Li Qiao Water Town: A Jiangnan-style New Year

As night falls, the lights come on, and you step into Li Qiao Water Town in Tongling, Anhui, as if you have traveled back in time. The small bridges, flowing water, Hui-style architecture, and people in Hanfu 👘 create a strong New Year atmosphere. This year, I invited my friends to Li Qiao Water Town to witness the collision of tradition and modernity. The fireworks and light show and the performance by the inheritors of intangible cultural heritage opened my eyes! The night here is really beautiful ✨, and every light and shadow tells a story of history. You can also see dragon and lion dances 🐉, night watchmen patrolling the streets, and hear the sound of opera 🎭. Standing here is like walking in a Jiangnan water town in an ancient painting. Moreover, there are many delicacies waiting for you to try, from authentic Tongling snacks to various special pastries, all of which are not to be missed! Coming here for the New Year is really a great experience 🥹
