Zhouzhuang Ancient Town: China's No. 1 water town

Located in Kunshan, Suzhou, east China's Jiangsu Province, Zhouzhuang is often called China's No. 1 Water Town. First built during the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), this historic town is surrounded by water, with canals weaving through every corner.

Here, streets follow the waterways, and markets grow along the riverbanks. With its well-preserved ancient architecture, classic Jiangnan water-town scenery and rich cultural heritage, Zhouzhuang offers a timeless glimpse into traditional southern China.
