Architecture is a yearbook of history.
As time goes by, it is still telling.

At that time, people were still fresh in my mind. Numerous legends and stories of Puyuan will sail from the canal in front of you, drifting to the distant place of thought with ancient doubts and curiosity. We will take you across every ancient bridge in Puyuan and go back to the past one by one.
