Ancient Town of River Canals and Waterways

This small village of Wuzhen is located in the Zhejiang Province. After disembarking at the Shanghai Pudong International Airport, we took the Magnetic Levitation Train, then changed onto a coach to travel to Wuzhen. The journey is about an hour plus.

This quaint, charming old village is built on water, and its residents have been living this way for hundreds of years. The ancient buildings from the Qing Dynasty have been well preserved, and you can still see the carvings on the pillars and beams.
