Nanxun - a lesser-known ancient town

Out of boredom from being stuck in one city, I chose to explore Zhejiang. Huzhou came up as one possibility, so after looking more in depth into the Town, I found an ancient town there called Nanxun. When I read reviews of Nanxun, I realised there weren’t many as it was mostly overlooked by most people. Nanxun is about one hour from the Huzhou train station by taxi and cost just under 100RMB, I was glad I had taken a taxi as the driver took me straight to the entrance zone. There is a bus option from the train station which involves some changing and organisation. Once inside Nanxun, it’s 2 major lanes of old style buildings and authentic local cuisine. Most places are run by local families but there are the more modern cafes located in there too. Inside Nanxun there are a number of museums/residencies to visit and the stone features everywhere make for some great photographs. You can stay in the ancient town or travel back into the city area, I chose to return to the city after a few hours exploring. So far, Nanxun has been my favourite ancient town. #urbanexplorer #ancienttown #china #citybreak
