Zhouzhuang – The Venice of the East

#chinatravel

As China’s most famous water town, Zhouzhuang’s 14 stone bridges and 1,000+ Ming-Qing houses have floated on these waterways for 900 years. By day, it’s a living museum of arched alleys and silk workshops; by night, red lanterns transform it into a dreamscape straight from a Zhang Yimou film.
