Jinxi Water Town is named after the Jinxi River which zig-zags through the town from north to south. Taking a bird’s eye view of the town at twilight, one would see the green waters rippling and the houses of families residing on the riverbanks are reflected in the clear water. During the day, the bright sun covers the surface of the water with a golden light.
