Jinlinwan Love Town (Seven-Character Verse in New Rhyme Scheme)
By Xia Zhen
The charming town is far from the hustle and bustle, with colorful flowers and fresh grass.
The mountains are beautiful with clear water and magnificent buildings, and the clouds and mists make the woods lush.
Tourists come in droves to welcome couples, and poetic charm flows to entertain distinguished guests.
The enchanting scenery captivates souls because of romance, and this place is like a deep river of love.

Set out for Fuxian Lake to seek immortals, driving a hundred miles along the winding mountain road.
The green mountains undulate and run outside the window, and white clouds everywhere approach human settlements.
