Over
Korte feiten: Stretching roughly 110 kilometers from Jiangsu into Shanghai, this waterway once served as the central artery for imperial grain shipments. Lantern-lit pleasure boats have glided along these waters since the Tang Dynasty, a tradition that continues tonight.
Hoogtepunten: Every evening around dusk, local musicians in traditional dress board wooden boats and perform pingtan, a storytelling folk art, while drifting past the 1,500-year-old Confucius Temple. The combination of sung poetry, pipa strings, and lapping water against stone walls creates an acoustic experience that has remained unchanged for centuries.
