✨ Why It’s Unique
✔ Ecological Time Capsule:
- "Dragon Boat in the Reeds": Glide through 6.5km narrow canals on hand-rowed wooden boats (¥120/hour)
- Floating Markets: September’s Water Lily Festival revives Qing Dynasty trading scenes
✔ Cultural Hideaways:
- Gao Family’s Villa: A restored Qing scholar’s retreat with operatic puppet shows
- Thatched Poetry Hut: Where Tang Dynasty verses are carved into driftwood
