Mornings awakened by birdsong,
the moment you push open the carved wooden window ☁️—
the upturned eaves of Yiyuan Garden behind the house hook a wisp of mist.
The aroma of breakfast drifts from the shops along the bluestone-paved East Street,
as a granny next door crosses the century-old bridge with her bamboo basket.
Suddenly, you understand what a "living ancient town" truly means.
The midnight black magic—
bare feet on cool black-gold stone slabs,
the entire courtyard transforms into an immersive exhibition hall,
hiding a speakeasy bar with seasonal cocktails,
while the old house beams hum Song dynasty poetry in the dark.
▫️ Waterside Living | Open the window to the town’s canal, <50m from Guanghui Bridge
▫️ Exclusive Access | Back gate leads directly to Yiyuan (skip the line with face recognition)
▫️ Local Flavor | Downstairs lies the century-old "Zhuangyuan Lou" noodle house
