Stroll through Taihu Ancient Town and enjoy the tranquility and beautiful moments

Taihu Ancient Town is an ancient water town full of charm. The buildings with white walls and black tiles are antique; the small bridges and flowing water are picturesque. Here, you can stroll through the ancient streets and feel the peaceful atmosphere; taste local food and appreciate the flavor of Taihu Lake. At night, the ancient town is even more brilliantly lit and beautiful. Come to Taihu Ancient Town and experience the different Jiangnan style👀 📍Attraction address: Within Yang Xiaoxian, Taihu Dragon Dream, Changxing County, Huzhou, Zhejiang Province 🚗Transportation to attractions: 🚌Public transportation: Take bus No. 52 (South Taihu Resort Festival Express) to Taihu Ancient Town Shuixiu District (Bar Street) stop, then get off and walk for 9 minutes. 🚘Self-driving: It takes about 16 minutes to drive from Huzhou City to Ancient Town. Shanghai-Guzhen takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes by car 🅿️Guzhen (underground) parking lot: 20 yuan/day 👍Must visit attractions: 1️⃣Yishang Street/Zhuangyuan Street/Xiaoxi Street Yishang Street is a snack street. Basically, it is not a surprise. There are many people on holidays. Zhuangyuan Street and Xiaoxi Street are mostly cultural and creative shops and coffee shops. They are very close to Yishang Street and are great for taking photos📸 2️⃣Fahua Temple Also known as Baique Temple, it is one of the oldest and most influential Buddhist temples in the Taihu Lake area, with a history of more than 800 years. 3️⃣Newport Lighthouse A niche check-in spot by Taihu Lake, very suitable for taking photos📸 📍Navigation: China Railway Tunnel Bureau Group Co., Ltd. 4️⃣Moon Plaza/Fishman Pier The Moon Square on the bank of Taihu Lake is the most famous Huzhou landmark "toilet seat"! As night falls, the lights and shadows of the Moon Hotel change and become dazzling. 5️⃣Taihu Ancient Town When you come to Huzhou, of course you have to go to Taihu Ancient Town to see the intangible cultural heritage - iron flowers, fire pots, and colorful high-altitude fireworks. It is the most romantic thing during the holiday🤩 🎉Must-see shows: 🎆High-altitude fireworks: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (free to watch, closed on rainy days) ⏰Fireworks display time in January Every Saturday night 21:25-21:32 Duration 7 minutes 🌸Intangible Cultural Heritage Iron Flower: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (free to watch, closed on rainy days) ⏰Blacksmith performance time: two shows every night Liyumen, Taihu Ancient Town 18:00-18:12 20:00-20:12 🔥Intangible Cultural Heritage Hot Pot: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 (free to watch, closed on rainy days) ⏰Hotpot performance time Liyumen, Taihu Ancient Town Every Friday and Saturday 19:00-19:05 January 1st 19:00-19:05 💃"Drunk Beauty of Taihu":🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (performed every night) ⏰Performance time Every night 19:30-20:40 👀 Street Art National Trend Show: 🌟🌟🌟 (free to watch, closed on rainy days) ⏰National fashion show performance time January 1st - January 19th 15:30-18:40 January 20th-January 27th 17:00-18:40 🍲Food: 1. Taihu Ahua Farm·Eat Taihu Three Whites 🟡It is 300 meters away from the circus, so you must eat Taihu Three Whites! There will be a queue after 6pm during peak season, so you can book a table in advance to avoid waiting too long. 2. Taihu Family Banquet Landscape Restaurant (Taihu Branch) 🟣In the Fisherman’s Wharf food shopping district, the fried shredded beef with pickled vegetables is very suitable for northern or Sichuan and Chongqing tastes! After dinner, you can take a look around Taihu Lake and check out the Moon Bay toilet seat. 3. Xu Yuanfu·Intangible Cultural Heritage Diggang Chenjia Cuisine (Taihu Branch) 🟠The restaurant facing Taihu Lake at Fisherman's Wharf has a lot of mulberry leaf snacks as special snacks in the store, and some small packaged pastries were given as a gift before leaving. There were a lot of people during meal time, so the service was a bit slow, but it was delicious! Recommended fish ball soup is very delicious! ‼ ️Taihu Ancient Town is a man-made ancient town, and the food and beverages are not cost-effective. It is strongly recommended to eat well in Moon Plaza before going there. 🎟️Ticket related: No tickets required🎫‼ ️‼ ️(Climb the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda 30 yuan/person) 🔖Tickets for the large-scale singing and dancing performance of "Drunken Taihu Lake": 190 yuan/adult, 130 yuan/child 🕑Opening hours: all day 💗Other tips: ✨There is a lot of traffic during holidays and it is difficult to take a taxi after the fireworks (you can make a reservation in advance with Didi). It is recommended to drive there by yourself. ✨Intangible cultural heritage programs are all outdoors, please pay attention to the weather on that day to avoid running out of time ✨The iron flowers, fire pots, and fireworks are all free, so it’s best to get to the viewing spot in advance to reserve a seat ⚠️It is recommended to arrive at your destination early 👍👍👍In short, it is worth watching the ironworks and fireworks, and the photos are also very interesting. To sum it up in one sentence from my son: Look up at the fireworks, look down at the ironworks, hahaha
