A WALK BACK IN TIME
Located at Dongshan Town, on the southwest coast of Taihu Lake, Luxiang Village is an ancient settlement that has survived for close to a thousand years. Built during the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279), this village is filled well-preserved buildings from the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644-1912) dynasties. As you meander through the well-worn stone paths, get a glimpse of the slow-paced simple lives of the friendly local folk; many of whom are descendents of the original settlers who built the village many generations before.
