🏞️ 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
