A narrow village extending 1km along a central canal, Tángmó originally dates to the late Tang dynasty. A pathway follows the waterway from the entrance at the east gate (东门, dōng mén ) into the village, leading past the large Tán’gàn Garden (檀干园, Tán’gàn Yuán), modelled after Hángzhōu’s West Lake. Here you’ll enter the village proper, passing canalside Qing residences along Shui Jie (水街) before reaching the covered Gāoyáng Bridge (高阳桥, Gāoyáng Qiáo), built in 1733 and home to a small teahouse.
At the end of town is the Shàngyì Ancestor Hall (尚义堂, Shàngyì Táng), with 199 peony blossoms carved into the entrance beam. There’s a string of traditional workshops and stalls near the east gate.
The public bus will probably drop you off at the west gate (meaning you’ll see the sights listed above in reverse), but there should be onward transport of some kind to the east gate, or just backtrack.
