China's version of the "City of Water"?! Zhouzhuang Town.

Just a 30-minute taxi ride from Tongli Station 🚕

Known as China's number one water town, Zhouzhuang Town.

During the day, there is an entrance fee, but at night, it's free!

The town is bustling with many shops and a crowd of visitors (mostly locals) 🥰

At the entrance, you'll find CHAGEE and Luckin Coffee, and even a Starbucks designed to match the town's aesthetic ☕️! There are also fresh juice stands, where I bought peach juice 🍑. For some reason, apple was mixed in—it tasted good, but the texture was a bit off, which was slightly disappointing 😢

There are several restaurants both inside and around Zhouzhuang Town, so finding food shouldn't be a problem! (Just keep in mind that it's local cuisine.)

Souvenir shops are abundant, and I bought a Zhouzhuang magnet there. It was colorful and featured a moving boat design—super cute 🩷

Of course, you can also ride on an actual boat! It requires an additional fee. I just admired them from the outside, but the sight of boats gliding through the illuminated river was truly enchanting ☺️
