Second time visiting Shajiabang! Upon entering the scenic area, a large reed marsh comes into view. The reeds sway in the breeze. Stroll along the winding path and feel the unique tranquility and poetry of the Jiangnan water town. 🛶 Take a rowing boat through the reed maze. The boatman rows the boat slowly, as if traveling back to the years of war, with a full immersive experience. 🎬 There are also wonderful live performances. The actors are very devoted and vividly reproduce the revolutionary history of Shajiabang, which is touching. This time I chose the newly opened Manxin Mansion 🏨.
