With a history of 1,200-years, Wuzhen is about one hour's drive from Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province. The small town is famous for the ancient buildings and old town layout, where bridges of all sizes cross the streams winding through the town. The night view of Wuzhen is amazing.[Photo/Provided to Chinadaily.com.cn] |
Located in the centre of the six ancient towns south of Yangtze River, 17 kilometres (10.56 miles) north of the city of Tongxiang, the Water Town displays its two-thousand-year history in its ancient stone bridges floating on mild water, its stone pathways between the mottled walls and its delicate wood carvings. Also, setting it apart from other towns, it gives a unique experience through its profound cultural background.[Photo/Provided to Chinadaily.com.cn] |
