Tongli Ancient Town

吴江同里古镇风景区

Tongli has guarded its Ming- and Qing-dynasty streetscape for a thousand years, earning its title as one of Jiangnan's six great water towns. Glide under 49 stone bridges, wander the UNESCO-listed Retreat and Reflection Garden, and linger over tea in a riverside teahouse as wooden boats drift past. Quiet, authentic, and impossibly picturesque.
