Yanguan Ancient City

Compared to the crowded Suzhou and Hangzhou, I prefer this low-key dreamlike Jiangnan💕
Last week, I went to Zhejiang with my sisters and discovered a hidden gem in Haining!

🌊 Blue bricks and black tiles, small bridges and flowing water
Not only is it the textbook "Qiantang River Tide Watching" spot,
but also the World Music City🎵

🌉 Recommended check-in spots:
📍 Yanguan Tide Watching Scenic Area (Tide Watching Park)
Address: Shangtang Street, Yanguan Town, Haining City, Zhejiang Province
Opening hours: 8:00-17:00

🏛️ Yanguan Music Town
Address: No. 28 Gucheng Road, Yanguan Town, Haining City
Opening hours: Open all day
Tickets: Free (some music hall performances require separate tickets)

During the two days here
The sound of the tide as BGM🌊
Open the door to a thousand-year-old ancient city
Turn around to a symphony hall🎻
Stay in a vacation spot inside a music museum🏡
It's really so cool!

📸 Photo tips:
1️⃣ The river surface shining with golden light at dusk is the most beautiful
2️⃣ Wearing a qipao or hanfu makes the photos stand out more
3️⃣ Be sure to take photos on the rain-soaked stone slab road for a full Jiangnan misty rain vibe

✨ Recommended accommodation:
Yanguan Kaiyuan Guantang Hotel (antique style, located inside the scenic area)

Listen to the old artists by the river playing the erhu
Watch small boats gently glide past the bluestone roads
This is the Jiangnan of memories～
