The town's unfettered years and free colors seduce the inspiration of artists' creation. It has the same name as Provence in France. This coastal town is full of romantic colors and has attracted countless American artists to leave the prosperity of the city and come here to continue their dreams and start a new stage of artistic life.

If you are lucky, you can also see groups of whales floating freely on the sea, spraying water columns several meters high, which is very shocking!

Plimoth Patuxet Museums

Plymouth Plantation is a plantation established by the first Puritans in Plymouth. It is a biological history museum. In this immersive museum, listen carefully to the explanations of people dressed in unique ethnic costumes, and you will see the 17th century English Cultural Village, the remains of the Wampanoag people, the Plymouth Grist Mill, and the Mayflower II docked in Plymouth Harbor. The plantation exhibition is famous for recreating vivid historical history and has won the reputation of "providing shocking personal experiences for visitors of all ages from all over the world."

Plimoth Grist Mill
The Plymouth Grist Mill is a reconstruction of the original mill built by the Pilgrims in 1636 in Plymouth Colony. It shows visitors how Americans lived nearly 400 years ago. The colonists built a waterwheel to grind corn, replacing the previous hand-milling with water-powered mills, changing the way they processed food.

Mayflower II
The Mayflower is a British three-masted steamship, 19.50 meters long, 7.95 meters wide, 3.35 meters deep, and 180 tons in displacement. It was launched in 1615. On September 6, 1620, the ship set out from Southampton, England, carrying 102 crew members. On November 21, it arrived at Cape Cod (now Provincetown, Massachusetts), and landed in Plymouth on the first day after Thanksgiving. It is famous for carrying a group of separatist Puritans to North America to establish the Plymouth Colony and for formulating the Mayflower Compact on the ship. With the independence of the United States, the ship became famous. In 1995, the city of Plymouth, USA, decided to restore the Mayflower as an exhibition ship as a symbol of the development of the Plymouth immigrant society. After more detailed research, a replica as close to the original ship as possible was built, the Mayflower II, which was launched on September 22, 1956.

Plymouth Rock
Plymouth Rock, also known as the Immigrant Stone, has the words "1620" engraved on it. It is said to be the first "stone" that new immigrants waded across the shallows and set foot on the American continent. Today, there is a magnificent building on the port of Plymouth.
