1. 1Arrival Day – Flexible Cultural & Night Tour Experience⌄

   A free-entry cultural town on the Lishui River, best visited after dark when lanterns illuminate the traditional architecture. Highlights include riverside night views, intangible heritage craft shops, and folk performances. You can also catch molten-iron fireworks and water-dragon parades.

   Step into a real-life "Spirited Away" — a dreamy ancient town perched on a thundering waterfall. Glowing lanterns, misty stone lanes, and stilt houses light up at night like a magical spirit world. No face needed — just wander, feast, and get lost. Pure enchantment!
