Nestled along the shores of South Taihu Lake in Zhejiang Province, Huzhou's Moon Square has emerged as a symbol of cultural preservation and contemporary innovation. Centered around its iconic moon-shaped hotel, the square seamlessly integrates Huzhou's 2,000-year-old craftsmanship—such as silk patterns and writing brush-inspired carvings—with cutting-edge architectural design.
By day, visitors are treated to panoramic views of Taihu Lake, where sailboats drift against a backdrop of misty mountains. As twilight descends, the square illuminates with lanterns reminiscent of traditional Taihu fishing lights, creating an ethereal atmosphere that bridges past and present. This harmony of elements has earned Moon Square a role as one of the sub-venues for the upcoming 2026 Spring Festival Gala, positioning it as a must-visit destination for travelers and culture enthusiasts alike.
Local artisans have collaborated with urban planners to ensure the site honors Huzhou's legacy as a hub for silk production and calligraphy tools while meeting modern sustainability standards. With the Spring Festival Gala spotlight approaching, authorities anticipate increased international interest in Jiangnan's cultural treasures.
