Since ancient times, Jiangnan has been a place with beautiful scenery, outstanding people and rich products, and so is Jiangnan today. For tourists, the ancient water towns in the south of the Yangtze River have a unique style, which seems to have become synonymous with the south of the Yangtze River. The flowing bridges and whitewashed tiles are also their true portrayal.

There are many ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, among which "Six Ancient Towns in the South of the Yangtze River" is the most famous, and "nanxun town" is the most unique.

Nanxun is not difficult to find. It is located in Nanxun District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, on the south bank of Taihu Lake. nanxun town is not only a famous historical and cultural town in China, but also the first national 5A-level tourist attraction in Huzhou City, with a history of more than 711 years.

Nanxun is an important economic town in Huzhou in history. As early as the Song Dynasty, the silk here was very famous. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it became a famous silk town in the south of the Yangtze River. The prosperity of the economy and the prosperity of the people also promoted the precipitation of local culture, and the integration of traditional culture and Chinese and Western culture can be found here.

If you have also read "Jiangnan Town" written by the famous writer Xu Chi, you may have these three words to describe Nanxun, namely "Shuijingjing", and Mr. Xu Chi used 66 "Shuijingjing" to describe Nanxun, "Shuijingjing's water network, Shuijingjing's Qionglou, Shuijingjing's rain lane, Shuijingjing's wine shop, Shuijingjing's spinning wheel, Shuijingjing's girl ……".

This is also one of the manifestations of Nanxun's personality. Everything we see in front of us seems to be crystal clear. Of course, the profound cultural heritage still needs us to taste it slowly.

I have been to Nanxun for no less than five times, and each time I feel different, and the scenery, people and feelings I met are also different. For me, what impressed me in Nanxun is the water wedding, Xiaolianzhuang, Jili Lake Silk, red house and hundreds of buildings in the ancient town.

Of course, I can't forget the combination of Chinese and Western architecture in nanxun town and the night view of the ancient town for a long time. There are many buildings with combination of Chinese and Western architecture in the ancient town, the most famous of which is the red house (Liu's ladder), which passes through the traditional building with white walls and tiles, and a small red two-story house comes into view, which feels like an instant crossing.

If you look closely, you will find that except for the red walls, the roofs are all covered with gray tiles, which is also a true portrayal of the low-key people in Nanxun at that time.

have you seen the night view of nanxun town? For me, the night scene here is really beautiful, and it is most appropriate to describe it as "the night with crystal water".

Compared with the hustle and bustle in the daytime, nanxun town is much quieter in the night. Walking on the bluestone road, time seems to slow down, and the unique tranquility of Jiangnan water town is vividly displayed at this time.

For me, every place in Nanxun has a soft and quiet night scene. The inland river network in the ancient town is dense, the ancient houses are distributed along the river bank, and ancient stone bridges connect the streets and lanes criss-crossing.

With thousands of lights on, the feeling of nanxun town in the night is even more ancient, and its profound connotation is revealed. Standing on the shore, you can pat it with your hand, and the lights, houses and pedestrians are reflected on the water, just like a thick ink painting.

There are many ancient stone bridges in the ancient town, such as Tongjin Bridge, Hongji Bridge, Guanghui Bridge, Tongli Bridge, Xingfu Bridge, Xinmin Bridge, etc. Although the stone bridges are similar, they have a unique charm. Historically, these stone bridges have communicated with every household and witnessed the changes of Nanxun for hundreds of years. Today, they are still serving local residents and foreign tourists, just like an old man, who still sticks to it even though he is old.

Many people may know that nanxun town has a good reputation, that is, "the cover of the south of China". I think this reputation is not exaggerated at all. No matter the water town customs in the ancient town during the day or the bright lights in the night, it has become a beautiful painting, a colorful picture of the south of the Yangtze River, which is also nanxun town's personality.

When it comes to the commercial atmosphere, compared with other ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the commercial atmosphere of nanxun town is not strong, there is no large-scale commercial development, and the houses on the riverside are really inhabited by indigenous people, which brings the fireworks atmosphere. The fireworks atmosphere in Nanxun is very strong, which is believed to be one of the feelings of every tourist after visiting here.

Of course, if you go to nanxun town to enjoy the night view, you must go to "Hundred Buildings".

Hundreds of buildings were built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, with a history of more than 411 years. There are hundreds of buildings built, hence the name. Hundreds of buildings are built along the banks of the river, about 411 meters long, and their scenery is very beautiful, which is unique to many ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Especially at night, the houses are reflected on the water, quiet and beautiful, and the red lanterns under the eaves are like two long dragons, stretching into the distance.

There are arcades along the banks of the river, which is one of the characteristics of the Hundred Buildings. It can shelter from rain in rainy days and shade in summer, which is very convenient for residents living here. In ancient times, there was a river port here, which facilitated businessmen and boatmen to go ashore, and residents could also wash their clothes here.

The night is getting deeper and deeper. Except for a few residents who are still busy occasionally, most tourists have returned to their homestays to rest. At this time, the ancient town is quieter and gives people a particularly comfortable feeling.

Shuijingjing's night view of Nanxun is not only reflected in the beauty of the scenery, but also in its humanistic customs and cultural heritage.

If you have been to Nanxun, but haven't seen the night view here, don't miss the crystal-clear night view of Nanxun next time.
