The block itself has transformed into a bustling area, making it a popular destination for young people's rendezvous. The lane has also become a platform for cultural exchange and sightseeing, drawing visitors from all around and offering a unique blend of cultural experiences.
But still, it preserves the legacy of Wang Xizhi, the master of calligraphy, who used to write by the pool. The lane became a must-visit destination during the national holidays, attracting over 150,000 visitors during the period.
