I thought Wuzhen was beautiful, until I visited Nanxun.

Cobblestone paths wind their way through the town, and weathered walls whisper tales of centuries past. Drifting along the canals in a traditional wupeng boat, you'll see whitewashed houses with dark gray tiled roofs reflected in the water, as ripples spread out from the gently swaying oars.
