A World Heritage Oasis

#hellohalloween
Tongli Ancient Town (同里古镇) is unique among water towns for housing a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site, the Tuisi Garden (退思园). This late Qing Dynasty garden breaks from tradition by being intentionally built close to the water, giving it a serene, intimate atmosphere where half of the landscape seems to float on the pool.
Exploring the garden offers a refreshing contrast to the narrow alleys of the town. The atmosphere inside the Tuisi Garden (退思园) is one of contemplation and refined artistry, featuring delicate pavilions, rockeries, and winding paths. It is an essential part of the Mudu experience, showcasing the high culture and elegance of its former official residents.
