How unique is the water town rated as the No. 1 in China by National Geographic?

Zhouzhuang, known as the "No. 1 Water Town in Jiangnan", has too many places worth lingering and reminiscing about. In Zhouzhuang in autumn, strolling among the blue bricks and gray tiles, small bridges and flowing water, it seems as if time has stood still. - Main attractions: ✔Chen Hall: Chen Hall is the ancestral home of the Jiangnan tycoon Shen Wansan. It is the largest preserved Zoumalou in the Jiangnan water town. ✔Double Bridge: Built in the Ming Dynasty, the two bridges are connected and look like ancient keys, so they are also called Key Bridges. It is a must-visit photo spot for ancient town enthusiasts. ✔Zhouzhuang Museum: It was originally the residence of a Zhu family in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, and is known as a living "Jiangnan Water Town" ✔Painted Boat Cruise: Take a Zhouzhuang-style painted boat and overlook the beautiful scenery of the water town for several kilometers, which is very pleasant😄~ ✔Carton King Theme Creative Park: Recreate Zhouzhuang attractions in the form of paper, it is simply a "Zhouzhuang on Paper" ✔Nanhu Qiuyue Garden: One of the eight scenic spots in Zhouzhuang, the best location to check in the most beautiful scenic spots in Jiangnan - Transportation: If it is far from Suzhou City, you can take a direct bus, which takes about 1 hour. Location: Zhouzhuang Town, Kunshan City, Suzhou City 🕰Opening hours: 07:30-22:00

🏞️ Zhouzhuang 周庄 — China’s Most Famous Water Town Often dubbed the “Venice of the East,” Zhouzhuang (周庄) is everything you’d imagine a Jiangnan water town to be — serene canals, arched stone bridges, whitewashed houses, and wooden boats drifting under red lanterns. I visited Zhouzhuang on a quiet weekday, and the slower pace was such a refreshing break from the city. Walking along the narrow alleys, I passed century-old mansions, tiny family-run shops, and locals chatting by the riverside. My favorite part? Taking a boat ride through the canals while the boatwoman sang a traditional Wu dialect folk song 🎶 — it felt like stepping into a Chinese ink painting. 📍 Getting there: • From Suzhou: Take a direct tourist bus or Didi (~1 hour) • From Shanghai: Tourist buses depart from Shanghai Stadium or Hongqiao, ~1.5 hours 🎫 Tickets: • Entry ticket (~100 RMB) includes access to key sites like Shen House (沈厅) and Zhang House (张厅), which give a glimpse into the lives of wealthy merchants in Ming and Qing times. 📌 Tips: • Come early morning or late afternoon to enjoy the quieter side of Zhouzhuang • Boat rides are an extra fee, but totally worth it • Stay for sunset — the golden light on the water is unreal • Try Wansan pork shank (万三蹄膀) — a local specialty Whether you’re here for the canals, culture, or just to slow down, Zhouzhuang is pure old-world charm. #summervacay #Zhouzhuang #WaterTownChina #江南水乡 #古镇慢游 #苏州周边游 #中国旅行 #CanalVibes #古镇摄影 #WuzhongStyle #SlowTravelChina #VeniceOfTheEast
