After checking in at 39 ancient towns, I fell in love with this living Chinese ink painting!

Sisters, quickly take this time-travel guide! When the morning mist drapes a veil over the white walls and black tiles, and the grandmas drying silk in the dyeing workshop suddenly turn into silhouettes, I almost thought I had mistakenly entered the Jiangnan chapter of "Dream of the Red Chamber"~ (Exclusive discovery: after the rain, the old silk shop releases the fragrance of mulberry silk!) The Triple Splendid Code of Puyuan Ancient Town 🏮 Water Town Wonders: • The largest Ming and Qing dynasty ancient architecture complex in Jiangnan (with AR guide) • New in 2025: "Night Tour Silk Light Show" 📿 Cultural Easter Eggs: • Traditional silk reeling experience (including silkworm observation) • Hidden "Pingtan Morning Tea" reservation seats 🚫 Pitfall Guide: • Popular "Silk Ice Cream" has a strong artificial flavor • "Handmade Silk Quilts" at the entrance are mostly synthetic fiber 2025 Transportation Pitfall Guide 🚄 High-speed rail benefit: Tongxiang Station → Tourist shuttle (includes silk bookmark) 🚢 Waterway Easter Egg: Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal branch cruise (includes tea and snacks) ⚠ Note: Weekend traffic restrictions on Temple Front Street Accommodation Smart Guide 🏡 First choice: Riverside homestay (includes tie-dye experience) 🏨 Cost-effective: Youth hostel (includes ancient town map) 🚫 Pitfall: So-called "river view rooms" may face electrical boxes 📅 2 Days 1 Night Splendid Schedule In-depth Experience Version: Day 1: Fushan Temple → Silk Museum → Night tour of the ancient town Day 2: Dyeing workshop experience → Meijing Theater → Return trip (Alternative: visit the Silk Culture Museum on rainy days) 2025 Lifesaving Tips 🧥 Light jacket (big temperature difference between morning and evening) 👟 Non-slip shoes (wet bluestone roads are slippery) 📱 Power bank (night photography consumes power quickly) Water Town Special Easter Eggs 🍚 Sister-in-law Cake (includes making experience) 🍶 Sanbai Liquor Workshop (includes cellar visit) 🚫 Note: "Handmade embroidery" is mostly machine embroidery Walking on the singing thousand-year-old stone slabs, I suddenly understood what "China's No.1 Silk Town" means!
