Xinshi Ancient Town

Huzhou is truly a low-key treasure city I actually found a 1,700-year-old water town—Xinshi Ancient Town Here, the waterways crisscross extensively with dozens of ancient bridges connecting both banks It has its own unique charm of a Jiangnan water town Although not as famous as Xitang or Wuzhen It can be considered a hidden gem among water towns Plus, it's free with no entrance fee, making it worth a visit 1️⃣Not as crowded as major attractions, with fewer tourists on weekends, no crowds, and a great ancient town atmosphere 2️⃣Hasn't been homogenized like modern commercial ancient towns, with less commercial influence Some shops sell special snacks and small items 3️⃣Many teahouses to choose from—pick any one to enjoy tea while appreciating the scenery, truly relaxing 4️⃣Great for photography, pictures turn out beautifully
