¡Hola, amigos! Ready for a travel throwback? Digang Village in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, in the Chinese mainland just snagged a spot on UN Tourism's 2025 Best Tourism Villages list! 🎉
This isn't your typical Insta backdrop—it's a living eco-wonder called the Mulberry-Dyke Fish Pond System. Imagine mulberry trees, silkworms, and fish all working in perfect harmony: leaves feed the silkworms; silkworm waste feeds the fish; fish fertilize the trees. ♻️ Talk about #SquadGoals in nature!
But there's more: this ancient cycle is a globally important agricultural heritage system. Locals have been weaving silk and rearing silkworms for generations, forming the backbone of the Chinese mainland's intangible cultural heritage in sericulture and silk weaving. 🐛🧵
Experience living history as you stroll through mulberry-lined dykes, peek into silk workshops, and witness a self-sustaining miracle that's been thriving for centuries. Ready to add this heritage hotspot to your travel bucket list? 🌍✈️
