Beauty of Ancient Water Town of Zhouzhuang — Zhouzhuang, water town is one of the most famous townships in China, is located in Kunshan city which is only 30 kilometers (18 miles) southeast of Suzhou. Zhouzhuang is surrounded by water, boats were necessary for entering and departing from Zhouzhuang. It is noted for its profound cultural background, the well preserved ancient residential houses, the elegant watery views and the strong local colored traditions and customs. Before the Jishuigang Bridge was built in May 1989, land transportation was not available. Due to an undeveloped transportation network, the ancient culture and historical sites of Zhouzhuang were well preserved after more than 900 years. This beautiful small town has become the model of China's water towns.
