Zhangjiagang’s Shuangshan Island is one of the hidden gems of the city. It’s not far at all from the mainland as you’ll need to take a short ferry from the mainland to the island (about 10 minutes). Once on the island there are many things to see and do. First, I’d recommend you get a scooter to ride around, as the island is big and it's really fun to ride and explore. On the island, there are beautiful sceneries, an old town, restaurants and even a golf course! Definitely worth a day trip! #localguides #zhangjiagang #china #Shuangshanisland

On the banks of the Yangtze River, the antique Shuangshan Old Street For most people who do not live in Shuangshan Golf Hotel, take the ferry to Shuangshan Island, Shuangshan Old Street will be their first stop. Therefore, along with the wetland landscape here, the old street has become a two-story business card with a double-mountain style. Before entering the old street, you must first pass under the Chinese-style castle. This tower is like the patron saint of Shuangshan Island, and it is quite a majestic statue of "One husband is off, Wanfu is open." Visitors board the only city tower on the island, overlooking the scenery of Shuangshan Island from a height, lazy time, can be like the past, the wild autumn rhyme of the wilderness. Through the towers of the tall and stalwart, the Shuangshan Island behind it is soft and moving, fresh and high. In the fascinating scenery, Wu Hao softly whispers. If you can have a cup of fragrant coffee, it is even more wonderful! The tranquility of Shuangshan Old Street is like the mood of Wenqing. Bathed in the sun, infiltrated in the temperament of Jiangnan. Such a literary art is so moving. An ancient street, appealing to the feelings of Jiangnan. Different from the narrow rain lanes of Wuzhen and Xitang, Shuangshan Ancient Street has a wide atmosphere. This is a fusion of the river style and the south of the river, the wide and clean main street, the tall and thick camphor tree, the patchwork of the horse head wall... But my favorite is the real life of Shuangshan Old Street. There are no shops that are row upon row, no tourists who are shoulder-to-shoulder, even so quiet. But this is a real old street. Because of the most vivid life, she always exists in the most common posture.

On the water side of the Dabundun Wetland For many years, Shuangshan Island has always been the no development island of Zhangjiagang. So far, no industrial enterprises have settled in, and it is one of the most intact islands in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. In late autumn, the Dabundun Wetland has the most common golden reeds on the island. Looking at the original ecology, you can even see the chickens and ducks that wander around. Walking along the path of the wetland into the depths of the reeds, the view in front of you is not difficult to remind people of the scrolls depicted in the Book of Songs, a scene of sorrow and sorrow. Through the reeds, the distant ports and terminals are looming, sometimes real and sometimes distant. The quiet and beautiful reeds and the hard industrial lines on the beach are really a wonderful combination.

It is full of grace and fullness, and it fits the autumn poetry of exclusive Jiangnan. Fish Xiang shallow bottom, bird dance blue sky, into Shuangshan Island, a quiet and indulgent ink, Danqing, green shade, water bay. The good one is full of vitality, and people and nature live in harmony. The Yangtze River in the distance makes the pattern of the wetland suddenly broaden. It reminds me of Fan Zhongyan's famous sayings: Guanyuan Mountain, swallowing the Yangtze River, Haohao Tangtang, and no boundaries; Zhaohui Xiyin, meteorological. walking on the island of Jiang, between the rivers and the sky. Take a deep breath and breathe the aura between heaven and earth.
