Zhujiajiao Ancient Town (11:30-13:00) 【Highlights】A more lively ancient town than Zhouzhuang, with well-preserved Ming and Qing architecture and rich traditional handicraft experiences. Try making hand fans or dyeing cloth to feel the delicate craftsmanship of Jiangnan artisans. 🎨 【Practical Tips】For lunch, we recommend an "old brand" restaurant to enjoy a delicious bowl of "river fresh noodles" that will satisfy your taste buds! Affordable prices and elegant environment. Afternoon: Modern art and natural scenery, enjoy the colorful city life 🎨🌿 3. Kunshan Huaqiao International Shopping Center (14:00-15:30) 【Highlights】One-stop experience for shopping, leisure, and photography!

Qiandeng Ancient Town (16:00-17:30) 【Features】Known as the "Jiangnan’s First Lantern Festival Ancient Town," with quaint streets, ancient bridges, and flowing water. The sunset adds a poetic touch.
