Snap' Description
Venture to where the old canals meet the mountain ridges at Mudu Ancient Water Town. Established over 2,500 years ago during the Wu Kingdom era, this expansive residential water district is unique because it sits directly at the foot of Tianping Mountain. Winding stone corridors lead past grand imperial retreat gardens like the Yan House (Yan Jia Ting) and Hongyin Shanfang.
