A small and hidden gem of an ancient town - Dangkou Ancient Town

Wuxi Dangkou, a Chinese historical and cultural town known as 'Little Suzhou, Silver Dangkou', has always been a controversial ancient town in the Suzhou and Wuxi area. Now it's free, and you will definitely say it's worth the trip after visiting this ancient town. The houses built along the river have been mottled by time, and the white walls and black tiles are full of the taste of old times. The reflections of the ancient houses in the shimmering water are gently swaying. The poetic Dangkou Ancient Town is surrounded by flowers, the oleanders by the river are in full bloom, and the trumpet creepers climbing on the houses are not to be outdone, swaying in the summer breeze. The old man is slowly rowing the awning boat with tourists, and the creaking sound of the oars is drifting far away in the air. The old ladies gather in twos and threes to chat about their daily lives, discussing family matters, joys and sorrows. The shopkeepers do not solicit customers, but lie leisurely in rocking chairs, fanning themselves and taking a nap. The children on a study tour walk in a long line across the ancient bridges, their obedient and tender appearance is endearing. In a corner of the ancient town, a photographer is taking wedding photos for a couple. Sparse tourists are strolling leisurely on the bluestone road in the ancient town... Such a tranquil and elegant Dangkou Ancient Town is exactly the Jiangnan water town in my dream! There is no heavy commercial atmosphere, no bustling tourists, everything is simple and pure. There are performances at different times in the scenic area, and I watched a period costume dance, which was quite shocking and beautiful. I have to say, the service in Dangkou Ancient Town scenic area is really humanized now. There are many tables and chairs in the ancient town where you can rest at any time, there are special places for people who like to take photos to change clothes, and there are blue sky rescue rubber boats patrolling on the river. These warm and detailed services are very humanized, and it's very reassuring and comfortable to visit such an ancient town. 📍Location: No. 55, Hengfang Road, Ehu Town, Xishan District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province.
