I had a lovely afternoon in Zhujiajiao Water Town. It's a beautiful and peaceful village that truly feels like stepping back in time. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, and it was a joy to wander through the charming streets and over the ancient bridges. Lucy was a fantastic guide — her English is excellent, and she shared so much interesting information about the history and culture of the village. She also introduced me to some delicious local food, which was a real highlight. A big compliment as well to our driver, who was calm, patient, and made the journey very comfortable. All in all, a wonderful experience!
