休息的羽翼Wuzhen's East Gate is indeed less commercialized and more authentic; seeing the old houses is quite interesting. West Gate is relatively more exciting, with more crowds, especially at night. The Grand Theatre is beautiful, and the water curtain performance at Lingshuiju is unique. I checked out various popular restaurants; thankfully it was the off-season, so the queues weren't too long, and I ate my way through the area until I was full. This is a place worth visiting to experience a typical Jiangnan water town.

爱旅行的仙仙女I've visited many ancient towns—Zhouzhuang, Jinxi, Nanxun, Wuzhen…to be honest, the scenery is all quite similar. But Puyuan Ancient Town is truly different. This modern ancient town, built over nine years, has its own unique charm and is definitely worth a visit. There's no fixed route for sightseeing; the town is quite large, so as long as you have the stamina, you're good to go. The key is that it's not crowded and the scenery is beautiful, making it impossible to stop taking photos. Every snapshot is a masterpiece! Just strolling around and snapping pictures is a wonderful experience. For families with children, the Water Street is a must-see. For photography enthusiasts, Fushan Temple, Shufang Zen Garden, and Xiangyun Pavilion are must-sees. It's especially beautiful this season. Once you go, you'll discover that Puyuan's design aesthetics are top-notch. Whether in terms of scale, detail, or scenery, it's an underrated ancient town. 👍
