Yuehe Historic Street: A Living Legacy by the Water

#discoverchina Once part of the ancient Grand Canal over 1,700 years ago, Yuehe Historic Street carries the essence of old Jiaxing. Built alongside the water, its white walls, grey-tiled roofs, and charming bridges create a picture-perfect cultural retreat. Today, the street buzzes with energy—traditional snacks, cozy bars, and a lively flower-and-bird market add layers of vibrancy to its historic charm. And if there’s one thing you must try here, it’s Jiaxing’s famous rice dumplings. The flavors speak of tradition, and you can even dive into their history at the dedicated Zongzi Museum. A taste of heritage awaits in every corner. 🌉🏮✨
