Dragon Boat Festival in Nanxun Ancient Town, encounter the poetic water town

#Dragon Boat Festival good places During the Dragon Boat Festival, Nanxun Ancient Town is a rare leisurely choice. This is the only ancient water town in Jiangnan that combines Chinese and Western styles, and has a profound historical heritage. In the early morning, you can stroll through Baijianlou and participate in the traditional ritual of "tying colorful ropes and hanging calamus" and feel the authentic Dragon Boat Festival atmosphere. In the afternoon, visit Zhang Jingjiang's former residence and Jiayetang Library to experience the culture of the century-old merchant group. In the evening, sit in a teahouse along the river, taste three courses of tea, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of lanterns reflected on the water. If there are intangible cultural heritage performances such as dragon boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival, you can experience the strong festive atmosphere. In terms of food, Dingsheng cake is a pastry limited to the Dragon Boat Festival. The dough is filled with red bean paste and printed with "dragon boat" and "zongzi" patterns, giving it a full sense of ritual. Transportation is also quite convenient. You can take the Shanghai or Hangzhou high-speed rail to Huzhou Station, and then take a car or bus to arrive. Here, you can put aside your busy life and enjoy the leisurely Dragon Boat Festival.
