If you’re craving peace away from crowds, Shuidong Ancient Town in Xuancheng, Anhui, is a hidden gem that delivers pure tranquility. Just a 3.5-hour drive from Shanghai, this lesser-known water town is perfect for a slow weekend escape. No bustling tourist traps — just quiet alleys, old stone bridges, and golden-hour sunsets that melt your stress away.
Best of all? No entrance fee, barely any tourists, and a full dose of countryside charm. Come for the calm, stay for the light breeze over the river — this place is seriously underrated.
