The earliest impression of Zhouzhuang was the various ancient towns in Jiangsu and Zhejiang that lingered in my mind. The water town of Zhouzhuang is the same, with rivers, ripples, reflections, stone bridges, boats and pedestrians, elegant and beautiful, full of poetic and picturesque charm.

This time when I came to Zhouzhuang, I finally saw the quiet and rich Night Zhouzhuang. The sky gradually darkened, and Zhouzhuang was like a painting, slowly unfolding, like ink painting but not ink painting, and at the same time, it was a bright oil painting. The first night tour of Zhouzhuang was in the evening, and the scenery and atmosphere were filled with the joyful atmosphere brought by the festival lantern festival and a wonderful experience like a fairy tale.

On the wide Quanfu South Road at the entrance, various rotating colored lights were placed on both sides. The night was already dark, and the golden bamboo woven lanterns were spinning to create the eight scenic spots of Zhouzhuang. In front of the ancient archway of Zhenfeng Zeguo, girls in qipaos and Hanfu danced happily with security guards. The dazzling national wind flashed and instantly embarked on a journey through the Tang and Song dynasties.

The super huge oil paper umbrella, endowed with the radiance of the night, strolls under the colorful oil paper umbrella light corridor, and when looking up, it is the excitement of the little Zhou who came out of the street to watch the lantern festival in the lyrics of the Ming Palace.

The ancient alley is full of flowing light and colors, with fire trees and silver flowers on the riverbank. The autumn wind is clear, the autumn moon is bright, and the fallen leaves gather and scatter. Standing on the bridge, missing each other and seeing each other, I know when. At this moment, I feel embarrassed on this night. In ancient times, stone bridges were not only used to walk and connect the two sides, but were also endowed with a function of connecting and missing each other. Just like the Magpie Bridge meeting and Meng Po's Naihe Bridge. Everlasting longing for each other is reminiscent of long term lovesickness, and short term lovesickness is infinite. If I had known so much, how could I not have met before. Whenever you walk over these ancient bridges, the image of the ancients and their constant shuttle around you will always flash in your mind.

Not only are there various lights on the grass, but there are also quietly stopping colored lights in the water, and of course, there are also various palace lanterns hidden above trees. Watching the shimmering light and shadow of the small river in the ancient town, one's thoughts will fall into a kind of daydream. This may be the kind of time travel you're talking about.

There is a Taiwanese cultural and creative cardboard box king here, and all the things inside are made of paper. It looks very interesting, environmentally friendly, and utilizes resources. Parents who bring children can bring them here to linger and forget to leave.

At one end of the alley, there is an arched water curtain projection hidden in green plants. Various colorful flowers will slowly fall from top to bottom with the water mist. Coupled with the flower projection on the ground, I want to cross the ocean of flowers. Is there another kind of surprise in the feeling of rushing but unable to catch them.

Unlike the hustle and bustle of the night in Wuzhen, Xitang, there are no thrilling bars or noisy music here. Whenever night falls, you can sit on the boat to see the old houses on both sides, have a drink with friends in a restaurant, or sit in a tea house to gaze at the light and shadows by the railing, because of the small bridges and flowing water. Tourists from all over the country pass by.

The section from Fuhong Bridge to Zhenfeng Bridge is specially designed with "Flower Lane" and "Rain Lane" cultural and creative projections. Under the light and shadow, a hundred flowers bloomed and scattered on my shoulders, transforming into a flower fairy wandering through the sea of flowers. Different projection ideas bring different sensory experiences to people, giving them a feeling of rejuvenation in the ancient town.

Handsome men and beautiful women in the style of the Republic of China wander through the alleys, stopping at every corner to present a song from the past to tourists. The dance performed by the little girl in the student costume of the Republic of China is also quite impressive, bringing a relaxed and joyful sense of vitality to the quiet ancient town.

Every ancient town has its own unique delicacies, such as the Wansan pig trotters in Zhouzhuang. I also tasted them this time, and they are crispy, soft, glutinous, and not greasy. A table of people effortlessly eliminated this hoof. The erhu played by the master, who was born and raised, also has lingering sounds and is very suitable for the occasion. It's much safer than those half hearted aunties in the city playing saxophone. Coordinating nature is truly beautiful.

Walking along the riverbank, we arrived at a boardwalk where a larger and more beautiful lantern was suspended on the water surface, blending the sky and water. This is a must visit place for tourists and also the most concentrated place for lanterns.

Amidst the exclamation of tourists, they all raised their cameras to take photos. The colored lights are not only embedded in the alleys of the ancient town, above the big trees and under the eaves, but also extend all the way to the distance along this river. It looks very majestic.

Xiangcun Qizhuang Countryside Scenery Light Show

Not far from Zhouzhuang Ancient Town, there is a village called Xiangcun, where old houses with white walls and black tiles have been transformed into very distinctive homestays. The fields here have been transformed into the home ground of the light show.

In Qizhuang, Xiangcun, the fields are scattered with flower lanterns made up of fruits, vegetables, and cute pets, which are full of fun. If you look from the sky, this rice field with lighting hosting will be his name~Xiangcun

In the distance, under the azure sky, golden wheat waves surged, which was once the place you and I loved. When the breeze blows towards my face with the scent of harvest, remembering your gentle words that once wet my eyes

There is such a golden wheat wave here, whether it is day or night, it can make you feel the joy of harvest and the taste of your loved one holding hands. If you love him, bring him here to take photos.

The beautiful village of Zhouzhuang Xiangcun, hidden outside the ancient town in the fields
Wild, the original ecological village of the Jiangnan water town, is a microcosm of the socialist new countryside. You can hear the chirping of chickens and dogs in the early days, and enjoy the tranquility of the water town in the evening. It is not only handpicked, but also suitable for fishing and boating. The perfect integration of human and nature allows you to fully release, allowing your soul to relax and return, truly reflecting inner peace.

This is a magical place, watching those spinning windmills can take you back to the embrace of childhood.

The tranquil, simple, and colorful rural lanterns are not only the joy of a bountiful autumn harvest, but also the childhood memories of childlike fun, and a reflection of the ever-changing new rural life. The homestay here is defined as 70.80.90, which means living in the houses that the elders have experienced and looking at the trendy old objects, does it have a special feeling.

Pushing open the steel windows of the 80s style, gently lying on the rocking chair, smelling the fragrance of flowers outside the window, this is what life should be like.

With a click, press the button, and the old songs from the 1980s come out. Those familiar melodies seem to go back to the faint times of the past, when there was no pursuit or desire. My favorite singer doesn't have any scandals, and even beautiful songs don't need to be charged as VIP.

This warm lamp, a few wooden deer, a clean tabletop, and a small doll in the homestay. As if seeing his loneliness and longing.

The oversized rose field bathes you in a red and pink memory.

There are flower fields, boardwalks, high platforms, and various down-to-earth corn, sweet potatoes, soybeans, and fruits here.

Turn around, happiness comes to my house. The windmill turns around, don't be afraid of my flowers, listen to the wind speak, don't be afraid of the children. The moon is missing, the moon is full, and the wind blows smoothly. Don't worry about the red windmill... This nursery rhyme may explain why people like the swaying of windmills.
