#Liqiao Water Town Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Tongling City, Liqiao Shuitown | Prosperity has fallen, only tranquility and beauty remain
Liqiao Shuitown presents a well-preserved ancient village. Walking in the village, you will feel an artistic atmosphere permeating every corner. Strolling through the deep and winding old streets, you can see the horse-head walls of green bricks and black tiles everywhere, which are very Huizhou-style. The ancient and simple old streets are indeed likable.
🪁Tour: Similar to the ancient town, there are many farmhouses outside the water town, and there are many snacks, barbecues, milk tea shops, etc. in the water town. It is recommended that you can go to see the water town during the day at about 5:30 in the evening when the sun is about to set, and then feel the neon lights of the water town as night falls, which is really different~ You can sit on a boat when the 'fairy air' rises on the water to feel the scenery of the entire water town. There are also some children's play projects inside
🎫Ticket: Locals are free with ID, and foreigners are 24 yuan/person
⌚️Tour time: 2-3 hours
There is a parking lot at the entrance, and parking is convenient
🏨Accommodation: There are homestays in the scenic area, or staying in Tongling City is also a good choice
I didn't expect this place to be even more beautiful than Wuzhen
🔥 A highly recommended attraction in Tongling is Yiliqiao Water Town!!!
❤️ Purely in terms of scenery, it's not much different from other ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, with similar ancient streets, white walls and black tiles, arched bridges and rivers, small snacks and stalls, and it's not very large. The highlight I want to recommend is the intangible cultural heritage iron flower performance and a 6-minute fireworks show every Saturday night!
❤️ And the ticket is only 30 yuan, which completely exceeded my expectations and was really worth it. At that time, my friend even felt it was a bit of a loss to take a taxi to Yiliqiao Water Town in the evening, having spent quite a bit on taxis to other attractions during the day, but after seeing the iron flower, we were totally captivated, and our mood was very high all night~
Iron Flower Performance
❤️ There are two shows every day, in front of the white wall at the entrance after the ticket check, at 18:50 and 21:30, each lasting 6 minutes. Children also love it very much. When watching the first show, there was a little girl standing behind us, and every time the master struck the iron flower, the little girl would shout 'Happy New Year'~
🔥 Fireworks Show
❤️ Every Saturday night at 20:30, near Wanfeng Tower, lasting 6 minutes.
🔥 Other Performances
❤️ In addition, Yiliqiao Water Town also has other performances, such as throwing embroidered balls, water performances, bonfire parties, light shows, acrobatics, etc.
❤️ Another great thing about Yiliqiao Water Town is the lighting effects throughout the scenic area, especially the dry ice along the river, which gives a special misty and rainy feeling of the water towns south of the Yangtze River.
❤️ If you want to see the iron flower and fireworks, Yiliqiao Water Town is definitely worth the rush, 30 yuan can give you double the happiness
Ah, why don't you promote this place, you're confused, the night view is too beautiful
Stepping into Liqiao Water Town, I think of a word 'Ink Jiangnan'.
The Huizhou-style buildings with white walls and black tiles, the rich style of the Jiangnan water town, although it was a rainy day when I came, it has a different charm.
.
This is a 'living museum', reproducing the charm of Huizhou and water.
.
The scenic area has 119 ancient residential buildings, 8 ancient streets, and pavilions, towers and pavilions scattered along the water. There are ancient stages, ancient county yamen, ancient embroidery buildings, pawnshops, watchtowers, Sanyuanmen, ancient ancestral halls, book gardens, Thousand Buddha Pagodas, Wenchang Pavilion, etc.
.
The New Year is coming, and the water town is also full of New Year's flavor‼️ Lantern Festival, folk customs, intangible cultural heritage, it's very lively.
.
When we went there, we happened to encounter a fireworks display. Bunches of brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky, and the purple and red fireworks instantly lit up the night sky.
After the fireworks, go to the Lantern Festival. Various lanterns bring a strong New Year flavor and cultural charm. The theme of this year's lantern exhibition is 'National Trend Sealing God·Happy New Year'.
.
There are also Chinese romantic iron flowers, interactive performances 'Throwing Embroidery Balls', 'Bonfire Party' and other special performances, which make the whole night exciting.
Liqiao Shui Town
Liqiao Shui Town is an ancient town with a long history, which was established in the fifth year of Yongming of the Southern Dynasty Song (AD 483), and has a history of more than 1700 years. There are still many ancient buildings preserved in the town. In the ancient town, the old houses along the street by the water's edge have flying eaves, pink walls and black tiles, and horse-head walls are arranged in a disorderly manner, forming a street full of Huizhou characteristics.

As the New Year approaches, Liqiao is also filled with the colors of the New Year. Lantern Festival + Folk Customs + Intangible Cultural Heritage, all-day performances are extraordinarily lively~
I've been to many ancient towns, but Liqiao is special~ It's a small town that is more colorful at night than during the day!
In addition to the buildings being more colorful at night, various performances also inject more vitality into the water town~
During the day it's like an ink painting, and when the lights are on at night, it becomes a dreamy water town.
As the Spring Festival approaches, the scenic area has a God-sealing Lantern Festival, so it is recommended to visit at night. If possible, it would be better to stay overnight. The lights are on until 22:00, and you can take plenty of photos.
At specific times, there will be large-scale fireworks shows, light shows, and iron flower performances. The recommended viewing spot for the fireworks show is the open space on the left after entering the scenic area; the recommended viewing spot for the iron flower is at the entrance of the homestay area.
Throwing Embroidered Balls:
Questions will be asked to the audience on the spot, and single men who answer correctly can change their clothes and go upstairs to worship heaven and earth with the daughter of the wealthy family.
Water Stage
The singer sings on the boat, and there are many spectators on both sides of the river. You can sit down outside the post office cafe a little earlier, order a pot of tea and listen to the song.
Bonfire Party
The current DJs are really high, and the whole audience is jumping and dancing together~
There is always water mist spraying out on the river bank, which really creates a full atmosphere.
