Nanshe Ancient Village is so rich in culture! 99% of people don’t even recognize the village name!

On the eastern shore of Taihu Lake in Wujiang, Suzhou, lies a millennium-old village gently preserved by time—Nanshe Village. It was once a shelter for Taihu fishing boats and has now transformed into a pastoral secret haven sought after by city dwellers. Bluestone paths, weathered corridors, and winding waterways each tell the tranquil and poetic story of the Jiangnan water town.

Strolling along Nanshe Old Street, the Julong Bridge from the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty still spans the river, its stone arch reflecting in the clear waves; by the Yongning Bridge from the Qing Dynasty, you can almost hear the bustling merchants of the past. This place not only preserves well-maintained ancient bridges and riverbanks but also carries on the unique "Nanshe Three Delicacies" culinary culture, with the aromas of yellow sparrow and wild duck seemingly still drifting through the old street.

Nanshe Village is a traditional settlement that has been revitalized with rural tourism development:
• Baixiangli Homestay transforms old houses into Zen-inspired spaces
• "Qiaoshui Renjia" serves authentic Taihu boat cuisine
• The pastoral complex lets visitors enjoy picking and fishing
• Traditional temple fairs and contemporary art exhibitions coexist wonderfully here
