Encounter the most beautiful fairyland and experience a different style | Yaohu Town.
"I will grow old in Tianyang, only because of the beautiful mountains and rivers." Here, with white walls and black tiles, small bridges and flowing water, you can take a boat on the lake and look into the distance at the mountains, or take a small train through the thousands of acres of bamboo forests and tea fields, and experience the endless charm of intangible cultural heritage. Most of the buildings are in the style of Jiangnan water towns. The town is built on a small hill beside the reservoir, with varying heights and staggered layouts. There are large water wheels, ancient houses, and ancient streets and alleys in Jiangnan water towns, all of which are great places to take photos. The ancient Ding Shu kilns, which have been passed down from the Ming Dynasty, have also been replicated here.
