Nanxun, like many other ancient towns in the Jiangnan region, embodies a classic waterside village. Unlike Zhouzhuang, where Chen Yifei painted the Double Square and Round Bridges, Luzhi boasts the Wansheng Rice Shop described by Ye Shengtao, and Wuzhen boasts the Lin Family Shop, described by Mao Dun, Nanxun in Huzhou, Zhejiang, quietly preserves its rich cultural heritage, awaiting visitors who truly understand it, without complaint.
Nanxun Ancient Town is a great place to visit year-round, but the best times are spring, when flowers bloom, or autumn, when the breezes cool. Nanxun's spring (March to May) is characterized by warm waters, blooming flowers, and bright sunshine. The newly green willow trees along the riverbanks are particularly charming, making it the perfect time for a water tour of the ancient town.
In autumn (September-November), the cool breeze blows. Walking on the narrow stone pavement of the ancient town, you can feel the infinite simplicity and warmth of Baijianlou, which makes you intoxicated.
Summer and winter (June to August) each have their own attractions. Summer is the best time to enjoy the lotus flowers in Xiaolianzhuang. The blooming lotus in the pond is nestled among the ancient buildings in the courtyard, creating an indescribable beauty.
In winter (December-February), the lively atmosphere of the ancient town during the Spring Festival and the rich cultural atmosphere exuded by the ancient buildings will make people linger.
During the season change in Nanxun (March, June, and September), the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so you can bring an extra coat. In the summer, the temperature is high, so shorts and shorts are enough. Nanxun is close to the water and there are many mosquitoes, so you can bring some mosquito repellent spray and short-sleeved shirts and shorts when traveling. June and July are the months with the most rainfall in Nanxun, so remember to bring rain gear; winter is wet and cold, so you must pay special attention to keeping warm and bring more thick clothes.
The cost of living in Nanxun Town is not high. If you stay in Nanxun Town for one night, that would be your biggest expense. You can explore all of Nanxun for about 180 yuan.
With a history of more than 750 years, it has many scenic spots and historical sites, and a profound cultural heritage, making it an ideal place for sightseeing.
