About Yaowan Ancient Town

A thousand-year canal town where the Grand Canal meets Luoma Lake, once so prosperous it was called "Little Shanghai". Grey-brick lanes keep the Wu family compound, Zhao Xinlong sauce garden and the Qing post office; the alleys are free, a joint ticket for core sights costs about CNY 60, and the "Night Yaowan" lantern season runs to 21:00.
