After nine years of protection and development, Puyuan Fashion Ancient Town has unveiled its veil, refreshing my perception of the beauty of ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River.
✨ The scenery is incredibly beautiful
The area of the ancient town is three times that of Wuzhen. You can see the Southern Song Dynasty style buildings by the lake everywhere. The scenery changes with every step you take, and every corner is like a painting. You can take 500 photos without repeating any scenes.
✨ Less crowded
The ancient town was only opened in March this year, and there was no large-scale publicity. Therefore, the scenic area is very quiet. You can tour around quietly without the noise of crowds.

The ancient town has modern fashion exhibitions from time to time. There are also traditional cultural performances such as puppet shows, Tongxiang three jumps, and guzheng performances every day. In the evening, there are open-air movies, singer concerts, and patrolmen patrolling the streets. It's fun 24 hours a day.

In Pu Yuan ancient town, I encountered the most beautiful Jiangnan water town
In Pu Yuan ancient town, I encountered the most beautiful Jiangnan water town. I really love this kind of Jiangnan water town.
Pu Yuan, located under Tongxiang in Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Under the night, the ancient town of Pu Yuan by the mountain and the water, the simple wooden buildings, coupled with the swinging boat in the small river of the ancient town, is really a second through to the real Jiangnan.
The ancient town can also be regarded as a scene at every step, the antique streets, every corner has its own unique beauty.
Perhaps it's a corner, or a step, that can show you different views.
As long as you are good at discovering, you can really shoot the romance of Jiangnan water town in every corner.
The elegant Zen hall + the solemn Fushan Temple
The two characteristic check-in points serve as the opening ceremony venue and show field of this year's Pu Yuan Fashion Week, which truly interprets the traditional national style and modern fashion show can also collide with new sparks.
Shuangfang Zen Garden
The beauty of garden architecture is brought to the extreme, compact and elegant, pavilions and pavilions are scattered high and low, full of artistic conception.
Songyue Pavilion
Built by the water, wooden buildings, thatched roofs, coupled with the tour boat parked on the side, like a ink painting out of the picture.
It is recommended to come at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, it will not be too hot, and there is enough time to take pictures and play, and you can also take pictures of the beautiful ancient town sunset.
If you're tired, you can find a shop to rest, eat something, drink tea, sit by the window by the river and enjoy the beautiful scenery outside, it's also very comfortable.
If you stay later, you can also enjoy the beauty of Jiangnan water town under the night, accompanied by the rustling of insects and the sound of gurgling water, it's really super healing.
A trip to escape the city made me encounter Pu Yuan and made me fall in love with this ancient town far away from the city and full of healing.

The Splendor of the Prosperous Era Puyuan Ancient Town
I heard that a new ancient town has been opened in the south of the Yangtze River. I was delighted to go south to Tongxiang during the autumn appreciation season, passing through villages and small roads, and a large-scale ancient architectural complex came into view among the villages with white walls and black tiles.
Tongxiang Puyuan Town, according to local historical records: The ancient town has a history of nearly a thousand years and was once known as 'Jiahe's Giant Town' for its 'ten thousand pieces of silk at sunrise'. The town was established in the Southern Song Dynasty and was one of the five famous towns in the south of the Yangtze River during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is the first ancient town that the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal passes through after leaving Jiaxing city. Puyuan was formerly known as 'Youhu' and 'Meijing', located in the land of Jiahe, a water town with distinct seasons. It was economically prosperous in history and is the hometown of 'the world's first silk'.
In recent years, after 9 years of protective development and construction, the scale of the scenic area is super large, three times that of Wuzhen Scenic Area. Walking in the scenic area, there are eight main attractions such as 'Fushan Cuileng, Xiangyun Gaotiao, Zhuanglou Xuzhao, Meijing Huawu, Hetang Wanfeng, Huatan Fengleng, Youhu Yueman, Xiyuan Chanxia', etc. The Jiangnan garden water charm of carved buildings, small bridges and flowing water, high eaves and winding corridors is dazzling and attractive, making people feel relaxed and full of joy!
It takes about a day to tour the ancient town, which is suitable for immersive roaming. There are some scene-based performances in the evening. Since it was opened in March this year, the commercial and travel facilities in the scenic area are not fully enriched, and the supporting facilities for eating and living are not mature. It is more appropriate to choose to stay in the center of Tongxiang city on the same day.

If you want to relax on the weekend and avoid the crowd, then Puyuan Fashion Ancient Town is a place that really suits you. When I first heard the name 'Fashion Ancient Town', I thought it might be a modern building built in the later stage, but in fact, it is an ancient town with a history of 900 years, full of ancient charm🛶.
Puyuan Fashion Ancient Town has successfully integrated historical buildings and commercial development, giving people a sense of harmony. You can not only appreciate the elegant historical relics, but also enjoy the thoughtful commercial services. There are tea houses and coffee shops for you to taste tea☕️, and noodle shops and pastry shops for you to feast on🍜. You can also listen to traditional artists' storytelling while eating melon seeds by the river, or watch costume performances in ancient-style restaurants. In the wool shop and painting shop🎨, you can also experience handicraft art yourself. There are different activities and performances at different times, such as 'swing dance' flash mob performances, and live band performances🎸.
I think that the business format of Puyuan Fashion Ancient Town is richer than Wuzhen, and the scenery is also very charming. Most importantly, because it has just been opened not long ago, there are really not many tourists, so it is very suitable to spend a day walking and touring.

This ancient town! I would like to call it the ceiling of Zhejiang
Speaking of the ancient towns in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, the most well-known is probably Wuzhen, but‼️ Few people know that less than half an hour's drive from Wuzhen🚗, there is another newly opened ancient town. It is themed on Tang and Song culture, relies on local historical commerce, and combines fashionable and trendy culture into an ancient town resort. It is Puyuan Ancient Town~ Must-visit check-in points🤩🤩 Puyuan Ancient Town is named after the residence of Puyu in the Southern Song Dynasty, with the style of Jiangnan and the Republic of China coexisting in the scenic area. The area is three times larger than Wuzhen, with green bricks and black tiles, small bridges and flowing water. Compared with the bustling and lively Wuzhen, it is more leisurely and quiet to visit. 1⃣️Zen Hall The Zen Hall is located in front of the Fushan Pagoda, in the middle of the water. You can see it as soon as you enter from the visitor center. The wooden exterior of the building is very shocking and atmospheric, with carved beams and painted buildings. 2⃣️Taiping Lane A distant and quiet alley, the evening sun is low, and it seems to step into the historical afterglow of the Southern Song Dynasty from a distance, and the passage of time slows down with it.🌞 3⃣️Songyue Bridge Wait for the lights to come on, after nightfall, it is the most brilliant spot in the scenic area.🌅 4⃣️Fushan Temple Fushan Temple is located in the scenic area, 🛎️ is the iconic cultural landscape of Puyuan, two 800-year-old ginkgo trees, yellow walls and red tiles, morning bells and evening drums. There is a sense of transcendence from the world. 5⃣️Pray for Blessings Bridge You can see the pagoda of Fushan Temple from a distance, the ancient buildings are hidden, the pagoda is faintly visible, and it has a more quiet atmosphere of the ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River. 🍜Food: The sesame seed cakes on the snack street are crispy and crumbly; the egg yolk dumplings are also unique, with the fragrance of glutinous rice and a whole salted egg yolk. Dining in the homestay in the scenic area is also very affordable, mainly dining by the water, full of atmosphere. - Location: Tongxiang Puyuan Fashion Ancient Town 🚘Transport: Tongxiang High-speed Railway Station / Tongxiang Bus Terminal ⏰Opening hours: Summer: 9:00-22:30|Winter: 9:00-22:00

In Zhejiang, this ancient town is more worth visiting than Wuzhen
This ancient town is Puyuan Fashion Ancient Town, which, like Wuzhen, is located in Jiaxing Tongxiang. It is the first ancient town that the Grand Canal passes through after leaving Jiaxing city. It is one of the five famous towns in the south of the Yangtze River during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and was known as 'Jiahe's Giant Town' during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty because of its 'sunrise over ten thousand pieces of silk'. Attraction: Puyuan Fashion Ancient Town Address: 233 Puchuan Street, Puyuan Town, Tongxiang City, Zhejiang Province ⏰Opening hours: 9:00-22:00 (winter time) Photo Spot Sharing 1⃣️Suofang Zen Garden A Song-style Zen garden that combines ancient performances and tea houses. It's secluded and you need to make a reservation when it's crowded! It's definitely worth a visit for great photos! 2⃣️Top of Beigeng Tower Overlooking the ancient town, it's very photogenic. 3⃣️Fushan Temple A super large ginkgo tree, said to be a thousand years old, is very photogenic. Paired with Hanfu, it was yellow in December last year! 4⃣️Shangxi Street Snack Street Below Beigeng Tower is a snack street, very delicious! · ⭐️The ancient town is really super big, more worth visiting than Wuzhen, hurry up and go!

Don't go to crowded Wuzhen! This Jiangnan ancient town is three times bigger than it.
"When you say it's not too late for spring, I arrive in the real Jiangnan."
Speaking of Jiangnan
A place you must go.
That is the ancient town of Jiangnan.
At the first moment, I guess everyone thought of Wuzhen. But, let me tell you a secret.
A new ancient town has opened up only 0.5 hours' drive away from Wuzhen.
The area is three times that of Wuzhen!! This is the Pu Yuan Fashion Ancient Town.
Inside, the pavilions and towers are exquisitely carved and magnificent, while the old alleys crisscross and the winding paths lead to secluded places.
Ancient trees tower, flowers bloom in clusters, and Hongxingle is joyful.
Stone paths, rowing boats, and small bridges over flowing water are all typical features of the Jiangnan water town. And a nearly 900-year-old ancient ginkgo tree is enough to show the long history of this place.
After years of renovation, it is now officially open to the public!
So, for the next vacation, there's no need to go to crowded Wuzhen anymore.
Treasures that you come across, quickly save them! While not many people know, hurry and grab them.
Attraction: Pu Yuan Fashion Ancient Town
Navigation: Parking lot of Puyuan Fashion Ancient Town Scenic Area.
Travel guide:
Inside the ancient town, there are pavilions, towers, old streets, alleys, small bridges, and flowing water, each step presenting a different scene. The rich and charming style of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River is like vivid ink paintings, bringing comfort and healing!
The scenery is more beautiful at sunrise and sunset. It's absolutely wonderful when the blue lights come on!
For a one-day trip, Baoshi suggests coming in the afternoon and enjoying the night view until evening. If you like boating, you can take a boat ride first to get a glimpse of the ancient town's style, experience the water town's characteristics, and listen to the boatman's explanation. After finding the attractions that interest you, you can walk to explore them in depth. This way, you can have more fun and a more comprehensive experience.
Must-visit check-in spot:
North Geng Building, Shufang Zen Garden, Fushan Temple, Candle Street, Xianzi Beach, Xiangyun Pavilion, Zen Hall, Songyue Lodge, Siyanjing, etc., are all very suitable for taking photos and are super photogenic!
For those who have Hanfu, qipao, or ancient-style clothing, remember to bring them and wear them for a fully immersive photo experience!
Props: oil-paper umbrella, fan, etc.

Soaring Cloud Observatory
Topped with glazed tiles, one can gaze upon the scenery of the South from afar.
Without riding the azure ox, one can traverse the void with a dragon-headed staff at will.
With a broad view of the mountains and rivers, one knows that friends are near, while the universe feels deserted with but a few clouds drifting. ☁️
Soaring Cloud Observatory, originally named Xuanming Observatory, was renamed due to the avoidance of the emperor's name in the first year of the Qing Kangxi era. It was once as renowned as the Xuanmiao Observatory in Suzhou and the Xiuzhen Observatory in Wuzhen, being one of the three famous Taoist observatories in the South.
After the passage of time and changes in history, only the mountain gate of the historical Soaring Cloud Observatory remains, which is a cultural relic protection unit of Tongxiang City.
⛩️ The restored observatory's roof is covered with glazed tiles, towering several meters high, offering a distant view, with its flying eaves and arches fully displaying its grandeur.

Life Advice: Visit an Ancient Town on a Rainy Day
You must visit an ancient town on a rainy day.
🌲
Under the shelter of a green umbrella, walking slowly with lowered brows, at this moment, the entire ancient town is mine.
Walking through the ancient town in the rain, listening to the rain, watching the mist, and gazing at the clouds.
The rain in the south of the Yangtze River, stretching for thousands of miles.
❗️Must-visit spots in the ancient town on a rainy day:
Da Geng Tea House—Wool Shop—Bamboo Craft Workshop
☑️ Da Geng Tea House
Da Geng Tea House is located near Bei Geng Tower. After experiencing the language and culture of the Pu family, sit quietly in front of the corridor and feel the temperature of the rainy season. Sip a bowl of tea accompanied by four small snacks, and with a few good friends, savor the fresh fragrance of white tea that comes from thousands of rivers and mountains.
☑️ Wool Shop
Walking through the stone alley, passing ancient bridges soaked with the scent of rain, and at the corner of the alley, the Wool Shop's old TV plays TV dramas from our memories. Sitting on a rocking chair, gently swaying, is the long stretch of the rainy season.
☑️ Bamboo Craft Workshop
In the evening, experience a session of handicraft in the ancient town at the Bamboo Craft Workshop. Listen to the bamboo zither, with the sound of flowing water, explore inwardly through 'bamboo', and experience the art at your fingertips. Quietly settle the time in the art of weaving.
After the rain, when the sky clears, and the tea in the cup slowly comes to life, bring a few good friends and come to Puyuan Fashion Ancient Town to see the rain~

Writing Challenge | I've Hidden Charm Within the Wind Chimes, ______.
"Light is the measure of the world, circulating the alternation of day and night, nurturing the infinite beauty of all things."
Clouds rest upon the silhouette of the 'Fushan Temple' buildings
Bells unnoticed while standing in the light
In a world of black and white, yet so captivating to the eye
I've hidden charm within the wind chimes
Waiting for you to come close and listen to the millennia of Zen
Black and white as the brush, blue sky as the paper
Sending you a painting that soothes the soul
Come add your copy to the painting~

I prefer the ancient town I visited during the May Day holiday over Wuzhen
Originally, I planned to go to Wuzhen for the May Day holiday, but I thought it would be too crowded,
so I went to Puyuan, which is three times larger than Wuzhen.
I must say, it's an ancient town with a very high level of overall business quality.
🎫Ticket: 60 RMB
I took the high-speed train to Tongxiang station, and directly outside the station, I took the You 3 bus route
straight to the entrance of the scenic area.
The scenic area is large and very photogenic, with beautiful spots everywhere.
It feels super suitable for wearing traditional costumes and taking photos.
Another thing is that there are not many food options inside.
In the end, my friend and I went to Qi Fu Ramen Restaurant and it was quite good.
We bought some 'dunzi' and radish siu bing, and the shumai was also very delicious.
It's just that there was a long queue.
But the other attractions were not crowded.
In the evening, there were various performances.
