The Canal Towns in Jiangnan Area mainly refer to the old towns which lie at the lower reaches of the Yangze River in the south of Jiangsu Province and north of Zhejiang Province, and endowned with fertile land, mild climate and rich produce, this area was inhabited by primitive people many thousand years ago. Natural villages and towns have formed along small rivers, comparising exquisitely unique architectural layout. The towns feature white walls and dark tiles,small bridges and streams, old streets and long lanes. Local color constitutes a unique regional cultural landscape. These towns vary in style due to different geographic and cultural environments. Since 1980s, most of the ancient towns have been modernized with the takeoff of China's rural economy, losing the original framework. Fortunately, Nanxun,Wuzhen and Xitang in Zhejiang province and Zhouzhuang, Tongli and Luzhi in Jiangsu Province have been timely preserved, In recent years, these old towns have been renovated under the guidance of experts. With original historic features, they are becoming the common heritage of our human race.
Nanxun is situated to the south of Taihu Lake in Zhejiang province, bordering on Jiangsu Provice. It has been well known since a thousand years ago for it's farming and especially unique silk farming, and become a major producer and trading prot of silk in morden times. It hosted the largest community of silk traders in Chinese history, exerting tremendous influence on China's socioeconomic development.
A river running cross this town, ancient arch bridges, well-aligned banks, green willows, narrow streets and riverside homes...The most interesting is the Hundred-Room Residence in the east, which was the home of Mr.Dong's family in the Ming Dynasty, with high walls and repeated archways, eaves and steps, built along the meandering river. What a fine picture of water home with roofs, walls and wooden doors mirrored in the river.
Nanxun is not only beautiful, but also elegant, since it emphasized education all these years in it's history, and the town saw many famous scholars and high officals. There were also distinguished libraries, notably Jiaye Library with it's huge collection. Even today,we can still see many rare books and woodcut steretypes. Nanxun also boasts many gardens, including Little Lotus Villa, Ying Garden kept in there original layout, and famous mansions exguisitely integrating Chinese and westen architecture.
