Nanxun: The Hidden Gem of Jiangnan Water Towns

Among the many picturesque water towns of Jiangnan, Nanxun stands out as a rare and hidden treasure, difficult to find but unforgettable once discovered. Unlike its more commercialized counterparts, Nanxun preserves a tranquil beauty that blends ancient elegance with authentic charm. Here, you can stroll along quiet, canal-lined streets, where centuries-old stone bridges arch gracefully over the water, and traditional white-walled, black-tiled houses reflect in the canals. The town’s peaceful ambiance, coupled with its rich history and unique architecture, makes it a place that captures the soul of Jiangnan, offering a genuine glimpse into the region’s cultural heritage. #travelchina #travel #jiangnan #watertown #nanxunancienttown#100waysoftravel #nanxun

Hey Luis Where Are You
Nanxun Ancient Town

Exploring Huzhou’s Nanxun Ancient Town was a pure nightscape dream 🌙✨ This riverside gem packs old-world charm with red lanterns swaying above quaint streets, and willow trees draping into peaceful canals. My favorite part? Nightfall, when soft lights glow on the timbered buildings and the whole place feels straight out of a storybook. Must-See Places in Nanxun Ancient Town No. 51, Renrui Road, Nanxun Town, Huzhou City (open all day, year-round!) 1. Canal-side Walks: Stroll under the lanterns along the rivers and catch reflections of willow branches and historic architecture for epic photos. 2. Old Street Row: Wander through preserved alleys lined with tea houses and small eateries—perfect for a late-night snack or a quiet cup of local flower tea. 3. Garden Courtyards: Peek into manor homes and courtyards, where modern and Ming/Qing dynasty aesthetics blend seamlessly. Travel Tips & Local Insights - Night Visit Pro Moves: The magic really starts after sunset, so time your walk for evening when locals come out to chill and everything looks Instagram-gorgeous. Lantern shots are a must! - Get Around: The ancient town is super walkable—don’t bother with taxis inside, just grab a bike or stroll by foot. - Food Recommendations: Hunt for lotus root snacks and try the slow-cooked Nanxun pork. Street stalls along the main canal row often have warm, authentic options. - Destination Hacks: No visa hassles for domestic visitors, and cashless pay (AliPay, WeChat Pay) works everywhere. Dress in layers—Huzhou nights can be humid and breezy. #NanxunAncientTown #HuzhouNights #ChinaTravel #WaterTown #tripcom
