Cultural hotel Pingjiang Lodge located in Pingjiang District Historical Block, filled with the special charms of cultural characteristics, tourists can enjoy the Jiangsu cultural ambience there. They can also take a boat ride in Pingjiang river to enjoy the pristine view of old houses along the river, creating the epic scene of “small bridges, flowing waters, residences”.

In ancient times, Tunxi was the main sea and overland transportation hub, making it a commercial center of the region. It was regarded as the living “Riverside Scene at the Qingming Festival”, a famous painting in China. The shops which flank the street still preserve the special operational layout – the front part of the shop for business while the back for living.
