Hello! Last week, my friends and I discussed our plans to visit Zhejiang, and Puyuan Fashion Ancient Town was highly recommended by numerous locals. After perusing the travel guides, I was instantly captivated and decided to make it the first destination of our Zhejiang trip.

Its quaint elegance and intricate carvings are truly breathtaking, surpassing any literary portrayal of Jiangnan.
