Once upon a few months ago at Uni's language lab,
our assignment was to practice using Chinese websites and
learn what "resources" there were to help us enrich ourselves.

So instead of looking up Chinese historical stories and practicing reading text,
I looked at the travel guide section and
looked for interesting potential places to visit for the upcoming trip.

Wuzhen caught my eye right away and
luckily, it just so happened to be a stop during the tour guide trip
(fast forward a few months).

The little ancient water village built in 872 AD
still stands today and inhabits townsfolk who do their laundry
in the river and fry fresh(and I mean fresh)rooster hearts outside their doorsteps.

here are some more pictures
