Among the ancient water towns in China, Zhouzhuang is a dazzling yet low-key one. As the earliest discovered water town, Zhouzhuang was already young and famous when China's tourism industry first started, and countless writers and scholars fell in love with it, so it can be said that she is the starting point of Chinese people's dream of water town. Nowadays, Zhouzhuang has well preserved Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings and local residents who have been living on the river for generations, which makes the ancient town always maintain its most authentic appearance in the changing times and makes people linger in the old dream.
Zhouzhuang is known as the first water town in Jiangnan, with small bridges and flowing water, deep houses and courtyards, heavy ridges and high eaves, river port and stone streets, bamboo and stone fences, and waterfront pavilions, making it seem quaint and quiet. It is as if the aura of all places in Jiangnan are brought together and presented in the ancient town. Smoke and rain in Jiangnan is a norm of Jiangnan landscape, Jiangnan looks more hazy beauty in the time of smoke and rain. Zhouzhuang, on the other hand, does not need any additional conditions and can form a picture wherever it is viewed. Zhouzhuang is a real small river with spacious water flow and the ability to row a boat. The weeping poplar curls, a boat props up the green shade, and through the bridge holes are the dark faces of the residents of the ancient town. Walking in the streets of Zhouzhuang, the arching stone bridge, as if connecting the pictures of the channel, from time to time will send people to the ink painting. The high-rise courtyard, hidden how much winding corridor like the vicissitudes of history and the charm of the former dynasty. Zhouzhuang is just like a chess game with interlocking steps, connected, and scenery at every step. The ancient charm is still, the vicissitudes of jasper, Jiangnan spiritual beauty, smoke and rain civilization. Zhouzhuang, there is always an inexhaustible flow of wind.
