So far, my favorite thousand-year-old ancient city has appeared!!!

This place truly lives up to Emperor Qianlong's strict selection!!! It's where Emperor Qianlong visited six times during his southern tours, and also the former residence of famous figures like Xu Zhimo and Wang Guowei. Many ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties are still preserved here. Today, let's follow in Emperor Qianlong's footsteps and explore this severely underrated treasure of an ancient city in Zhejiang—Yanguan Ancient Town!! 📝【2 Days & 1 Night Itinerary】 Day 1: Yanguan Tide Wall ➠ Gongchen Gate ➠ North Street ➠ Imperial Dock ➠ Chenge Mansion ➠ Police Station ➠ Music House Museum ➠ Sunset at the City Wall ➠ Yanguan Tide Wall ➠ Ancient Town Night View Day 2: Sea God Temple ➠ Jin Yong Academy ➠ Confucian Temple & School ➠ Wang Guowei's Former Residence ➠ Tide-Watching Park ➠ Zhan'ao Tower ❶ Sea God Temple A palace-style building dedicated to sea worship, grand in scale and exuding imperial majesty everywhere. ❷ Jin Yong Academy Built in the style of a Jiangnan garden, it houses a vast collection of works by Mr. Jin Yong, vividly displayed. ❸ Tide-Watching Park Known as the "No. 1 Holy Land for Tide-Watching," it offers the best vantage point to witness the tidal bore. Check the tide schedule before going and arrive early to secure a good viewing spot. ❹ Haining Museum Free admission, closed on Mondays. The museum isn't very large, featuring special exhibitions (calligraphy and painting) on the first floor, a lantern exhibition on the second floor, and a fine arts exhibition in the basement. The main highlight is this hall. ❺ Jin Yong Academy If you're a fan of Jin Yong's novels, it's worth a visit. You might discover several novels you weren't familiar with before. 🏨【Accommodation Recommendations】 It's recommended to stay near Yanguan Ancient Town. Besides the ancient town itself, there are attractions like the Hundred-Mile Qiantang Tide-Watching Scenic Area and Tide-Watching Park nearby, making transportation convenient. I stayed at Gushu Yiju—the rooms are spacious, clean, and well-equipped. You can even watch the tidal bore directly from the balcony, experiencing its grandeur without leaving your room.
