If I had to pick one summer retreat, I'd recommend coming here.

I've visited many ancient towns this year, but "Puyuan Fashion Ancient Town" still fills me with joy.

The water towns of Jiangnan are where rivers and banks entwine, where reflections and reality gaze at each other. As boats glide by, the water ripples like silk being gently parted, only to seamlessly mend again at the stern.
If you want to escape the crowds and experience the tranquility of Jiangnan, this is the perfect choice for you.

At **Puyuan Pier** 🚣, you can take a rowing boat to soak in the beauty of the water town. There are also occasional summer activities, like NPCs on board armed with water guns for thrilling water fights—so much fun!

If you visit the **Water Meditation Hall** 🧘, you can join a guided sound meditation session. After relaxing, head across to paddle a small boat or try stand-up paddleboarding for some excitement. Vendors on boats selling snacks add to the lively atmosphere—it's absolutely delightful!

At sunset, head to the infinity pool on the rooftop of **Meishang Resort Hotel** 🌅 to witness a breathtaking sunset and snap some unforgettable photos.

In the evening, gather with friends at **Candle Street** 🍻 to enjoy the cool breeze, watch an open-air movie, and savor delicious food. Then, pop into the nearby pub for a drink with your loved ones, cherishing these special moments together.

As night falls, warm yellow lights outline the ancient town's silhouette. Moonlit bridges sway gently under lantern glow, while Hanfu shops, teahouses, and storytelling venues blend tradition with modernity. Puyuan quietly tells its story, woven between history and the present.
