🌈 Yellow Rice Wine Town is also known as Dongpu Ancient Town, the birthplace of Shaoxing yellow rice wine! The white walls and black tiles, and the black awning boats floating by, all exude the charm of the water towns of Jiangnan! Because it is newly built, there are not many people here during the holidays, which makes it even more peaceful!
