A pastoral village more suitable for the constitution of urban babies
Jijiadun Ideal Village
Located at the southern end of Jinxi Town, the whole village is formed by the merger of two natural villages, retaining the unique water-facing layout of the Jiangnan water town. Two or three waterways run through the village, with flowers and herbs planted along the banks.
From a bird's-eye view, the entire village is surrounded by farmland, with adorable large white ducks standing in the fields, crops changing with the seasons, wildflowers blooming on the village roads, and butterflies fluttering about. Occasionally, a little blue train passes through.
The village has a rich industry, with guesthouses, pottery, bookstores, restaurants, coffee shops...
⚠️It is not a traditional ancient town, there are no snacks and scenic spot souvenirs, it is a new type of commercialized village with farmland, with many guesthouses, restaurants, and coffee shops. The village advocates Pu Men's sustainable ecological agriculture, and many restaurants use their own organic ingredients, especially suitable for babies who have lived in the city for a long time but demand cleanliness and convenience, have high food standards, and want to experience the new countryside. 😜

Another water town in Jiangnan, it's really nice to live in
The entire homestay is built around the water town of Jiangnan, designed and named according to the local geographical environment. It is my favorite architectural style, modern and simple, without losing the charm of Jiangnan, a whole antique!
The public area on the first floor is like an art gallery, all made by famous people, very beautiful!
The second floor has a book bar, private cinema and other leisure areas, for self-cultivation!
Outside is the water town, a scene at every step! There is also a Japanese tea room! Tao's handmade workshop!
Open the window to feel the scenery of Jiangnan!
