Why go

Waterways once carried trade through Nanxun, and the town's houses and streets still follow that pattern. Its wealth from silk helps explain the scale and design of places such as Little Lotus Villa and Jiaye Library. This is a useful stop for comparing canal-town planning with Chinese and Western details in the same setting.

What to look for

  • Follow a canal to see how streets and houses face the water.
  • Look for design contrasts at Little Lotus Villa.
  • Notice Jiaye Library as a surviving landmark of the town's prosperous period.

Useful to know

  • Use the old-town waterways to connect Little Lotus Villa and Jiaye Library.
  • Check access to individual buildings; town streets and enclosed sights may differ.
