【Dual Personality Immersive Experience】
🌅 Daytime Session (09:00-17:00)

【Avoid Pitfalls Guide】
• For Hanfu photos, arrive before 3 PM! Makeup shops close at 5 PM
• Wear non-slip shoes for the night tour! Bluestone paths + mist are very slippery
• Don’t miss the 9 PM full-area light show! Main street buildings become projection screens
