📚 Shuyuanmen Ancient Culture Street

#summervacay On a warm summer afternoon, we wandered down Shuyuanmen Ancient Culture Street, where red lanterns swayed lazily above stone lanes lined with old wooden shopfronts. Calligraphers sat outside their doorways, deftly brushing ink onto rice paper while curious visitors watched. The scent of sandalwood drifted from tiny stalls selling carved seals and jade pendants, mingling with the sweetness of candied hawthorns sold on sticks. 🎨🖌️🏮 In the heat, we paused under leafy arches to sip chilled sour plum juice, listening to the soft murmur of merchants chatting in shaded doorways. Nearby, artists painted delicate landscapes fans and scrolls, each stroke capturing misty mountains and quiet pavilions. As we continued on, it felt like summer had slowed the whole street into a gentle, timeless rhythm, perfect for lingering a little longer. 🌿🍹📜 #thingstodo #travel
