When looking for a niche way to play in Wuxi, I accidentally saw the news of the opening of the "Wuxi-Jiangyin" subway and became curious about this small city.
Later, I learned that Jiangyin is a very delicious small county, and I don't eat it from time to time, and now is a good time to eat river fresh, so I decided to rush!
After being to Jiangyin, I know how special this small county is!
It is the second county in China, with a GDP of nearly 500 billion yuan in 2023, and is a veritable "city of local tyrants", and Huaxi Village, the first village in the world, is also here.
At the same time, it also has a gentle and romantic Jiangnan atmosphere. "Artemisia is full of short reed buds, and it is the time when the puffer fish is ready to eat", this is a small town in the south of the Yangtze River that is fresh enough to eat spring.
Because it is close to the Yangtze River, there are countless delicious river freshness such as pufferfish, saury, and anchovy, and it is the food base of many gourmets in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.
After eating and drinking, you can visit this small county town, take a walk by the Yangtze River, be in a daze in the garden, and look up at the Song Pagoda of Guobao...... It's not too cozy.
Last year, Jiangyin opened a high-speed railway, and at the beginning of this year, Wuxi = Jiangyin subway opened Jiangyin officially opened the "double rail era", and it is more and more convenient to go to this small city.
Spring is a great city to visit and eat, and it's fresh enough to eat spring
Jiangyin's food is simply not too much, if the river is fresh and the river is fresh, and if you want carbs and carbs. Eat steamed buns in the morning, noodles at noon, and come to a fresh meal in the evening, this is the life of Jiangnan.
Fisherman's house lights
Location: No. 823, Wenhua Middle Road, Jiangyin High-tech Industrial Development Zone (opposite Binjiang Bus Terminal)
When you come to Jiangyin, of course, you have to eat river fresh.
There are many famous restaurants in Jiangyin that eat river fresh, but the embarrassment is that many restaurants do not accept a person, and after asking two can't do it, they found the fisherman's lights, and only then did they eat the legendary Jiangyin river fresh before giving up hope.
Because I grew up by the sea, I was almost indifferent to food such as fish and shrimp, so I didn't have much expectations before I came to Jiangyin.
However, after eating here, I found that people really can't sit in the well and watch the sky, and the river here is worthy of the existence of "fresh eyebrows".
There is no recipe in this shop, order directly to the fish tank, some can be done, if you don't know what to eat, you can ask the boss signboard, the boss has a good attitude.
This season, the signature seasonal dish is fried screws with river shrimp, and there is also a recipe for stir-fried turtles with river shrimp, depending on which one you like.
I ordered fried screws with river prawns, the price is a little expensive but very delicious, the meat of the river prawns is also very full, and the store added a little garlic and chili pepper to enhance the flavor, and it tastes tender and delicious.
As the saying goes, "I'd rather go to the tired house than abandon the fish", for some gourmets, they have to eat the saury fish if they are bankrupt.
The saury is also one of the "Three Freshs of the Yangtze River", and Xu Xiake, a native of Jiangyin, is its die-hard fan. The saury ravioli can also be said to be an excellent seasonal dish.
Fresh saury meat is chopped into a puree and mixed into minced meat to make a wonton, which is incredibly fresh.
This time, because I came alone, I couldn't order big dishes such as puffer fish and anchovies, which is a pity, so it is recommended to call a few more friends to come over and eat a table full of river fresh.
Yangtze River dim sum shop
Location: Room 102, No. 16, Sima Street, Chengjiang Street (near Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital)
Jiangyin's more famous time-honored dim sum shops such as Taoxingbao, Zhu Hongxing, Fangqiao and Yangtze River are all worth trying, and this time I went to eat at Yangtze River Dim Sum Shop.
I like his crab roe xiaolongbao very much, the crab roe is full, bite down, the crab roe, the meat filling, and the soup enter the mouth together, and the delicious crab aroma explodes between the taste buds, which is so delicious.
You can also come to a bowl of salted meat vermicelli soup, full of a big bowl, vermicelli tendons, the soup absorbs the taste of salted meat, the salty taste is just right, eat it to warm the stomach and fill the stomach.
Eternal Noodle House
Location: 97-99 Middle Street
This is a noodle restaurant that I accidentally walked into when I went to Heungkook Park, but it was amazing.
I didn't look at the signboard, but ordered the meal according to my favorite topping, and directly asked for a bowl of hand-peeled shrimp noodles.
Sure enough, you can taste the "freshness" of anything you eat in Jiangyin, a simple single bowl of shrimp noodles, whether it is the soup base or the shrimp, it is very delicious.
It's light and flavorful, and it's very comfortable to eat a bowl of noodles like this in a cold and humid climate.
Lee Kee Baked Cakes
Location: East side of Building 1, Garden Village 3, Chengjiang Street (near No. 142 Garden Road)
A long-open pancake shop, on Fa Yuen Road, where there are several schools, many locals come to buy it.
His signature is dried plum cabbage button meat and radish shredded button meat, and I bought a dried plum cabbage button pork. The pancakes are freshly made and will have to wait a while for them to come out.
The pancake is thin and crispy, with black sesame seeds on the skin, and the aroma of the meat, making you feel happy when you eat it.
And his baked cakes are very large, one can be full, and the cost performance is very high.
There are also two well-known noodle restaurants next to the bakery, namely Gusu Noodle Restaurant and Nan'an Chunji Restaurant, which you can also try.

This is a relaxing Yangtze River Citywalk route, and many people walk and chat along the riverside.
Among them, the shipyard park has the Yangtze River boat ruins, and the huge white cruise ship is docked on the shore, which is full of industrial style.
Although the goose nose mouth park is not big but worth exploring carefully, "goose nose river" is one of the "eighteen views of Wuxi", there are mountains and rivers in it, and there is an excellent view of the Yangtze River Bridge.
Tips: The goose nose hole has been temporarily closed due to potential safety hazards;
After visiting the Jiangyin Bund, you can also walk to Junshan Temple, which is not very far from the Jiangyin Bund.
Junshan Temple is a famous temple in southern Jiangsu, which was built in the Southern Tang Dynasty and is one of the landmarks of Jiangyin.
I went late this time, and when I arrived at the temple, it was already closed (only open until 4 p.m., so if you want to go, you can come early), so I have to wait for the next time to make up for the regret of not making the trip.

Chen Shijin said, "I had no intention of being a garden, but I took this opportunity to succeed, and this garden was named Shiyuan." The fittest, just the meaning of "the fittest", so it was named the suitable garden.
Shiyuan is one of the 100 famous private gardens in China, small and exquisite, with garden elements such as lakes and mountains, curved bridges and corridors.
There is no admission fee here, and before you get to the garden, you can see a magnolia sticking out of the wall, which is very beautiful. There wasn't much in the garden, so it would be nice to find a place to sit and relax.
