one bridge and two types, single hole ring dragon bridge in the north and flat bridge in the south.

Standing on the bridge to see the scenery, you also become the scenery in other people's eyes...

Does the name of the bridge mean that it was a fish market in ancient times?

Let's take a black and white one to see if it's more antique?

When it comes to looking at the scenery, look at a scene that was once very popular on the Internet, look forward, look forward... What do you see? Good eyesight. This is indeed a painting, which extends the natural scenery on both sides of the Strait and obscures the houses outside the scenic area. Would it be better if it could be higher?

Bursts of fragrance, ha, it turned out to be the winery. I'm not a drunkard. I especially like the mellow aroma of yellow wine. There are several wineries on canghe'nan street. Let's see this one, or I'll become a drunkard...

Stop and go, aimless... Looking at the sign, it seems that there are more snacks in Canghe South Street and more cultural landscapes in Canghe North Street... If you want to visit scenic spots, you can go all the way... We have achieved our goal of eating, so let's just walk around...

Guan Yu Temple...

There are almost no indigenous people in the ancient town. Instead, there is a strong business atmosphere. There are all kinds of shops along the street. They eat, wear, play, and are very busy...

A small shop with long guns and short cannons, curious also crowded in to have a look. The sugar blower would blow a lump of maltose out of a very similar animal after a while. It's incredible. Praise one!

Some time-honored brands in Suzhou, such as huangtianyuan pastry shop, Dongwu noodle shop and Luzhi pickle shop, have also been found in the ancient town. Tea house, coffee shop, milk tea cold drink shop, noodle snack shop, local specialty shop, all kinds of snack shops, eaters can have a lot of choices...

Maybe it's too hot, there aren't many tourists, and every shop is relatively cold...

It's good to visit all kinds of small shops along the way, but it seems that there is nothing I like and I didn't buy anything...

Although they are ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the architectural style is different. It seems that there is a bit of architectural charm in them.

Finally, let's take some black and white ones. This is the most beautiful ancient town in my heart...

Finally, let's talk about some traffic information. Ha ha, the information is online. I'll sort it out a little bit and have a look at it for reference...
