Public transportation: If you don't drive, take bus No. 20 to Moonlight Square. The interval is long, 45 minutes, and the last bus is at 18:30. The highest point of this place is on the 5th floor of Taihu Building in South Taihu Villa. The elevator goes directly to the panoramic view. It is open from 10 am to 10 pm for free. Non-residents can also come. In addition to the iconic toilet seat, you can also see Taihu Town. Fireworks will be set off at 9:30 pm until the Lantern Festival, but only for five minutes. Photo suggestion: Fireworks can be shot with a slow shutter speed of 2-4 seconds. In addition, it is also good to shoot the sunset here. It is better to bring a telephoto lens with good anti-shake performance. The Tianya lens can also take into account the wide-angle and telephoto, but it is relatively cold these days. Big circle and small circle shooting location: South Taihu Villa, in the lobby on the third floor, open all day. Aerial photography: Taihu Building or Moonlight Square, there is no obstruction, and the signal is good. This place is relatively ordinary during the day, but it is quite beautiful at night, but there is nothing to play with, and the pricing of this place is very confusing. The Dicos three-piece set is small 50, which is more expensive than many high-speed rail stations. The funny thing is that another Dicos takeaway not far away is cheaper than here, and another ordinary beef vermicelli casserole costs 40. Is the price of Huzhou so high? However, the price of some 2-3 people and group purchase packages is relatively normal.

Huzhou Moon Square Scenic Area, Changxing "Lakeside Shanyin" and "Xiaochendu Village Scenic Area". Xiaochendu Village is an administrative village in Taihu Tuying Tourist Resort. It is bordered by Taihu Lake to the north, Hongqiao Town to the west, and Huzhou Taihu Tourist Resort to the east. Xiaochendu Village is a water village in Changxing. Historically, it was an ancient river commercial port with relics such as "ancient bridges, ancient trees, and ancient houses". There is an old saying: There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. In addition to Suzhou and Hangzhou, there are Xiaochendu to Xintang. The Tanhuang opera "Changxing Tanhuang" originated in the late Ming Dynasty, flourished in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and was popular in the plain east of Changxing City along the shores of Taihu Lake, such as Xiaochendu, and has a distinctive water village folk tune style. During the long-term performance, well-known artists such as Tang Huomao and Tao Ermao emerged. "Changxing Tanhuang" was selected into the second batch of Huzhou's intangible cultural heritage list. Its representative inheritor is Qiang Cui'e. He was named one of the first batch of "Outstanding Folk Art Talents" in Zhejiang Province, and his performances such as "Looking at Each Other from the Nunnery" and "The Effectiveness of Reform and Opening-up" were very popular.

Huzhou Moon Plaza is the best place to stroll. Walking on the wooden plank road in the South Taihu Lake, you can feel the warm and intimate wooden structure under your feet. With the lake facing the wind and watching the light show, you can't beat the thoughts and let the thoughts fly. It is good enough without words at the moment.
