I’ve found a hidden gem!

#discoverchina There’s a thousand-year-old, lesser-known ancient town near Hangzhou that’s free to visit, uncrowded, and absolutely beautiful—it even appeared in Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains! Think: Ming and Qing dynasty architecture, cobblestone paths, traditional stoves, and interconnected homes… It truly feels like stepping into a watercolor painting of Jiangnan 🎨✨ Save this guide! 🌟 Why You Must Visit: 🆓 Totally free to explore – Unless you enter the museum areas, you don’t need to pay anything. 👑 Hometown of Sun Quan’s descendants – With over a thousand years of history, it’s even a filming location for period dramas. 📷 Photographer’s dream – Ancient architecture, quiet alleys, no crowds (except during big holidays). 🧘 Peaceful & uncrowded – You can literally have the place to yourself for a Hanfu photoshoot. 🚗 Super accessible – Just 1.5 hours’ drive from Hangzhou. You can also take a train + short taxi ride. 🗺️ Must-See Spots & Itinerary: 1️⃣ Ming & Qing Old Street A stone-paved street lined with little traditional shops. Try the fried gluten balls and sweet rice wine buns—just 5 RMB for a filling snack! 2️⃣ Ink Pool Under the Moon Reflection of the gray tile roofs and white walls in the water—like a painting come to life. Go around sunset for max photo vibes! 🌙📸 3️⃣ Longmen Stream Watch locals wash clothes or play by the water. In summer, you can dip your feet, catch fish—super chill and relaxing. 4️⃣ Yimen Gate One of the most iconic locations for costume dramas. Perfect spot to dress in Hanfu and shoot stunning photos! 5️⃣ Ancient Architecture Cluster Everywhere you walk, you’re surrounded by old wooden doors, brick walls, and traditional carvings—it’s like being in an old movie. #thingstodo #travel
