Located in east China's Zhejiang Province, the waterside city Jiaxing is renowned for tourist destinations Nanhu Lake and Wuzhen. In the breezy month of April, the two tourist hotspots come alive with the gentle touch of spring. Nanhu Lake, with its shimmering waters and willow trees swaying along the lakeside, is a sight to behold. The historic water town Wuzhen also enchants with its emerald waters and whitewashed walls adorned with black tiled roofs. Visitors can immerse themselves in the scenery by donning traditional Hanfu attire and leisurely gliding along the river on rowing boats. The juxtaposition of ancient dwellings, stone bridges, and willow trees along the riverbanks resembles scenes from a classical ink painting, transporting visitors to a bygone era.
