I am not really very sure which part does 周庄 belongs to, should be somewhere in between Shanghai and Suzhou.
However, it is one place that bears great history of great people. Especially during Ming Dynasty.
If you are really interested about visiting this place, can visit this link

During Winter, the night ends around 5pm, and when we reached, it was already 3plus..i had very little time to shoot under the daylight. As such, i couldnt capture the pictures of the mansion indoor.
We checked in a hotel at 周庄.
Its a rural area so basically, the constructions of the building were all discounted.
All ready for the visit..
the empty streets at Zhou Zhuang Village
Like i said, you should notice alot of police man on streets..
Temp was around 5 degree when we reached. But dropped to -1 degree at night.
The start of the visit..
The streets along the houses has commercialize by the locals..
Pork Knuckles, their local famous delicacy...yummy
Earning some tips from rowing the boat thru the river. Very Romantic ride.
The interior of the houses are still preserved well. Its a heritage for tourist visits. There will be local guides to guide you along with the stories of the history that resides in these mansion.
The night was the coldest here, we even had difficulties walking back to the coach for a distance less than 400m..
