    The ultimate romance of Jiangnan water towns lies in Xizha! Bluestone paths connect ancient Ming and Qing dynasty buildings, over 70 stone bridges span the waterways, and the blue-dyed fabrics from the Caomu Natural Color Dyehouse sway in the breeze. Take a night cruise on a traditional rowboat, where lantern reflections ripple on the water, and the White Lotus Pagoda's nighttime view is dreamlike. Enjoy morning tea with fresh wontons, tender and flavorful mutton noodles, and sweet and soft Ding Sheng cake. Wake to the ancient town shrouded in mist, tranquil and elegant; at night, admire its dazzling lights—an immersive experience that will leave you wanting more!

    There weren't many people when I went. The ancient town still had the charm of a Jiangnan water town. The town was mostly filled with guesthouses, shops, and restaurants. The entrance fee was a bit expensive; personally, I didn't think it was worth the price.

    I've visited many ancient towns—Zhouzhuang, Jinxi, Nanxun, Wuzhen…to be honest, the scenery is all quite similar. But Puyuan Ancient Town is truly different. This modern ancient town, built over nine years, has its own unique charm and is definitely worth a visit. There's no fixed route for sightseeing; the town is quite large, so as long as you have the stamina, you're good to go. The key is that it's not crowded and the scenery is beautiful, making it impossible to stop taking photos. Every snapshot is a masterpiece! Just strolling around and snapping pictures is a wonderful experience. For families with children, the Water Street is a must-see. For photography enthusiasts, Fushan Temple, Shufang Zen Garden, and Xiangyun Pavilion are must-sees. It's especially beautiful this season. Once you go, you'll discover that Puyuan's design aesthetics are top-notch. Whether in terms of scale, detail, or scenery, it's an underrated ancient town. 👍

    A very beautiful town, developed by the same developer as Wuzhen, boasts excellent cultural heritage and aesthetics. The antique-style buildings and waterways in the town are very well done. The background music features classical music, mainly cello and violin, with some jazz accompaniment. Walking through this "Chaozhou City of Music" feels like walking through a painting… The former residences of Chen Gelao, Xu Zhimo's soy sauce shop, and Principal Zheng all allow you to feel the local people's emphasis on education and the scholarly atmosphere. The only regret is the lack of a direct view of the tidal bore; the waves I saw weren't very large, but the natural scenery of the Qiantang River flowing upstream was indeed a pleasant surprise.

    Nanhu Lake is not only beautiful, but also filled with historical stories, particularly those related to the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China. There's even a museum there. The scenery is closely integrated with revolutionary education. A guided tour is highly recommended.

    The Halloween carnival was amazing! Parking was convenient, tickets were reasonably priced, and the chocolates inside were delicious 😋. I highly recommend going if there are any special events.

    I've never seen such a desolate 4A-level tourist attraction, practically deserted, but the visitor center is incredibly well-built. It's a good place to experience the desolate beauty of dilapidated old houses covered in creepers. Photography enthusiasts can also create some great photos. It's a shame you can't enter the old houses, otherwise, horror games like ancient escape rooms wouldn't need set designs, and it would be really atmospheric.
