Besides this well-known figure, it is also the birthplace of 'the master of academia' Cai Yuanpei, and the sacred learning ground for historical figures such as Liu Zongzhou and Huang Zongxi. Within this old town district, captivating ancient city tales from over a thousand years are hidden. 🏘Flanked by the uneven heights of shops along the bluestone-paved roads, the density of small taverns, coffee shops, grocery stores, and handmade workshop stores is just right, avoiding overwhelming congestion. Shops are adorned with curtain signs and small red lanterns, sketching the simple taste of Jiangnan residences, and as you walk along, you begin to wonder if you've stepped into the depths of time. 🎶The coming and going of tourists doesn't affect the rich life atmosphere of the district. Clothes just washed hang in front of windows, daily sundries are stacked at doorways, and families living by the water lead lives as calm and composed as the flowing water before their homes. 🌈Sampans glide across the water surface, young tourists check in and take photos on the bridges, and riverside families hang clothes outside their houses. The trivialities and poetry of life are framed together, and as the boat sails on, one glimpses one or two flavors of the myriad tastes of life.
