South of the Yangtze River Delta are many ancient Water Towns. They are quiet and peaceful, and are commonly referred to as the"Oriental Venice".
The history of these water towns can be traced back to over 1000 years ago. Inter-crossed water courses, stone bridges, well-preserved residences of black tiles and white walls, flagstone streets, rowing boats are typical characters of these historical water towns.

The Water Town is exactly the type of place you look forward to seeing the real China, and experiencing a traditional Chinese lifestyle. Tong li, Wu zhen, Zhu jia jiao, and Zhou Zhuang are outstanding examples of Water Towns.
