Continue to Nantang Old Street, where traditional architecture, stone-paved lanes, charming canals, and local delicacies showcase the unique charm of a classic Jiangnan water town.

Opened more than 20 years before Shanghai's famous Bund, it has been a thriving commercial harbor since the Tang and Song Dynasties.
