Tip You can get off at Huzhou Nanxun Station.

Nanxun Ancient Town 南浔古镇

A hidden gem from China’s past, Nanxun Ancient Town is often called the “silk town of the Jiangnan Region.” This charming town, dating back to the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties, is the first of its kind in Jiangnan, regions south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, to be included in the World Cultural Heritage List.

Picture-perfect spots like Xiaolian Garden, Cangshu Lou and Baijian Lou create a dreamy, watercolor-like scene. It’s also a popular spot for traditional-style photo shoots, so don’t be surprised if you spot some visitors dressed in hanfu.

Digang Ancient Village 荻港古村

Digang Ancient Village offers a fascinating peek into rural China. This picturesque village is known for its ancient mulberry tree-based fish pond system, which is recognized as an important agricultural heritage. Here, you can enjoy a delicious bowl of fish soup rice while soaking in the tranquil village vibes.
