Canal Chill

#springitinerary Tongli is like stepping into a real-life time capsule, canals everywhere, stone bridges, and these cute old houses that make you wanna slow down and soak it all in. It’s way less crowded than some other spots, so you get those peaceful vibes without fighting the tourist mobs. Walking around feels super chill, you can hop on a tiny boat to cruise the canals or just stroll through narrow alleys lined with little shops and snack stalls. The food is surprisingly good, and the local pastries are next-level. Bonus: there’s a bunch of cute teahouses where you can sit, sip some tea, and watch life go by. At night, the lanterns come out and the whole town lights up in the most magical way. Honestly, Tongli is perfect if you want that old China feel without the chaos. Easy, breezy, and full of charm. Would go back in a heartbeat.
