🌸 Food Recommendations
Xun Ti: A local specialty, braised pig's trotters that are soft and flavorful.
Xiu Hua Jin Cai: A local vegetable, fresh and tasty.
Ding Sheng Gao: A traditional Jiangnan cake, symbolizing good luck.
Recently, I went to Huzhou and tried Longmen BBQ. The blanched cuttlefish mouth was tender and springy, the oysters were soaked in a rich sauce, and the spicy mustard sauce of Taihu No. 1 perfectly combined spiciness and sweetness. The wet-spicy beef was incredibly delicious.
Special mention goes to their swamp shrimp, each one plump and juicy, with firm and bouncy flesh, perfect with a drink.

Hanfu or Qipao, which add more charm to your photos in the ancient town.
‼️ Essential Items
Sunscreen, comfortable shoes, and a camera.
