A Guide to Exploring Ancient Water Towns

Hidden within the heart of China’s rich history and culture, ancient water towns are living remnants of a time when canals were the lifelines of trade and daily life. With their charming stone bridges, wooden houses, and winding waterways, these towns transport visitors to a serene and picturesque world. If you’re looking to embark on a journey through these historical gems, here’s your ultimate guide.

Top Water Towns to Visit

Zhouzhuang – Dubbed as the “Venice of the East,” Zhouzhuang is one of China’s most famous water towns. Known for its well-preserved Ming and Qing dynasty architecture, the town offers boat rides that drift through narrow canals, passing under ancient bridges like the iconic Twin Bridges.

Wuzhen – This town is divided into East and West Scenic Areas, each offering a unique glimpse into traditional Chinese life. Wuzhen is famous for its night scenery, where glowing lanterns reflect off the calm waters, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.

Tongli – With over 40 stone bridges connecting the town’s waterways, Tongli is a must-visit for those who appreciate history and architecture. The Retreat and Reflection Garden, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a highlight of this tranquil town.

Xitang – Known for its covered walkways and bustling markets, Xitang provides a vibrant yet peaceful experience. The town was also featured in the Hollywood film Mission: Impossible III.

Nanxun – A lesser-known but equally stunning water town, Nanxun combines traditional Chinese architecture with European influences. It is less crowded, making it perfect for those who seek a more authentic experience.

Best Experiences in Water Towns

Take a Gondola Ride – One of the best ways to experience a water town is by drifting along its canals in a traditional wooden boat. These rides offer stunning views of historic buildings and charming alleyways.

Explore Traditional Architecture – Wander through narrow streets lined with ancient houses, temples, and tea houses. Many homes still maintain their original structures, showcasing intricate wooden carvings and stone courtyards.

Savor Local Cuisine – Each water town has its own culinary specialties. Try Wuzhen’s braised lamb, Zhouzhuang’s Wansan pork knuckle, or Tongli’s delicate freshwater fish dishes.

Capture the Beauty of Lantern-lit Nights – As the sun sets, the water towns take on an enchanting glow with lanterns illuminating the bridges and streets, making for a perfect photo opportunity.

Tips for Your Visit

Visit Early or Stay Overnight – To avoid crowds, explore these towns early in the morning or stay overnight to experience their nighttime charm.

Wear Comfortable Shoes – Many streets are paved with cobblestones, so good walking shoes are essential.

Respect Local Customs – Many of these towns still have local residents, so be mindful of noise levels and respect their traditions.

Ancient water towns offer a perfect escape from modern city life, immersing visitors in the tranquil charm of China’s historical waterways. Whether you’re gliding through narrow canals, enjoying local delicacies, or simply taking in the timeless beauty, these towns provide an unforgettable experience.

Start planning your journey to China’s ancient water towns, and let the magic of the past sweep you away!

难寻的南浔古镇

One of the more popular activities to do along the eastern coast of China is to visit its ancient water towns, most of which are dotted along the Grand Canal at the southern provinces of Zhejiang and Jiangsu. The Grand Canal was built from the Sui dynasty to facilitate trade between the northern capital at Beijing with its southern cities. While there are numerous water towns in close proximity from Shanghai (朱家角，无锡，乌镇), a friend recommended 南浔.

南浔 proudly claims to be one of, if not, the last ancient water town that is pre-commercialised. Visiting the water town on a Monday afternoon was also a welcome respite from the Sunday crowds at Hangzhou.
