Zhouzhuang - a photo on Flickriver

Zhouzhuang

            This is the ancient town of Zhouzhuang, a historic water village built during the Ming Dynasty. The town is also known as China's Venice (losely speaking). It was also where they filmed a scene from Mission Impossible 3. These buildings that you see were formerly people's homes. Over time, as the town has become increasingly more touristy, the homes have become tiny souvenir shops.

The river that you see the reflection on is fairly dirty. Most of these homes had steps leading right into the water where people would wash their clothes, etc. Perhaps it was cleaner back then, but certainly not now.

The whole town felt like it was like from a fantasy story or almost animation-like. it's quite surreal.
