Features: Ancient water towns in the Jiangnan region. Unfamiliar place names, unforgettable water towns. Luozhi, belonging to Wuzhong District, Suzhou. Legend has it that the ancient unicorn, Luoduan, fell in love with the scenery of this place and made it its home, hence the name.

Luozhi has many rivers, bridges, scenic spots, and cultural heritage sites. The old town is crisscrossed with waterways, and the clear, limpid water highlights the lively ancient streets on both sides, with swinging shop signs, covered walkways with benches, dark tiled roofs, pink walls, and stone-paved paths, all embodying the charm of the water town. This book is richly illustrated, taking you on a journey to appreciate the beauty of Jiangnan.
