Yanguan Tide Watching and Sunrise Viewing

All rivers in the world are rivers🌊
Only here do the tides sing!🎵

Most ancient towns in Jiangnan are gentle as water,
but Yanguan insists on blending the millennium-old tide sounds into the bluestone slabs💃
Here, you can:
👉See the palace where Emperor Qianlong stayed during his six southern tours hidden at the city wall's base
👉Hear Yue opera melodies drifting from the cracks of century-old houses
👉Even watch the magnificent rise and fall of the Qiantang River tide without leaving your room

Two days and one night, you can chase the tide and listen to the waves,
and also explore the alleys to savor the authentic Jiangnan lifestyle🔥
This perfect blend of strength and gentleness can only be found in Yanguan!
