Historically, it was one of the important docks on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, bustling with commerce and active cultural exchanges.

Compared to the daytime, I prefer Yaowan at night. The colorful lights adorn the ancient town, turning it into a fairyland. Evening activities are rich, such as Yan Family Blacksmith Shop, water flying shows, and the spectacular iron flower forging on the inner river, where countless sparks scatter like thousands of stars falling into the Milky Way!
