Anonymous userThe ultimate romance of Jiangnan water towns lies in Xizha! Bluestone paths connect ancient Ming and Qing dynasty buildings, over 70 stone bridges span the waterways, and the blue-dyed fabrics from the Caomu Natural Color Dyehouse sway in the breeze. Take a night cruise on a traditional rowboat, where lantern reflections ripple on the water, and the White Lotus Pagoda's nighttime view is dreamlike. Enjoy morning tea with fresh wontons, tender and flavorful mutton noodles, and sweet and soft Ding Sheng cake. Wake to the ancient town shrouded in mist, tranquil and elegant; at night, admire its dazzling lights—an immersive experience that will leave you wanting more!

爱旅行的仙仙女I've visited many ancient towns—Zhouzhuang, Jinxi, Nanxun, Wuzhen…to be honest, the scenery is all quite similar. But Puyuan Ancient Town is truly different. This modern ancient town, built over nine years, has its own unique charm and is definitely worth a visit. There's no fixed route for sightseeing; the town is quite large, so as long as you have the stamina, you're good to go. The key is that it's not crowded and the scenery is beautiful, making it impossible to stop taking photos. Every snapshot is a masterpiece! Just strolling around and snapping pictures is a wonderful experience. For families with children, the Water Street is a must-see. For photography enthusiasts, Fushan Temple, Shufang Zen Garden, and Xiangyun Pavilion are must-sees. It's especially beautiful this season. Once you go, you'll discover that Puyuan's design aesthetics are top-notch. Whether in terms of scale, detail, or scenery, it's an underrated ancient town. 👍
