A Quiet Location for the Serious Escapist

Escaping Shanghai’s ceaseless bustle can be challenging. The tea fields of Longjin, or the waterways of Suzhou can fill up just as quickly as your local dumpling spot at meal time. 🥟 If you really want some peace and quiet, try Nanxun. being sufficiently off the tourist trail, you’ll find these sleepy antiquated streets, stocked with delightful local bites and a slice of history, just the place you always wanted to be. Take the train from Shanghai Hongqiao to Jiaxing South station and then take a cab to Nanxun. The journey will take you about 2-3 hours in total, but when you’re there you’ll be rewarded with a little touch of Zen.
