With its crisscrossing waterways, numerous ancient bridges, and black-tiled, white-walled Jiangnan-style houses lining the riverbanks, it resembles a flowing ink painting. Stroll along the ancient bridges of Yuehe, watch the sunset paint the river gold, listen to the gentle splash of oars, and experience the tranquility and leisure of a Jiangnan water town. Wander through the narrow, ancient alleyways, lined with quaint shops selling traditional handicrafts and local snacks, and feel as if you've stepped back into a bustling marketplace from centuries ago. Find a riverside teahouse, order a pot of tea, listen to a melodious Pingtan performance, and immerse yourself in the unique charm of Jiangnan culture. Dusk at Yuehe Historic District is poetic, romantic, and enchanting. Here, you can slow down, feel the passage of time, savor the charm of history, and embark on an unforgettable twilight journey!
