Finally understand why the ancients loved Huzhou, it's so beautiful it's breathtaking.

Still worried about where to go on vacation? Today I must recommend a super awesome travel destination - Huzhou! Here, you can find the gentleness of a Jiangnan water town and the magnificence of mountains and lakes. The key is that it's not crowded, so you can easily take beautiful photos📸. Save this itinerary and get ready to go! Itinerary Day 1: Nanxun Ancient Town - Shuanglin Ancient Town Morning: After arriving in Huzhou, head to Nanxun Ancient Town. This is one of the six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, with a profound historical and cultural heritage. Stroll along the stone-paved roads, admire the ancient Ming and Qing Dynasty architecture, and feel the passage of time. Don't forget to visit the Jiayetang Library, a famous private library in modern China with a rich collection of books and a unique architectural style. Noon: Find a riverside restaurant in the ancient town and taste local specialties such as Xun pork trotter, Dingsheng cake, and Xiuhua brocade. Every bite is super satisfying! Afternoon: Head to Shuanglin Ancient Town, which is less crowded and more tranquil than Nanxun Ancient Town. Stroll along the river, look at the ancient stone bridges, and experience the authentic water town life. You can also visit the Shuanglin Sanqiao (Three Bridges), which have a long history and beautiful shapes, and are landmarks of Shuanglin Ancient Town. Evening: Return to the city center and visit Yishang Street, where there are many unique shops and restaurants, and you can also enjoy the night view of Huzhou. Day 2: Mogan Mountain - Yu Village Morning: After breakfast, head to Mogan Mountain. Mogan Mountain is known for its bamboo, springs, clouds, and its clear, green, cool, and quiet environment, making it an excellent summer resort. You can choose to hike up the mountain and enjoy the natural scenery along the way, or take the scenic sightseeing bus for a more relaxed experience. There are many celebrity villas on the mountain, such as Du Yuesheng Villa and Zhang Jingjiang Villa, which are worth exploring. Noon: Have lunch at a restaurant in the Mogan Mountain scenic area and try the local farmhouse dishes. The ingredients are fresh and the taste is amazing. Afternoon: After descending the mountain, head to Yu Village, a small village with an artistic and retro atmosphere. Stroll through the Yu Village Cultural Market, where there are many handicraft shops, cafes, and bookstores, perfect for taking photos. You can also visit the Mogan Mountain Republic of China Library and experience the rich cultural atmosphere. Evening: Stay at a homestay near Yu Village and experience the tranquility of the countryside at night. Day 3: Xiazhu Lake National Wetland Park Morning: Head to Xiazhu Lake National Wetland Park, the largest natural wetland in the south of the Yangtze River, with rich ecological resources. Take a boat trip through the reeds, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and see many rare birds. Noon: Enjoy the lake's fresh seafood at a farmhouse restaurant near the scenic area, such as steamed whitebait and braised snails. The taste is delicious. Afternoon: Continue to explore the wetland park. You can choose to walk along the boardwalk and experience the charm of the wetland up close. You can also visit Crested Ibis Island and see the lovely crested ibises. Evening: End your pleasant journey and return to your warm home. Food Recommendations Xun Pork Trotter: A signature dish of Nanxun Ancient Town, with a reddish color, soft texture, and rich but not greasy taste. Dingsheng Cake: Small in shape, soft in texture, sweet but not greasy, with a light osmanthus fragrance. Xiuhua Brocade: A unique vegetable in Huzhou, with a fresh and tender taste and rich nutrition. Double Sauce Noodles: One of Huzhou people's favorite noodles, with chewy noodles and rich toppings, such as fried fish, eel shreds, and shrimp. Tea Cake: Made with glutinous rice flour, filled with red bean paste, fresh meat, etc., with a soft texture and a fragrant aroma. Things to Note Nanxun Ancient Town and Shuanglin Ancient Town: The roads in the ancient towns are narrow, so walking or taking a rickshaw is recommended. Mogan Mountain: The temperature on the mountain is lower, so remember to bring warm clothes. Xiazhu Lake National Wetland Park: There are many mosquitoes, so remember to bring mosquito repellent. Huzhou cuisine: The taste is on the sweeter side. If you don't have a sweet tooth, you can tell the waiter in advance. Guys, Huzhou is really a great place to travel, so plan your trip now!💖
