It's not Dali! There is also a Shaxi Ancient Town in Suzhou

Shaxi Ancient Town is located in Taicang, Suzhou. It is a Jiangnan water town with a history of more than 1300 years and is known as the second Zhouzhuang. ‼️‼️‼️ The key point is, the scenic area is free of charge! The waterfront stilt houses built to adapt to the waterfront life and cargo transportation, every family has a water dock, and there is a water alley every three or five households, forming the unique street architecture style of Shaxi Ancient Town. In 2005, it was listed as the second batch of 'China's Historical and Cultural Towns' by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage. The overall commercial atmosphere of Shaxi Ancient Town is not very strong, so here you can see the very simple folk customs, the most real look of the world. Fried rice candy, which is lard rice candy, is sprinkled with white sugar and osmanthus on a thick layer of fried glutinous rice. It is sweet but not greasy. There are also begonia cakes, grass head cakes, square cakes and so on. Many cakes are the special food of Shaxi Ancient Town. 💡 Recommend Lu's cake group, Song's begonia cake, Chen's egg roll. If you have been to Zhouzhuang, Tongli and other ancient towns, I recommend you to go to Shaxi Ancient Town to experience a different ancient town style; if you have not been to any ancient town, I also recommend you to go to Shaxi Ancient Town first, because there may be what you think an ancient town should look like.
