Zhou Zhuang, Water Village Half Day Private Tour from Shanghai
5.0
1 reviews
Zhou Zhuang really has that classic water-town feel. The Double Bridges and Zhang and Shen halls keep their Ming-Qing architecture, and the 900-year history is easy to sense. It felt a bit rushed as a half-day trip from Shanghai, but transfers were sorted, so I didn't worry about transport.
