Wuzhen 2006年乌镇 : Wuzhen is one of the famous "water towns" in Zhejiang and Jiangsu in the eastern part of China, not too far from Suzhou, Hangzhou and Shanghai. They are all distinguished by old-style architecture, canals or rivers running through them, and throngs of Chinese tourists on any free day of the week. Wuzhen is the furthest from Shanghai, and therefore a bit less crowded that closer ones like Zhouzhuang. I happened to be there on a very nice day, neither too hot nor too cold, with decent sunshine.
