A dual experience: the bustling business district and the tranquility of the ancient bridge

A journey of bustling prosperity and tranquility: Shanghai · Dragon Dream → Puyuan

This trip began with a glimpse into the bustling city at Dragon Dream Shanghai. 🏙️
The Dragon Dream shopping district offers everything from authentic local snacks to popular restaurants. In the evening, stroll to the Bund, where the river breeze caresses your face and the lights of countless homes shimmer, creating a breathtaking spectacle of the city's dazzling nightscape.

After leaving the bustling city behind, we arrived at Puyuan Ancient Town, near Wuzhen. 🌿
Here, there's less touristy crowds and more of the leisurely Jiangnan atmosphere. The bluestone pavements, flowing water over ancient bridges, and mottled eaves create a picture in every photo. Sit down in a small cafe, and the sunlight filtering through the wooden windows imbue your journey with a gentle, slow-paced experience. ☕

👉 This journey offers both the modern bustle of Shanghai and the tranquility and poetry of Jiangnan. 📌 Recommendation: If you depart from Shanghai, you can arrange a visit to Puyuan on the way. The dual experience of the city and the ancient town will make your journey more layered.
