Zhenjiang is known for three oddities: its vinegar is so fragrant it never spoils, cured meat is not considered a dish, and pot lids are cooked inside the pot. Xijindu is the ferry crossing where Marco Polo landed before he came to the Yangtze River. The scenery along the Yangtze River is still quite beautiful, and you can try the Zhenjiang vinegar 😁. Nearby is the Jinshan Temple, the place associated with the legend of the White Snake Lady flooding the Jinshan Temple.

After visiting the Zhenjiang Museum, you come out to the Xijindu Ancient Street, which is the "context" of the historical and cultural city of Zhenjiang. Xijindu Ancient Street was founded during the Six Dynasties period and has been developed through the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, preserving a large number of historical traces to this day. Climbing up the plank road, you will encounter Guanyin Cave, Zhao Guan Stone Pagoda, Life Saving Society, 'A Glimpse of a Thousand Years'... until you reach the Yuntai Pavilion at the mountain top. At the foot of the mountain is the antique street with its grey tiles and green bricks, historical buildings, former residences of famous people, dining delicacies, cultural creativity... and the 'Fifty-Three Stations' mural on the wall. The romantic sentiment in the poet's eyes, the perilous riverside in the warrior's eyes, the deep historical roots in the traveler's eyes... everyone sees a different Xijindu.

Xijin Ferry, a national AAAA-level tourist attraction, is located at the foot of Yuntai Mountain to the west of Zhenjiang city, and is a historical relic built along the Poshan plank road. Xijin Ferry's ancient street is the area where the most, most concentrated, and best-preserved cultural relics and historical sites in Zhenjiang are located. It is the 'cultural vein' of the famous historical and cultural city of Zhenjiang. The district has a total of 38 cultural heritage conservation units, including 3 at the national level and 6 at the provincial level.

Jinling ferry terminal's small mountain pavilion, a night's stay can bring a traveler's sorrow. At ebb tide, the slanting moon over the night river, a few flickering lights mark Guazhou. Xijindu, also known as Jinling Ferry, has a long history spanning five dynasties, and it is a place with many ancient relics, including a small stretch of road that offers a 'thousand-year view'. Xijindu, different by day and night, just a slight climb up the hill allows one to overlook most of the district, with its beautifully arranged houses. The ruts on the stone-paved road tell stories of the past, and at the end of the ruts, life continues as it is today. It's raining today, a bit cold, and there are few tourists, with most shops not open. Perhaps that's why I love this place. The closed shops either have retro wooden doors or quiet and beautiful facades. If the weather were good and there were many tourists, it would probably be no different from Lijiang or Zhouzhuang. Although the weather is not good, I like the set of photos I took; the wet alleys have a certain feel to them. The advantage of the off-tourist season is the absence of people, but the shops close early too, and because of this, I walked into an exceptionally quiet Xijindu. Slowly feeling the accumulation and changes over a thousand years. The deserted Xijindu at night is too beautiful, so beautiful that I don't want to leave, wanting to keep walking like this, into the stories of its generations.

It's more livable than Nanjing, more legendary than Yangzhou, this forgotten millennium-old city is excessively understated in its beauty! That's Zhenjiang! Spring is the perfect season to embark on a journey to Zhenjiang🌸 - 🌟Jinshan Temple 🎫: Off-season 50, peak season 65 A 5A-level scenic spot, the filming location of 'The Legend of the White Snake', the 'Golden Mountain' in 'Water Floods Golden Mountain' refers to this place! The temple is full of ancient trees and singing birds, set against yellow walls and black tiles, offering great visual appeal, with a high photo-taking success rate. There's also the official Jinshan coffee, which tastes decent - 🌟Xijin Ferry Ancient Street 🎫: 🆓 A historical district, with a main street winding upwards, the foreground features the ancient city lights, and the background is adorned with mountainous temples and pavilions, exuding a sense of the past. Although the alley is not very large, the attractions within are worth stopping to visit. The Zhao Guan Stone Pagoda and Yuntai Pavilion are good for checking in. The downside is that it's very commercialized, and the commercial value for money is not high - 🌟Zhenjiang Museum (Former British Consulate) 🎫: 🆓 Reservation required Adjacent to Xijin Ferry Ancient Street, the museum has two exhibition halls, featuring bronze ware, gold and silver ware, and crafts. Admission is free, but reservations must be made in advance on 🍊. There might be street musicians playing outside the museum, which is quite romantic - 🌟Beigu Mountain 🎫: 30 Steep and towering, standing on the north bank of the Yangtze River, Ganlu Temple is located here, but it's not the one from the story of Huanhuan. There are fewer tourists than at Jinshan, suitable for climbing and enjoying the panoramic view of Zhenjiang - 🌟Jiangda Back Street Snack Street 🎫: 🆓 Gathering delicacies from all over, reminiscent of the college days, you can come here for the night market. I chose a few stalls with friends, none of which were disappointing, but they were also quite common, and the location is relatively remote - 🌟Guanyin Bridge Alley 🎫: 🆓 This street has many beautiful shops, mostly coffee shops and simple meals. The reviews are mixed, so it's best to search for ratings before going - 🚄About transportation: It's very close to Yangzhou, Nanjing, and Shanghai! An excellent choice for weekend trips! The attractions in Zhenjiang are mostly connected and close to each other, making it convenient to take the bus - 🍜Food recommendation: Pot Cover Noodles (just pick any shop, they're all pretty good), Feiquan's buns - ❌Avoid: Went to try the loin at the entrance of Yong'an Food Market because of its fame, but it felt very ordinary, not really worth a special trip -

Xijindu, located at the foot of Yuntai Mountain in the west of Zhenjiang city, is a historical relic built along the broken mountain trail. In the past, it was close to the river mouth and built by the mountain, with beautiful scenery.

The entire street is filled with historical traces from the Six Dynasties to the Qing dynasty. Xijindu is not only called a 'living history,' but it is also an exposition area of historical and cultural heritage in Zhenjiang, as well as a calling card for Zhenjiang as a famous historical and cultural city.

My first visit to Zhenjiang was a tightly scheduled 3-day trip. ✅'Three Mountains and One Ferry' (Jinshan, Jiaoshan, Beigushan, Xijindu), to enjoy the poetic scenery and pursue legends. ✅Zhenjiang Museum, spanning 3000 years of history, allows you to feel the atmosphere of a national historical and cultural city. ✅In the autumn streets, the fragrance of osmanthus is everywhere; in the quiet morning markets, a delicate mist lingers. ✅A big bowl of steaming pot cover noodles is a must-try delicacy, suitable for both meat-eaters and vegetarians, and enjoyed by all ages. (The popular 'Dahua Noodle House' is very down-to-earth) ✅The city is not large, there are not many buses and the intervals are long, so taking a taxi is more convenient for longer distances, while sharing a bike or walking is suitable for shorter distances.
