Kidnapped by an Ancient Town! This Secret Spot in Tongxiang Kept My Kid Away for 3 Days

Help me, everyone! I took my 6-year-old to brave Puyuan Fashion Ancient Town, and we ended up trapped in the Song Dynasty by a "time machine"😭 This 1,300-year-old treasure turned my child into the main character of a time-travel drama!!! 🚗 Traffic Adventure A 1.5-hour drive from Shanghai almost turned into a "prison break"! My kid built a "pyramid" with Jiaxing zongzi in the back seat, but the moment we saw the Fushan Pagoda spire—those blue tiles and white walls stacked like blocks to the clouds—my child instantly transformed into a "human GPS": "Mom, turn left! There are immortals over there!" 🛶 Spiritual Experience at Shuangfang Zen Garden When mist spread over the water, my kid thought we'd crashed a Heavenly Peach Banquet! Blowing "fairy air" with a bubble machine and trying to practice qinggong by walking on stepping stones🌫️ (I recommend wearing non-slip shoes—this mom performed a real-life version of "eagle catching chicks") 🐱 Cat Planet Riot The Three-Colored Cat House drove my kid crazy! Voice cracking with excitement when pressing the cat paw button, and when the giant calico cat opened its eyes, all the kids in the square screamed collectively😻 (Secret tip: meow like a cat and staff will give you stickers) 🚤 Time Travel at Pushi Lang Wharf The blue-hour rowing boat experience was divine! My kid counted 13 stone bridges while reciting ancient poems, and when reaching "Outside Suzhou City at Cold Mountain Temple," suddenly asked: "Did Zhang Ji visit here too?" The boatman laughed so hard he almost dropped his oar😂 🌳 Magical Encounter at Fushan Temple's Ancient Trees We had an impromptu nature class under the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree! While collecting fallen leaves for specimens, my kid discovered an ant "highway"🐜 The dreamlike wooden architecture in the temple was studied like giant LEGO pieces for structural analysis 🍜 My Little Foodie's Song Dynasty Adventure ▪️ Watching Dingsheng Cake being steamed live made mouths water, successfully getting my picky eater to devour three pieces ▪️ The sweet vs. salty debate over Gusao Biscuits sparked a family discussion, with my kid inventing the "lick first, then bite" eating method ▪️ The three-white rice wine glutinous rice balls at the outdoor tea house were worshipped as "immortal soup" and finished in one go 📸 Magical Spots That Filled Our Memory Cards ✔️ The Rain Listening House created artificial rain on a sunny day, with my kid spinning in circles using lotus leaves as umbrellas ✔️ The oil paper umbrella formation at Puchuan Rain Lane, where my kid walked with such attitude they demanded "one more round" ✔️ The wooden lattice windows at Meijing Theater became natural picture frames, with my kid's improvised shadow play drawing applause from passersby 💰 Bankruptcy-Level Time Travel Bill ▪️ Ancient town tickets: 60 yuan (free for under 1.2m!) ▪️ Rowing boat: 80 yuan/person (worth 20 recited ancient poems) ▪️ Hanfu rental: 100 yuan/hour (including deposit for tassels my kid broke) ▪️ Children's handicraft experience: 50 yuan (the plant-dyed handkerchief is now a dishcloth) Now my kid asks daily "When can we go back to the Song Dynasty to be little scholars?" This ancient town has raised the bar for family trips to time-travel level! I heard there's a lantern night tour for Mid-Autumn Festival🏮 This mom is already secretly learning how to make oil paper umbrellas. Anyone else have kids who want to be ancient people?
