It accentuates the pure, quintessentially Jiangnan ink-wash aesthetic of Luzhi.

Year after year, snow in Jiangnan; decade after decade, we grow old together.

Leisurely admiring the snow

　　As soon as the snow falls, the winter atmosphere settles in. After the first clear spell following a snowfall, Luzhi unfolds a landscape of breathtaking beauty: the dark-tiled roofs, blanketed in white, transform into “white tiles.” Seen from above, the waterways flow like bold strokes of ink, while the pristine snow serves as poetic negative space, together composing a pure, freehand ink painting that stretches across heaven and earth.

Set against the backdrop of heavy snowfall, Baosheng Temple presents a breathtaking winter scene, where pristine white landscapes mingle with the bright yellow walls, lending an enchanting touch to the season’s quietude. An ancient, thousand-year-old ginkgo tree stands serenely; standing beneath it feels like stepping into a timeless moment, and the picturesque snowy scenery fills the heart with joy.

Stepping into the Ye Shengtao Memorial Hall, one can savor the life and achievements of this distinguished teacher amid a snowy landscape. In the courtyard, the verdant pines and cypresses, cloaked in wind and snow, appear all the more solemn and serene—much like the unyielding integrity of the eminent scholar they seem to guard, inspiring deep reverence.

Delighted to photograph the snow

　　Under a blanket of snowy scenery, Luzhi Old Street seems to have stepped straight out of bygone days. Frost glistens on the boats, and white snow blankets the bridges, lending the scene an ethereal softness and grace—evoking an endless sense of purity, romance, and delight.

Beneath the snow, the twin bridges take on an even more timelessly rustic charm; ascending the steps, one leaves behind a trail of footprints—deep and shallow, fleeting yet distinct. Gazing into the distance, the old street seems sketched in simple strokes, its tones just right, neither too bold nor too faint. Pedestrians strolling along the path echo the snowy scenery, lending the winter‑drenched Jiangnan landscape an added touch of lively cheer.

At this moment, donning a traditional Hanfu and strolling along the old street, you’ll find picture-perfect spots at every turn. Walk across the ancient stone bridge piled high with wind and snow, and capture a glimpse of Jiangnan in the winter—timeless and ethereal. As you wander beneath the covered corridors, turn back to see the scattered flakes swirling below, savoring the unique romantic poetry of the season.

Listening to the Snow by the Hearth

　　Whenever snow falls, Bai Juyi’s line, “As evening approaches and the sky seems to hold snow, might we share a cup?” always stirs in one boundless reverie.

The Lüxiang Garden Restaurant glows with warm, golden light, silently inviting visitors to step inside. Throughout the dining room, you’ll find Shanghai‑style antique furniture and traditional calligraphic accents, perfectly complementing the rich historical heritage of Luzhi Ancient Town.

The specially crafted stove cover insulates the charcoal fire, ensuring safety. As you brew your tea, simply toss in a handful of peanuts—soon, a rich, fragrant aroma wafts through the air. Sip your tea and savor the refined elegance of winter’s chill. When white snow meets the quaint shops along the old street, even the frosty breath that mists into frost begins to fade.

Snow blankets the lands of Jiangnan, and the years turn into poetry.

Sledding and admiring the snow in Luzhi.

Together, we savor the crisp freshness of heaven and earth.

Wishing you a warm and peaceful winter; may you be in good health and well-being.
