Tongli Ancient Town (同里古镇) – The Essence of Jiangnan Elegance

#hellohalloween
Tongli Ancient Town (同里古镇) perfectly captures the elegant essence of a Jiangnan water town. The atmosphere here is distinctly quiet and tranquil compared to some of its busier neighbors, making it ideal for peaceful exploration. The town is structured by a network of 15 small rivers and 49 ancient stone bridges, which connect its seven small islands.
The view is consistently picturesque, featuring well-preserved Ming and Qing dynasty architecture with white walls and dark tiles built right along the water's edge. Taking a ride in a traditional awning boat (摇橹船) is a must, offering a serene, intimate view of the houses and carved windows from the water level.
