A while ago, I visited Huishan Ancient Town, where history meets modernity and nature harmonizes with culture. With free entry and open 24 hours, it was easy to explore the town's beauty.
Huishan Temple, one of the 480 temples from the Southern Dynasties, amazed me with its 600-year-old hermaphroditic ginkgo tree next to the Imperial Stele Pavilion. Jichang Garden, one of Jiangnan's four famous gardens, offered stunning landscapes with water features, pavilions, red maples, and lake reflections. The Second Spring Under Heaven, with its red maple trees and plump koi fish, was a serene spot.
The visitor center provided free luggage storage, umbrellas, and wheelchairs, making the visit convenient. Visiting in the morning was best, as most shops closed around 3-4 PM. Huishan Ancient Town's charm and cultural beauty left a lasting impression. I highly recommend exploring its unique allure.
