The undying love story of 'Liang Zhu turning into butterflies', the story of 'Meng Chang returning the pearl' with integrity, and 'Fan Li retiring to the lake' all took place on this land. The residential houses, shops, and bridges here still maintain the typical architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, with riverfront pavilions, ordinary lanes, and everywhere you can see carved large bricks, flying eaves and upturned corners, lotus-leaf-shaped gables, horse-head walls, stone arch bridges... Every frame, every scene, every brick, and every tile immerses one in the tranquility of good old times and the peacefulness of the present. Go with the flow and see the world 😂
