For this tidal wall, I specially came to see the secret city of Jiangnan visited four times by Emperor Qianlong

Emperor Qianlong traveled to Jiangnan six times, stopping four times at the ancient city of Yanguan, capturing the sounds of the tide, ancient charm, and the spring scenery of Jiangnan in his royal journey🌿. This millennium-old city, home to the "World Wonder" Qiantang River Tide, awaits you to stroll slowly and watch quietly~ 📍Destination: Yanguan Ancient City - City of Tidal Music 🚗 Transportation Guide: ✔️Recommended to drive directly for 1 hour (navigate to "Yanguan Ancient City Visitor Center," parking is very convenient) ✔️High-speed train to Haining West Station → taxi about 20 minutes / Bus T111 goes directly ✨【Follow Emperor Qianlong’s footsteps, stroll through Yanguan】 ✨Yanguan Ancient City Tour: Yanguan Tidal Wall → Gongchen Gate → North Street → Imperial Wharf → Chen Ge’s Old Residence → Police Station → Sea God Temple → Jin Yong Academy → Confucius Temple and School → Music Home Museum → Wang Guowei Former Residence → Tide Viewing Park 📸Must-visit photo spots recommended: 1️⃣ Tide Viewing Park · Frontline Tide 🌊Recommended tide viewing time: Spring afternoons from 1-3 PM (tides vary daily, remember to check accurate tide info before your trip~) Climb the Zhan’ao Tower to overlook the river tide like a white ribbon across the sky. Zhenhai Iron Bull and Baishitan Square are perfect for shooting ancient-style photos. You can also enjoy tea while waiting for the tide, leisurely and photogenic! 2️⃣ Gongchen Gate The gate where Emperor Qianlong entered the city during his southern tour, with over 600 years of history and full of a sense of time. Nearby, you can take a rowboat for afternoon tea, drifting on the water with a wide view, perfect for taking photos with your besties! 3️⃣ Imperial Wharf The landing place of Emperor Qianlong, with a broad view and great photo opportunities. Take a rowboat to cruise the water alleys, as if stepping into a painting. 4️⃣ Yanguan Music Home Museum Immerse yourself in the creative process of Vienna’s music masters. The explanations are professional and the interactions fun, suitable even for music novices to enjoy! ✨【Yanguan Must-Do Experience List】✨ ✅ Qianlong-style hot pot feast: Enjoy hot pot atop the city wall, with the fragrant flavors of Jiangnan copper pot. ✅ Rowboat afternoon tea: "Tide Sound Drunken Jiangnan" boat experience, about 98 RMB per person. ✅ Jin Yong Academy: A pilgrimage for martial arts fans, tickets 30 RMB, feel the spirit of the martial world. ⏰Best tide viewing days are recommended from the 1st to 5th and 15th to 20th of the lunar month, when the tide and sunset together create an even more stunning scene! 🏨 Accommodation recommendation: "Xuande Gate Hotel," located inside the scenic area, converted from a Song Dynasty-style aesthetic courtyard. 📍The location is unique and convenient for visiting all attractions. 📸Popular photo spot: When the tide is "released" at the Yanguan tidal wall on the hour, shooting from the side gives the most stunning effect!
