Dongguan Street Historical District (6:30 PM-8:30 PM): Wander through this living museum of Ming-Qing architecture, where stone-paved lanes reveal traditional tea houses and artisan workshops. Evening illumination transforms the street into a golden-hued time capsule.

Day 2: Classical Gardens & Nighttime Enchantment

After hotel breakfast (8 AM), embark on a curated cultural journey:

Morning Choices (9:30 AM-11:30 AM):
