Travel in China

Chinese Watertowns

 

Jiangsu Province (where I live) and neighbour Zhejiang are water-rich regions, with lots of waterways, lakes and channels. Around Suzhou and Shanghai there are many little villages on the water (the so-called "watertowns") and some of them have been preserved and turned into turistic attractions. Despite the turists, they are a good way to pass a day and a brake from the otherwise modern and uninteresting Chinese towns.
