Everyone has a dream of a Jiangnan (Southeastern China) water town. Known as the ‘Venice of the East,’ China’s first water town, Zhouzhuang, is situated in Kunshan, Suzhou. It shines as a dazzling pearl in the paradise of Suzhou, bearing witness to a thousand years of history and the rich cultural heritage of the Wu region.
Zhouzhuang has become a treasure of Eastern culture, celebrated for its picturesque water town landscape, unique cultural landmarks, and simple folk customs. The entire town is built along the river, streets connected by bridges, adorned with bamboo, stone railings, and a serene, ancient charm. With 14 distinctive ancient bridges, Zhouzhuang paints a wonderful picture of ‘small bridges, flowing water, and quaint houses’ in the Jiangnan water town scenery.
