waterways crisscross those small towns. What give them a unique
character are those cobblestone alleys, plain houses with pitch black
tiles and white-washed wall, and arched stone bridges. Dropping by those
small river-side eateries for a meal of fresh water fish and homely
dishes would be a new experience. 0f these water towns, the most famous

Shanghai. The nearest one is Zhujiajiao, located in the western suburbs
of Shanghai. The others include Tongli in Jiangsu Province, Wuzhen and
Xitang in Zhejiang Province.
