Wuzhen, Zhejiang | A Water Town in Jiangnan

Located in Tongxiang, Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, Wuzhen is a historically and culturally significant town in China and a National 5A Scenic Area. It's known as the "Town of Water Dwellers" and "Home of Fish, Rice, and Silk." The water town of Jiangnan, as described by ancient writers, features gray tiles, black-brick walls, small bridges, flowing streams, and rowing boats. Stroll through winding alleys during the day and enjoy the evening breeze by the river at dusk - it's peaceful and delightful! Now I understand why poets were so fond of Jiangnan.
