Come to Yanguan in September for a Jiangnan rendezvous with tidal music

Feel like the ancient towns of Jiangnan lack a bit of novelty? That’s because you haven’t met Yanguan yet～🚗 Take the intercity railway from Hangzhou to Yanguan Station, then bus 333 to the scenic area. This millennium-old town hidden in Yanguan perfectly blends the majestic grandeur of the Qiantang River with the gentle elegance of Jiangnan. The must-do here is to catch the "World’s Number One Tide"🌊 Stand on the Tang Dynasty fish-scale stone pond and watch the tide surge like a stampede of thousands of horses—more breathtaking than any textbook description! The best times to watch the tide are on the 1st and 15th of the lunar month, so you can enjoy the charm of the Qiantang tide without squeezing into the crowds on the 18th day of the eighth lunar month. When you’re tired of walking, slip into the old alleys🚶‍♀️ The Han white jade stone archway of the Sea God Temple exudes royal grandeur, the carved beams and painted rafters of the Chen Ge Old Residence carry century-old legends, and a visit to Wang Guowei’s former residence lets you feel the cultural heritage—every brick and tile tells a story. At night, stay at the Yanguan Tide Music City🔆 Lead Singer Music Resort Hotel, that’s the essence🎵 The sound of the tide becomes a natural background track. Wake up to birdsong in the morning, and in the evening, listen to live music on the hotel terrace while watching the sunset—the tide’s roar paired with music creates an unbeatable atmosphere. On the hotel’s basement level is the 📍Music Home Museum, Asia’s only music museum authorized by Austria, housing many ancient instruments and music archives of seven masters. Be sure to check in at the hotel’s 5th-floor terrace at dusk, where immersive live music performances accompany a panoramic view of the Qiantang River sunset. When the grandeur of the tide merges with the melodious music, it’s like a symphony of nature and culture in perfect harmony, elevating the atmosphere to the max. One day is enough to hit the main sights, but staying overnight lets you savor Yanguan’s slow life🥢 Enjoy a bowl of Jiangnan noodles in the morning, and stroll through Yufeng Sauce Garden in the evening to smell the rich aroma of sauce—offering a more authentic, lively vibe than commercialized ancient towns. Friends, if you take the Hangzhou-Hai intercity railway to “Yanguan Station” and then transfer to bus 333, you’ll arrive right at the ancient town’s entrance—no detours! You can cover all the key spots, a real win for culture lovers!🎫 Stop chasing after trendy ancient towns—come to Yanguan for a millennium-long rendezvous with the rise and fall of the tides～✨
