Nanxun, like a bright pearl at the southern bank of Tai Lake, is a historic and cultural town in China. Like other ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River Delta, “Watery Nanxun” brings you typical 1,000-year-old stone bridges, 100-year-old houses, and some brilliant names mentioned in the history books. However, Nanxun offers you more than its tradition. You can also appreciate the fashion of the old ages here. One century ago, when Shanghai was far from being prosperous, you could see authentic Chinese buildings blended with western flavors and enjoy noble lifestyle in this small town, Nanxun, which is a very special charm of this town. At the end of the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel.
