Introduction

Dongzha is a treasure among Jiangnan ancient towns, retaining its original water town style and cultural heritage accumulated over thousands of years. Its architecture, consisting of streets formed by rivers and connected by bridges, houses built along the river, and a water town style integrated with buildings, embodies the humanistic idea of harmony in classical Chinese residential architecture. Vibrant handicraft workshops and traditional shops each have their unique features, and the exhibits in specialty exhibition halls are also diverse. In addition to attractions such as shadow puppet theaters, Sanbai wine workshops, Xiu zhen temples, and Mao Dun's former residence, Dongzha also hosts performances such as martial arts and pole boat shows. Although smaller in scale compared to Xizha, Dongzha is compact yet powerful, making it suitable for busy tourists to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the ancient town.
