Dual Perspectives by Land and Water · A Different Way to Understand Gusu By land: Trishaws weave through alleys, entering the white walls and black tiles of ordinary people’s homes. By water: Painted boats listen to Pingtan, watching ancient city walls, old bridges, and houses pass by in sequence from the canal. Two perspectives, one Jiangnan.
Climb the Pagoda + Ascend the City Gate + Cross the Bridge · Full Experience of Panmen’s Three Sights Climb Ruiguang Pagoda to overlook the canal, stand on the 600-year-old land and water city gate to look back at history, and walk across Wumen Bridge—this is China’s only completely preserved land and water parallel ancient city gate, and also a World Heritage site of the Grand Canal, full of historical weight.
