南浔古镇 Nanxun old town, You can take a taxi from Suzhou town to Nanxun old town with about 1 and half hour and RMB 150 - RMB 200 without the toll fee. The entrance of Nanxun old town is free but you can hire a tour guide (RMB 100-200) to bring you around with explaining But all the history houses need to pay the entrance fee (age more than 60 half price will show your passport). Nice place to go

See the main areas but if you get there and it's too crowed just get around and explore you will see almost no one because the tours don't go that far. It took me 3 hours and a half to see the whole are and I would have preferred to go by myself that to book a tour but it was cheaper. As soon as we arrived I left the group to explore by myself. It was the best I could have done. The areas close to the last bridge are quite isolated and one can see houses of real people along the channel, they dry their clothes and underwear as well as fish in the river and cooked what they've caught, it's charming. The most important or touristic parts are the old houses, the temple and the rice wine factory.

As one of the many Pretty Water Towns located in the Yangtze's Dalta Region, Nanxun holds its own Eastern Old World Charms. Dated as far back as 9th Century AD, it had been gradually developed into an important regional Distribution Center for Farm products, as well as Silk trades. Equipped with entwined waterways and arched bridges, NanXun's Old Town is a well preserved Cultural Center and a delightful Tourist Destination. I had visited NanXun on a Day Tour from Shanghai several years ago, which I enjoyed immensely. I am uploading a few photos as my recommendation.

If you've seen one water town then you've seen them all. This one is still packed with tourists and very commercial. Not worth the trek from Shanghai in my opinion.

A hidden gem. The best among all the old villages I have been to.

Beautiful place that brings everyone back in time. Peaceful and energising.

China is the great country.

Email complaints is useless, so I need to review on google map instead. I checked in InterContinental one thousand island lake resort on today 2023.06.02 with an infant in room 382. Since we check in for a family room, it already had a well-provided crib around the king bed. When we were watching TV, my baby, who was less than two years old, fell out of bed and had obvious bruises on her head due to the improper and unstable girth of the bed rail. I immediately reported to the guest service and someone came to check. But the reply is unacceptable for me, this is what he said “because the bed circumference only has one side, it is not securely anchored.”First, if you cannot guarantee the safety of the bed rail, as a customer, I would prefer you not to do it, rather than to give us with such a big safety risk. Second, if you know that only one side of the bed rail cannot be securely anchored. why are you providing this bed rail？ Apart from my baby falling off the bed, the guest room also has other safety concerns, such as toilet doors that don't close smoothly, the child can be easily pinch their hands.

Luxurious hotel with full amenities and beautiful view from room. There is easy access to the lake. The area is quiet and secluded from the city. The Continental breakfast is delicious and comprehensive. It is like a full-scale buffet. The staff is courteous and professional. Great place to relax and get away.

Beautiful hotel, poor breakfast. This phrase just sums up everything. The room is lovely, slightly on the expensive side, with upscale toiletries and decor. The breakfast however, was just adequate. Extremely poor attention to replenishment of empty dishes. Literally, i had to raise my voice to get some empty dishes replenished as the service just overlooked them, hoping that they wouldn't have to fill them up. A good stay was totally marred by the time we were ready to leave.

The setting of the InterContinental is stunning and very quiet. The resort by itself is very well built and the rooms and amenities are of great quality. The staff is very welcoming and helpful in many ways, beyond what you would usually expect. Which is quite a feat considering the standing of the place. English service is a bit limited for an InterCon, but they alway manage in a very charming way, so it's not an issue since it's not a business hotel, and you have time. Internet is surprisingly efficient as well. What really killed our stay is the food. While the breakfast is rather good, the restaurant is very noisy, and for a peaceful week-end retreat, it's not very enjoyable to start your day this way. Chinese restaurant is slow and of poor quality, especially if you consider the price. The western food is sadly no better. Our best find has been the french fries, which you will want as backup in case of your very likely disappointment with the rest of the food.

Nice lake view and place for stay.

My favourite hotel ever

(Translated by Google) Beautiful environment, very quiet resort hotel. It's a beautiful thing to go and be quiet when you're upset and stare at the lake in a daze. Hardware: The bed in the lake view room is very soft, the bathroom is relatively large, there is a bathtub, the wash basin is beautiful in shape, the bath brand is average, and the food in the Chinese restaurant is average. There isn't much food around, so you have to drive to town to get food. You can basically only take a taxi or drive from the town to the hotel, there are no buses passing by. But the scenery on the way to the hotel is also very good. (Original) 环境优美，很安静的度假酒店。适合烦心的时候去静静，看着湖面发呆，是一件美事。硬件：湖景房床很软，浴室比较大，有浴缸，洗手盆的造型很美，沐浴品牌一般，中餐厅饭菜比较一般。周围吃的不多，要开车去镇上才有吃的。从镇上到酒店基本只能打车或者开车，没公交车经过。不过去酒店的路风景也是很不错的。
