Silk & Serenity: The Timeless Charm of Nanxun

#chinatravel 🌊 A Water Town with Deep Roots Founded during the Southern Song Dynasty (1127–1279), Nanxun blossomed into a wealthy and vibrant town during the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1912) dynasties. Its prosperity was largely fueled by the silk trade—Nanxun was once one of China’s most important silk-producing centers. The economic boom led to the rise of powerful merchant families who invested heavily in art, education, and architecture. #nanxunancienttown
