A Beautiful, Busy Day Trip

#chinatravel Zhouzhuang is undeniably beautiful, with its charming waterways and classic architecture. It’s exactly what you imagine a water town to be, with its stone bridges and winding canals. However, be prepared for crowds, especially on weekends and holidays. The vibrant energy is part of the experience, and while it can be overwhelming at times, the charm of the place shines through. I found great joy in exploring the small shops, which sell everything from local crafts to delicious snacks. Sitting in a teahouse by the canal, sipping a warm cup of tea and watching the passing boats, is a wonderful way to escape the bustle for a moment. It's a perfect day trip for a taste of traditional Chinese culture, and the atmosphere is infectious if you embrace the lively spirit of the town. #travel #myitinerary

It’s a great and rustic place to relax and enjoy a retreat away from bustling places. Soft music in the background as you walk along the streets. There’s also an uncle who sits by his house playing the er-hu. Everywhere is within walking distance. Stay beside the river in many of their ‘ming-su’ or local guest houses. It’s so surreal. Don’t expect 5-star quality but it’s clean and comfortable with the necessary amenities.
