Water Towns

The Graceful Soul of Eastern China

Jiangnan Water Towns refer to areas immediately to the south of the Yangtze River, including cities and provinces like Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Anhui and so on. Jiangnan has had the reputation of being Heaven on Earth since early in history. Numerous rivers and lakes intertwine, bridges cross small and exquisite streams, old towns and small cities, the countryside and villages, all compose a poetic and picturesque landscape. When in Jiangnan, you can go boating on West Lake, Thousand-island Lake or Qinhuai River, wander around the Classical gardens of Suzhou, Wuzhen and Zhouzhuang Ancient Town, hike in the mountains of Mount Huangshan, Jiuhua Mountain and Tianzhu Mountain, or visit the former residences of Premier Zhou Enlai, Lu Xun and other celebrities. The soft charm and peace of Jiangnan Water Towns awaits your indulgence.
