"I shall grow old buying land at Yangxian, drawn here solely by these lovely streams and hills" This Jiangnan town highly praised by Su Dongpo not only lets you ride cloud-like trains into springtime scenery, but also boasts celestial night views and diverse performances. Come experience two days of heavenly living in this fairy-tale town! 🍵 Must-visit reasons The last hidden gem of Jiangnan! Longchi Mountain Tea Plantation rivals Switzerland Birthplace of Zisha pottery!
