This isn't a prairie, this is Zhutian, Kunshan.

I had no expectations before coming here,
but I was taken aback after arriving.
This is the impression Zhutian, Kunshan, left on me.

It only takes a little over an hour to drive here from Shanghai.
You can first go to Xiangban Jijiadun to experience rural life,
and in the afternoon, briefly experience the Jiangnan charm of Jinxi Ancient Town.
Depart from Jinxi Ancient Town around 4 p.m.
It only takes about ten minutes to drive to the Zhutian Brick Kiln Cultural Center.

Although the location is quite remote,
people still drive here to visit.
The brick-red exterior of the building
looks especially stunning in the sunset.
There are free exhibitions on the second floor,
as well as some historical introductions to brick kilns.

After the visit, you can drive to the Jinxi Zhutian Ancient Kiln Ruins.
Perhaps because we arrived too late,
there wasn't a single other visitor.
We drove around to a villager's house near the lake and parked,
entered through an open gate,
and were amazed by the brick kiln ruins.
Although they are now dilapidated,
and some brick kilns have even collapsed and are overgrown with grass,
they appear extremely historical and weathered in the setting sun.
We had the entire site to ourselves.
