Zhouzhuang water town is the oldest water town in China! It is very beautiful no matter what season you visit at. Take the boat ride journey and the rower will also sing a song for you! #happynewyear #watertown #happynewyear

Got the privilege to travel to travel to this wonderful city in Taiwan. It has been a magical experience as I do felt like I was in a Japanese animated movie . Really a great experience #merrychristmas

Zhouzhuang is the oldest Watertown in China. It is located around 50km from Suzhou and reachable by train or bus. It is not as big so you can just walk around here and spend one day. You should also enjoy the boat ride! #merrychristmas #watertown #beautifuloldcity #merrychristmas
