"There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties, and how many buildings are in the smoke and rain."
Luzhi, an ancient water town in the south of the Yangtze River with a history of more than 2,500 years, is the same age as the ancient city of Suzhou. Different from the hustle and bustle of Zhouzhuang, the commercial atmosphere of Wuzhen, and the hustle and bustle of bars in Xitang, Luzhi is only the tranquility of "small bridges and flowing water", and it is the leisurely self-satisfaction of "slanting wind and drizzle do not need to return".

When I first saw it, I was attracted by its quietness. The bluestone pavement, the small bridges and flowing water, and the antique buildings, like a picture scroll of the past, pull me back to that ancient time.
Walking through the alleys of the ancient town, time seems to slow down. There are no noisy voices in the ears, only the sound of birdsong and flowing water, and occasionally a few Wu Nong's soft words, which add a bit of the charm of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
Life in the market, fireworks in the world
Different from other heavily commercialized ancient towns, Luzhi Ancient Town still retains the original flavor of life. The old people sit in front of the house and chat, the children run and play in the alleys, and the women wash their clothes by the river.

The original ecological water town, dreaming back to the millennium
In addition to the commercial core scenic spots, Luzhi Ancient Town also retains many undeveloped ancient neighborhoods. The old streets are deep, the water alleys are blurred, and the ancient walls are mottled, as if traveling back to the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River hundreds of years ago.
Folk culture, wonderful
Luzhi Ancient Town holds a variety of traditional cultural activities every year, such as dragon boat racing, weddings, sacrifices, etc., so that tourists can experience the charm of the ancient town while also experiencing strong folk customs.
Specialty food, endless aftertaste
When you come to Luzhi, of course, you have to taste the local specialties. The braised pig's trotters are the main Fuli hooves, which are bright in color and mellow in taste; Begonia cake, a traditional snack shaped like a begonia flower, is fragrant and soft and glutinous, sweet but not greasy; There is also a rich soup base and a topping of the Okutoba, which is a delicacy not to be missed.
Luzhi Ancient Town, a place away from the hustle and bustle, full of poetry. If you're tired of the fast-paced life of the city and are looking for a quiet place to relax, then Luzhi Ancient Town is definitely a place worth visiting.
