Smell the spring flowers of Wuzhen

Wuzhen, a waterside town with over a thousand years of history in the north of Tongxiang, east China’s Zhejiang province, boasts traditional buildings, stone streets and bridges over waterways. Ask a boatman to be your guide and sail through the cross-shaped river leading everywhere in the town. Or, just stop and ascend stone steps to sit on a chair and sip some coffee or tea.
