A bridge, a flowing water, long and short are countless stories;

A white wall, a black tile, high and low are endless songs.

Whether day or night, Zhouzhuang always gives people a very gentle feeling. The green green under the mottled sunshine and the beautiful figures in the dancing lights are dream-like, cool and quiet, with white walls and black tiles, and gurgling water, quietly telling the story. That warm and warm ancient town time also adds a few more lasting charm to a watershed town.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching and the years are quiet. Come with me to Zhouzhuang for a walk ~

[Small bridge and flowing water dream Zhouzhuang]

The ancient town in Jiangnan in early autumn always reveals the aesthetic conception of ancient poetry...

The buildings, bluestone slabs, wet moss, and wupeng boats in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty seem to tell the story of this place.

The criss-crossing rivers subdivides the town into many blocks. Hundreds of Ming and Qing Dynasties buildings, homesteads, gardens, temples, and former residences of celebrities are distributed among them. Dozens of ancient bridges generally connect the ancient towns in series, forming "many water alleys and small bridges." People use the river, Liuqiao connects the city, and river ports enter the lake fields." The style of Jiangnan water town.

When it comes to water towns, everyone will always think of Jiangnan ~

It seems that everyone's heart contains the softest Jiangnan, with small bridges and flowing water, and unique poetry!

The biggest color in the Jiangnan water town is water, and what adds color to this rippling blue wave is the bridge. Between the two waters, the bridge is also the only way to go.

There are two bridges, one round, one horizontal and the other vertical. The bridge types and reflections of the two bridges are like ancient keys. Touching the vicissitudes of the bridge corridor, you can vaguely hear Zhouzhuang's past murmuring.

Walking on the stone road on the bridge, you can feel the tranquility and tranquility and long-lasting ancient charm that belong to Zhouzhuang's bones ~

Looking carefully, you will see that the old houses near the river are neatly arranged. The one-color pink walls and black tiles are hidden among the green trees. Together with the double bridges, they are clearly reflected in the water, forming a subtle landscape painting of the water town.

If you are interested in ancient buildings, Shen Hall and Zhang Hall are also worth a visit!

The Zhangting Hall, facing east and west, is one of the few remaining Ming Dynasty buildings in Zhouzhuang. It is lined in seven directions, and the Ruojing River next to the hall passes through the house. Although it has experienced more than 500 years of vicissitudes, its style remains unchanged. It is still not difficult to see the style of the past.

Zhang Hall also has a very nice name-Yuyan Hall. I heard from locals that there were two magnolia trees in front of the door. When spring came, the magnolia flowers bloomed, attracting many swallows. The swallows built nests under the eaves and bred descendants. The owner of Zhang Hall saw it and thought that swallows and magnolia trees brought vitality to Zhang Hall, so he changed it to Yuyan Hall.

Zhangting is not only a representative of Jiangnan folk houses, but also a rather tasteful mansion garden. The garden is in the backyard of Zhangting and surrounded by pink walls and black tiles. It is quiet and elegant. Although the place is small, it is equipped with pavilions and pavilions.

On the east side of the hall, there is a dark and deep lane. In the old days, unless weddings and funerals were celebrated or guests visited, the main entrance was not easily opened. On weekdays, family members have to go in and out through escort.

After many renovations, the current Zhangting Hall has been completely renovated. The legacy of the ancient garden and the style of the new era complement each other, and it also has a unique flavor.

Shen Hall was built by Shen Wansan's descendants.

Everyone knows that Jiangnan towns have always hidden dragons and tigers. In Zhouzhuang, a wealth of wealth, Shen Wansan, has emerged among the small bridges and flowing water!

The old house is very large and antique, and the entire hall has a typical "front hall and back hall" architectural pattern.

Songmaotang is the center of the whole house and is particularly spacious and elegant.

Folk legend says that Shen Wansan had a cornucopia. If you put a gold ingot in, you could take out a pot of gold ingots. It was inexhaustible and inexhaustible, so he was the richest in the world. Don't forget to take a look at Shen Wansan's cornucopia when visiting Shen Hall!

If you want to have an in-depth understanding of Zhouzhuang culture, the Zhouzhuang Museum is also a must-visit place!

The items on display in the museum such as black leather pottery and other cultural relics, folk daily necessities, farm tools, food, etc., coupled with vivid wax models, completely vividly reproduces the life scenes of the people of Zhouzhuang in ancient times! In a trance, it seems to go back to the ancient Zhouzhuang, so comfortable!

When you come to Zhouzhuang, you must also take a Wupeng boat. The oars of the boat crossed the river and caused ripples, crossing between the ancient bridge and time and space. A cup of new tea, a bowl of aging, and casually tapping chess pieces, slowly integrated into a Jiangnan water town, slowly transforming into the sound of oars swaying between small bridges and flowing water, and the moving sun shadow on white walls and black tiles.

There are many interesting shops hidden in the streets and alleys, and you will always find some unexpected surprises when you stroll around ~

Choosing to stay in Zhouzhuang Ancient Town for one night can be said to be down-to-earth yet charming.

We stayed at the Latte Wanshi Art Inn at the entrance of the ancient town. There were no noisy shouts in the streets and alleys, and there was no hustle and bustle in the bustling city. We went out with a picture of white walls, black tiles, small bridges and flowing water. It was particularly elegant!

The room layout is very artistic, and the cold materials combine the characteristics of the local water town, creating a childlike fun and fun, but also creating a unique vitality and beauty ~

There are also all kinds of cute and interesting little landscapes and small trains in the yard downstairs, which is perfect for checking in and taking photos!

[A stunning night in Zhouzhuang]

If Zhouzhuang, which is plain and clean in the day, is already dusty, then Zhouzhuang, which is decorated with a little powder and makeup, is a different scene when the lanterns are on ~

It's the good Mid-Autumn Festival season, and Zhouzhuang is opening a dreamy feast of light and shadow!

The water town at night is brightly lit, and the light and shadow show in Nanhu Bay not far away is even more beautiful ~

Colorful colorful lights from the water town to the ancient town, along the old streets and alleys, connect lakes and bays, water alleys, small bridges, old streets, ancient houses, etc. into beads. In the shadows of the water, a vivid life scene of the people in the water town is displayed in front of you!

With the sparkling river, the textured stone road, and the lively crowd, the ancient Hui-style buildings look profound against the light. The flashing lights, corridors and eaves are reflected in the water town. Time is shallow and warm. Quiet.

The stone bridge straddles the river, like rainbows, connecting the families on the other side of the river, dancing with the river and water, with uneven ridges, and under the dark blue sky, their tortuous black silhouettes are outlined.

Zhouzhuang at night looks more charming against the backdrop of the lights. Under the gorgeous lights, Jiangnan tunes sound in the night. Lanterns on both sides of the river are lined up one after another, integrating with the pink walls and black tiles, water alleys and small bridges, old streets and ancient houses, and also melting into the simple life of the water town.

In the ancient town hidden in the night, the stone bridges, buildings, and tree shadows reflected in the water were all shattered by this wooden oar and turned into colorful spots of light and ripples, which rippled into the heart if you were not careful.

Stroll on the stone road and enjoy the night view of the water town and the lanterns in the sky. Of course, don't miss the cruise ship with the national style and beautiful women!

It is said that the Tang style is a relic, the Song River is Yiyi, the misty rain Jiangnan, and the jade Zhouzhuang.

Jiangnan women wearing gauze either dance or play the pipa lightly. In their ears, they are filled with music of silk and bamboo orchestras, and in their eyes, they are filled with colorful lights. The night in Zhouzhuang is always so romantic and poetic without losing the charm of Jiangnan ~

To say that the place with the strongest atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival is hidden in the dazzling array of ancient town markets. In front of those shops selling colorful local food and special gifts, in addition to the local folk art experience and flavor, there are also various kinds of literary and artistic trends. The addition of new trends will always attract all kinds of tourists coming and going to take a stroll here ~

Or taste the ten-mile fragrant snacks, or shuttle through the bustling crowd of people, and occasionally meet an interesting gadget that you like, stop and appreciate it for a while. The beauty here must be experienced by it to feel its exquisiteness.

There is ancient poetry and painting in the ancient town, and outside the ancient town is a bustling and lively life.

Many lanterns of different shapes are arranged at the entrance of the scenic area, attracting tourists to stroll around the neighborhood and take selfies, expressing their thousands of emotions with the changing street corner scenery.

This Cross-Strait (Kunshan) Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival integrates the culture of Jiangnan water town with Taiwanese customs and characteristics. The lights reflect the feelings of both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
