15:30 – Gongtan Ancient Town Walking Exploration
After the cruise, wander through
Gongtan Ancient Town on foot. Known as the “No. 1 ancient town along the Wujiang River”, this 1,700-year-old historic river port clings to the steep riverside slope, with one of China’s best-preserved clusters of traditional stilted houses (diaojiaolou). Stroll along bluestone lanes lined with old wooden shopfronts, ancestral halls and courtyard residences. The town retains its quiet, authentic atmosphere, offering a vivid glimpse into traditional river town life.
