Whispers of the Past: Exploring Historic Nanxun

#chinatravel Jiayetang Library: Once one of the largest private libraries in China. Baijian Lou (Hundred Residential Houses): A scenic street lined with historic white-walled homes and stone bridges. Today, Nanxun offers visitors a peaceful retreat with its quiet canals, arched bridges, cobblestone streets, and a harmonious blend of East and West. It is less commercialized than some other ancient towns, allowing for a more authentic cultural experience. #nanxunancienttown

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
