In this case, tourist could walk around the ancient town and have enough time to enjoy the nice night view of the town and Tuojiang River.
Next morning, you could get up early, to view and take beautiful pictures of Tuojiang River. After that, if you time is enough, you could take a half day tour to visit a nearby Miao Village, although it is not that necessary. Then take the afternoon transportation for departure.
