Where is the scenery in Kunshan?

Zhouzhuang Town is a national AAAAA tourist attraction.

Zhouzhuang Town is located 38 kilometers southeast of Suzhou. Wu Guanzhong, a famous painter in ancient times, wrote that "Huangshan Mountain gathers the beauty of mountains and rivers in China, and Zhouzhuang gathers the beauty of water towns in China". Overseas newspapers call Zhouzhuang the first water town in China. Zhouzhuang has a history of nearly 900 years and rich cultural connotations. Zhang, a writer in the Western Jin Dynasty, Liu Yuxi and Lu Guimeng, poets in the Tang Dynasty, all lived in Zhouzhuang. Zhouzhuang is also the hometown of Shen Wansan, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. Zhouzhuang also left the footprints of Liu Yazi, Chen Qubing and others.

Huangshan is the beauty of mountains and rivers in China, and Zhouzhuang is the beauty of water towns in China. If you want to choose the most representative ancient water town in China, there is no doubt that she is Zhouzhuang, the first water town in China. No wonder Zhouzhuang was particularly popular at 200 1 and was designated as one of the venues outside Shanghai.

If you want to choose the most popular ancient water town in China, Zhouzhuang must be among the best. Zhouzhuang is a world of water, which naturally has its unique shape and flavor. That is by no means reflected by one or two ancient buildings or three or four old stone bridges. This is a living breath. You can find it by personal observation, or you can feel it inadvertently: stone revetment and bamboo fence built along the water lane; All kinds of cables and ship stones embedded in the shore; Straw shoes sold in shops; A woman who washes vegetables and washes rice by the river; An old woman sat around embroidering and chatting; The tailor's shop on the corner; Bathroom for sunbathing; Even the sound of running water after washing the house. After all, it is everywhere and often becomes a photographer's favorite shot. It is hard to imagine that in such a small town, the maximum number of visitors in a day during the peak season can reach more than 10 thousand. No wonder some people say (there is heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below, and Zhouzhuang in the middle).

Zhouzhuang used to be called the real question. In the first year of the Northern Song Dynasty (1086), Duke Lang of Zhou believed in Buddhism and donated 13 hectares of Zhuangtian to Quanfu Temple as temple property. The people felt their kindness and named it Zhouzhuang.

Zhouzhuang Town is located 38 kilometers southeast of Suzhou City and 33 kilometers southwest of Kunshan City. It is an ancient water town with a history of more than 900 years, surrounded by Hucheng Lake, Dianshan Lake and Nanhu Lake. Due to the barrier of rivers and lakes, wars and wars in previous dynasties have been avoided, and the original water town architecture and its unique pattern have been completely preserved. More than 60% of the residents in the town are buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. For example, the Shenting built by the descendants of Shen Wansan, who is very rich, and the Zhang Ting built by the descendants of Xu Da, a middle school king in the early Ming Dynasty, are all models of Ming and Qing dynasties.

Zhouzhuang is surrounded by water, including Zeguo River, Nanbeicheng River, Hougang River, Youche Yanghe River and Zhongshi River, forming a "well" shape. Residents build houses by the river and streets are built by mountains. There are 14 ancient bridges on the river, and the simple folk customs of the ancient town show a simple, quiet and elegant style, which is a typical "small bridge with flowing water" in the south of the Yangtze River. No wonder Zhouzhuang has always been the best shooting place for photographers, writers, artists and even TV movies.

The charm of Zhouzhuang lies in its cultural implication. Shenting, Zhangting, mysterious architecture, former residence, Taoist temple, Quanfu Temple and other places of interest have high historical, cultural and ornamental value. Where there are rivers and streets, there must be bridges. There are many ancient bridges in Zhouzhuang, which are very distinctive. The famous ones are Shuangqiao and Fuan Bridge.

Bridges and streets in the town are connected, houses are built by the river, boats are swaying and green shadows are dancing. Visitors who advocate returning to simplicity can't help chanting: Wu depends on Wu, and Wu Zhongzhou is good at going abroad.
