Light rain blankets Jinxi Ancient Town in Kunshan, Jiangsu. Visitors stroll among the stone bridges and canals. This 2,000-year-old settlement is a classic example of Jiangnan – the Yangtze River delta region famous for its water towns. Known as the "Hometown of Folk Museums," Jinxi keeps up its authentic charm with lakes, ancient bridges and white-walled, black-tiled houses.
