Nanxun: Water Town & Lake Sunset Private Day Trip

An afternoon-into-evening private day trip from Shanghai to Nanxun, an elegant canal town of silk merchants. Wander its East-meets-West lanes, taste local snacks and enjoy a serene lake sunset.
Experience the gentle magic of Nanxun, one of Jiangnan's most refined water towns, on a relaxed afternoon-and-evening private day trip from Shanghai. Your English-speaking guide and private car collect you from your hotel around midday and drive you out to the canal country of Huzhou in northern Zhejiang.

Arriving in the early afternoon, you step into a world of little bridges, flowing water and whitewashed houses with grey-tiled roofs. Nanxun is special for blending the soft elegance of a classic Jiangnan town with a unique East-meets-West character, a legacy of the wealthy silk merchants who built grand homes here in the modern era. With your guide you explore highlights such as the Little Lotus Manor (Xiaolianzhuang), the Jiaye Library, the Zhang Shiming Former Residence and the riverside Hundred-Room Houses (Baijianlou), each full of atmosphere and history.

Along the old streets you will find lively local life and an array of regional snacks; your guide helps you sample the town's specialties as you wander the quiet lanes and soak up its understated charm.

As evening approaches, you make your way to the open water of Changtianyang for the highlight of the day: a tranquil lakeside sunset, with soft light and a cool breeze over the water. It is the perfect calm finale to an unhurried day.

This is a leisurely tour with only easy strolling and no hiking. After sunset, your private car returns you comfortably to your Shanghai hotel.
