The“Rainbow Highway” and Goose Village — a poetic escape hidden among the mountains and rivers of Liyang, Jiangsu

【CMHnews Post】Winding through the landscapes of southern Jiangsu like a colorful ribbon in the sky, Liyang’s famous Rainbow Highway stretches for 365 kilometers, connecting lakes, bamboo forests, villages, and rolling green hills. Along the route, visitors often stumble upon places that feel almost unreal — among them, Goose Village and the dreamy Shenü Lake.

     Named after the geese animal, the Goose Village has built a surprisingly vibrant local culture around its well-known poultry industry. Today, the area blends countryside charm with family-friendly tourism: goose-themed parks, lakeside resorts, outdoor cafés, and slow rural living have made it especially popular with families and elderly visitors looking for a peaceful escape from city life.

     Meanwhile, nearby Shenü Lake has quietly become one of the region’s most romantic social-media hotspots. With the Rainbow Highway symbolizing “365 days” of companionship and constancy, many young couples come here to confess their feelings, take engagement photos, or simply enjoy coffee by the roadside surrounded by mountains and mist. Somehow, the cafés here manage to feel both wild and artistic at the same time — like a road trip scene from a movie.
