Traditional Experiences at Your Fingertips: Gubei Water Town Store Adventure

As you stroll leisurely, you'll naturally find yourself stopping at charming stores. From a herbal medicine shop with a subtle aroma, to calligraphy workshops where you can try writing yourself, and handmade pastries baked with care—this was a journey not just for the eyes, but for the hands as well. One particularly memorable experience was crafting a small traditional lantern with my name on it at the lantern workshop. These humble yet heartfelt stores made the day truly enriching. 📍 Location: Gubei Water Town, outskirts of Beijing, China Booking: Available via the Trip.com app or website
