Stroll down Xifeng Street in Wuxi and step into a living postcard of old China. Cobblestone paths wind past family-run stalls steaming xiaolongbao, while artisans embroider silk under crooked tile-roofed arcades. Come at dusk when lantern light bathes Qing-era buildings in gold, and the aroma of fermented rice dumplings mingles with laughter - this is Jiangnan's soul at its most delicious.
