Morning Serenity: Qinghui Garden
Built during the Qing dynasty, Qinghui Garden is celebrated for its labyrinthine water courts and stained Manchurian glass windows.
The Zenith: Congee Broth Hotpot
Expert local chefs debone freshwater fish with surgical precision. Cooked for seconds in pure white rice porridge broth, each morsel achieves sublime tenderness.
