Zhouzhuang

I think I don't have enough words to describe how charming Zhouzhuang is

If you think that heaven is geography or place, then Zhouzhuang is one of those heavens, but I think that heaven is not geography but psychology; the condition of everyone's heart.

The city was built since 1086 and is the oldest water city in China. We visited this city a month before Wuhan was hit by the Covid-19 outbreak. We traveled for 7 hours from Wuhan to Shanghai-Zhouzhuang at that time by train and bus. Really Zhouzhuang is very beautiful and enchanting. We toured this city by boat, the river water is green, the people are friendly. The boat we boarded was deliberately driven slowly so that we could enjoy the atmosphere as beautiful and comfortable as possible. At first glance this place reminds me of a water town in Italy (I've never been there). We enjoy the cool quality air, the locals are doing their activities as usual, sometimes some small children wave their hands at us.

We saw bridges, canals and floating houses, very exotic, beautifully arranged and neat. The captain of the ship who commanded us said that this city used to be a stop on the Silk Road during the Yuan dynasty. At that time, small ships carried silk, ceramics and various other artistic materials. The city maintains its classical cultural background, the ancient houses are still well preserved.

I uploaded some photos of when we were in Zhouzhuang below, just enjoy them.
