The only ancient town in China that has not been commercialized, it is quieter and more leisurely than Wuzhen, and is known as the 'Cover of Jiangnan'

It is not known when it started, but in the charming Jiangnan water towns, there have always been some long-famed ancient towns that people yearn for. Unlike the heavily commercialized Wuzhen and Zhouzhuang of today, Nanxun Ancient Town in Huzhou still maintains the most pure charm of Jiangnan, and is hailed as 'the only ancient town in China without commercialization'. Compared with other ancient towns, Nanxun Ancient Town is exceptionally quiet and leisurely. The whole town does not have towering buildings, nor the hustle and bustle of traffic, but instead is permeated with a faint ancient atmosphere. The orderly grey tiles and white walls, the winding rivers, and the quaint and elegant stilt houses all highlight the long history and cultural heritage of this place. Tourists wandering through it feel as if they have entered a timeless paradise. In the early morning, smoke from cooking fires curls up, and the elderly chat leisurely by the small bridges and flowing water; at dusk, people stroll leisurely on the stone-paved roads, and occasionally a melodious string sound emanates from a thatched cottage. All of this gives a sense of ease and tranquility, allowing people to experience the long-lost slow life. Nanxun Ancient Town not only retains the unique architectural style of the Jiangnan water towns but also preserves the leisurely lifestyle of the locals. There are no skyscrapers or busy traffic, but everywhere you can see farmyards, ancient and fragrant stilt houses, and meandering rivers. It seems that as soon as you step into the ancient town, time slows down, allowing one to temporarily forget the city's hustle and bustle and immerse in this tranquility. Upon arriving at Nanxun Ancient Town, people are often attracted by the simple and natural charm of the place. The ancient stilt houses and the rippling rivers all tell the long history of this place. Everything here tells a story that is fascinating - a story of a Jiangnan water town that has not been eroded by modernization and still retains its original flavor.
