SOUTH LAKE, JIAXING · THE CRADLE OF MODERN CHINA IN CLASSICAL GARDENS

#chinatravel Glide across "the lake of a hundred islets", where in 1921, a single red tourist boat hosted history’s most consequential tea party, while today, willow-draped pavilions and moon bridges continue their 1,300-year dialogue with the waters. ✔ TIMELESS EXPERIENCES → Red Boat Pilgrimage – Board the replica of the 1921 Congress vessel → Mandarin Duck Pavilion – Spot pairs of the lake’s namesake birds among lotuses → "Fragrant Rice" Cruise – Taste Jiaxing zongzi steamed with lakeside reeds
