Itinerary

1. Morning: Explore Xiaolan Folk Museum
Go in when the museum opens. There are fewer people at this time, and you can immerse yourself in more than 600 folk cultural relics, from traditional festival eating utensils to exquisite wedding costumes, as well as the restoration of ancient looms and retro barbershops. Every detail tells the long history of Xiaolan. Take a walk slowly in the museum, touch the traces of history, and deeply feel the historical and cultural heritage of Xiaolan.

2. Noon: Food hunting near the chapel
Walking to the chapel, there are many food stalls and specialty shops along the way. You can try the local chrysanthemum fried fish balls, which are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The fragrance of chrysanthemum permeates the fish meat, and it is full of surprises when you bite it; there are also sweet Xiaolan almond cookies, which are crispy and crumbly, and are also perfect as souvenirs. Arrive at the chapel and admire the exquisite intangible cultural heritage lanterns at the door. With them as the background, any photo you take will be a blockbuster.

3. Afternoon: Stroll through the Kanggong Island Artisan Workshop
In the afternoon, step into Kanggong Island and stroll along the small bridges and flowing water to experience the tranquility and poetry of the garden-style cultural and creative park. Then dive into an artisan’s studio to watch traditional skills such as wood carving, pottery, and embroidery being demonstrated live, and maybe even get to try them yourself. When you are tired of shopping, choose a coffee shop or teahouse, order a cup of latte or fragrant tea, and enjoy a relaxing time accompanied by the greenery outside the window.

Experience

🎶The garden style of Kanggong Island is like a miniature of the Jiangnan water town, with a new scene at every step. You can capture the picturesque beauty at any time. The surrounding streets are full of creative and colorful graffiti, which is a great background for taking photos with your girlfriends, and can easily create all kinds of funny and literary blockbusters. There are many shops in the park, whether you are looking for special handicrafts or tasting delicious food, you can find what you want.
