Finally, I've caught the Traditional Chinese Spring Tour Season at Huishan Ancient Town

As someone who loves exploring ancient towns in Jiangnan, I've finally experienced the "Traditional Chinese Spring Tour Season" at Huishan Ancient Town! I just experienced the first night tour 🌃 and was completely speechless with its beauty—when azaleas 🌸 meet the shimmering lights, when historical figures step out from paintings, this is exactly what spring in Jiangnan should look like! Take this immersive guide to unlock countless ways to enjoy the ancient town at night~ 🌟【Must-Visit Highlights | Time Travel to Prosperous Jiangnan in an Instant】 1️⃣ China Azalea Garden · Spring-Limited Romance Stepping into this national-level specialized azalea garden feels like entering a dreamland of azaleas! Over a hundred varieties bloom competitively—vibrant wild azaleas cover the hillsides while colorful Western azaleas appear dewy and gorgeous. Here, every photo captures the essence of spring! Stand among the flowers and let them surround you for ethereal shots, or use ancient pavilions as backgrounds with azaleas in the foreground to create layered, classical-style photos. 2️⃣ Traditional Chinese Parade · Full of Local Flavor (19:15-20:30) Following NPCs through ancient alleys is so much fun! Lantern light reflects on bluestone paths, instantly transporting you to a thousand-year-old Jiangnan night market! The traditional bench dragon, with its head adorned with golden tassels, weaves through ancient alleys following the drumbeats. When the dragon body undulates, its scales shimmer under the lanterns—impossible to capture it all on your phone! 3️⃣ Jichang Garden · Interactive Time Travel with Historical Figures (19:00-21:00) At Golden Lotus Bridge, famous figures from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties emerge one by one through a time tunnel. In Jichang Garden, interact closely with these "historical figures": Xu Xiake carries his travel pack while appreciating the scenery, Su Shi holds a round fan composing poetry, and Emperor Qianlong even jokes in Wuxi dialect: "Of all my Jiangnan travels, Huishan suits my taste the best!" 🗺️【Night Tour Route | 3-Hour Immersive Experience】 Start with the traditional parade at Zhang Zhongcheng Temple—watch the Jiangnan water show at Yingshan Lake—see the time-travel show at Golden Lotus Bridge—interact with historical figures at Jichang Garden 🍽️【Taste of Jiangnan | Seasonal Spring Delicacies】 ✔️ Qingtuan (rich mugwort aroma with smooth red bean paste filling) ✔️ Wuxi Soup Dumplings (freshly steamed, with broth so delicious you'll want to lick your fingers!) ✔️ Huishan Oil Pastry: Crispy outer shell coated with sesame fragrance ⚠️【Helpful Tips】 1. Wear comfortable Hanfu; stone paths can be slippery, so avoid high heels 2. Bring a power bank! The night scenery is so photogenic, your phone battery won't last As I left the ancient town, the warm glow of lanterns still reflected on my face. The romance of Jiangnan is found not only in the poetry of famous scholars but also in every carefully designed light and flower shadow. This spring, you must come to Huishan Ancient Town to experience a "Jiangnan dream"~ 🌿
