Jiangnan is wonderful, its scenery long familiar. When the sun rises, the river flowers are redder than fire; in spring, the river water is as green as indigo. How could one not yearn for Jiangnan? When parents arrive at the dreamlike water town of Wuzhen, this ancient town, known as 'China's last waterside homes,' offers a uniquely charming water town experience, while Nanxun Ancient Town quietly awaits everyone's exploration.

PART.01 Wuzhen

Stepping into the East Scenic Area of Wuzhen is like stepping into a bygone era. The bluestone-paved lanes meander gently, radiating a soft, aged glow. My parents stroll slowly along them, their eyes full of amazement and curiosity. Everyone wanders around, exclaiming in admiration: "These old houses seem full of stories; they look just like a scene from a painting."

  

  

By the lakeside of Wuzhen, a gentle breeze caresses the face, bringing hints of water vapor and the fresh scent of flowers and plants on the shore. Parents leisurely appreciate the scenery on both banks, their faces radiant with happiness, capturing each beautiful moment.



  

Wuzhen has also gained vitality and charm with the arrival of the parents. The antique-style, fragrant display windows and various traditional handicrafts evoke memories of their youth. Laughter and cheerful chatter blend with the gentle sounds of flowing water in this water town, creating a warm and touching portrayal of life in Wuzhen.

  

PART.02 Nanxun Ancient Town

  

After bidding farewell to Wuzhen East Village, my parents arrived at Nanxun Ancient Town. Compared with Wuzhen's delicate and graceful charm, Nanxun offers a greater sense of grandeur and depth. As they strolled through it, they savored the tranquility and elegance, envisioning the magnificent scene of blooming lotus flowers, their joy evident for all to see.

  

  

Jiangnan is beautiful, and the place I remember most is Nanxun. In this land of abundant fish and rice, one can admire the realm of silk. The courtyards are deep, brimming with joy and harmony. Parents are reluctant to leave, only wishing time could pause, letting this beauty extend endlessly.

The journey from Nanxun Ancient Town to Taihu Ancient Town is 80 kilometers by car, filled with ancient charm along the way—small bridges, flowing water, and traditional homes, with scenery as picturesque as a painting. The parents enjoyed the beautiful views and felt completely relaxed!

PART.03 Taihu Ancient Town

  

  

  

Entering Taihu Ancient Town is like stepping into a corridor of time, with the ancient charm enveloping you. As parents step into the town and stroll along the cobblestone paths, they feel a deep sense of relaxation, with surprises to be found everywhere.

  

  

As one of the check-in spots for 'Running Man,' Taihu Ancient Town has gained a more fashionable vibe. The lively and exuberant dance welcome ceremony and the uniquely exotic cultural performances provide parents with a visual feast. Everyone eagerly takes out their phones, trying to capture the wonderful moments and record this unique experience, so that they can share what they saw and heard with neighbors when they return.

PART.04 The Most Beautiful Taihu

At the live performance of 'The Most Beautiful Taihu,' over 4,000 employees' parents took a group photo. This impressive gathering is brought together by one common name Henan Mine Crane!

  

  

Booked a private viewing of the performance 'The Drunken Beauty of Taihu.' Sounds, lights, fire, and electricity woven together, bringing to life the millennium-old legend of Taihu. Parents sat side by side, completely absorbed in this audiovisual feast.

  

  

As night fell, the ancient town was adorned with lights, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. The company carefully organized a special waterfront-themed dinner. Parents savored the delicious food, and the fatigue of the day gradually melted away in the warm ambiance. They stayed at the elegant lakeside hotel, and under the gentle night, they drifted into sweet dreams, satisfied with the day's itinerary. Meanwhile, the filial culture of Henan's Mine Crane community, like the lights of this water town, shone brightly in the ancient town, illuminating the hearts of every parent and leaving behind a series of warm and beautiful memories.
