As one travels along the Taihu No 9 Road, a scenic route in Changxing county, Huzhou, Zhejiang province, the winter landscape transforms into a picturesque scroll of poetic beauty.

The vibrant forests, clear lake waters, and gently gliding boats create a serene scene, while the Baiyelong Bridge elegantly spans the lake, adding to the picturesque winter charm of Taihu Lake, the third-largest freshwater lake in China.

As an ecological cultural tourism corridor, the 99-kilometer scenic route, inspired by the number "9", connects 88 natural villages and 111 tourist attractions, weaving together the natural and cultural landscapes along the Taihu Lake shoreline.

The Taihu No 9 Road is more than just a scenic route; it's an economic artery through nature's wonders, promoting the integrated development of local culture and tourism.
