Zhou Zhuang Probe into the ways of the old world when visiting Zhou Zhuang, one of the most famous water villages in China. The 900-year-old township provides a superb opportunity to experience rural China and the traditions and practises that have soon eroded from the fabric of modern Chinese life. Situated in Kunshan City, 30 km southeast of Suzhou, Zhou Zhuang (Zhou¹s Town) presents a well-preserved cultural background of ancient houses, elegant water views and colorful local customs. Along the way, flat delta lands that surround Shanghai with farms and factories give way to lakes and rivers. Stop along the shores of Lake Dianshan to get reacquainted with the romantic 18th century Chinese novel, The Dream of the Red Chamber in the dreamy setting of Grand View Garden. Zhou Zhuang itself is a town of canals and old mansions. This quaint and charming township is best explored via a ride on a gondola. Punt gently down this water village and take a picture of the Twin Bridges. Beside these historic sights, the local folklore, traditions and legends of this water township make for an unforgettable tour. ENHANCEMENTS A guided tour that includes relaxing with a cup of granny tea as well as a theme dinner featuring the Wansan home-style banquet can be arranged.
