So this is the ancient town in Zhejiang that has a history of a thousand years! I regret not coming here sooner!

The history of Puyuan Fashion Ancient Town dates back a thousand years. After nine years of protection and development, it now presents itself like a real-life version of 'A Dream of Splendor'❗️ I just came back from there, checked in at many celebrity-favored photo spots, and organized tips for food, accommodation, and travel. Remember to save this first~ · 📍｜Puyuan Fashion Ancient Town 🈺️｜Opening hours: 9:00-22:00 🚗｜1.5h drive from Hangzhou/Shanghai, 35min taxi from 'Tongxiang Station' by high-speed train 1⃣️Fushan Temple There are two huge ancient ginkgo trees from the Southern Song Dynasty inside the temple, nearly a thousand years old. Now is the golden yellow season, perfect for photography! It's the same photo spot used by celebrities like Ni Ni and Jing Tian. 2⃣️Siwan Street An ancient street with unique Song Dynasty characteristics, also the main red carpet route for celebrities.
