It is noted for its profound cultural background,the well preserved ancient residential houses,the elegant watery views and the strong local colored traditions and customs. In the Spring and Autumn Period , Zhouzhuang was a part of the fief Yaocheng and called Zhenfengli. After being donated to Full Forkune QuanfuTemple by Zhou Digong,a very devout Buddhist,in 1086 during the Northern Song Dynasty,Zhouzhuang got its present name as a memorial of the donor.
周莊,中國最著名的水鄉之一,位於蘇州城東南30公里18英里出的山境內。它以其深厚的文化底蘊、儲存完好的古宅建築,明媚秀麗的水上景色以及濃郁的地方特色風情而聞名於世。春秋戰國時期,周莊只是堯城封地的一部分,稱作貞豐裡。在北宋年問的1086年,一個非常虔誠的佛教徒周迪功舍田宅200餘畝捐於當地全福寺,為紀念捐贈人因有周莊之稱。
In an area of half a square kilometer124acres,60 percent of the Zhouzhuang's structares were built during the Ming and Qing Dynasties,which is from 1368 to 1911.
在周莊這片總計有0. 5平方公望 124英畝的土地土,百分之六十的建築都是建十明清時期。周莊鎮內小河湖溪縱橫交錯,窄直的河道上橫臥著14座石橋,盡顯水鄉小鎮特有的景色。

The first person thinking of showing visitors around the town in boats is old granny namedWang Xiaomei at the beginning of the 1990s. She is not a zhouzhuang native. She came fromShandong Province and used to be a fisherman. She was still rowing a boat at the age of 82 in1997but not now.She said she got the idea of starting tourism in Zhouzhuang out of herpoor lifethen. However,Zhouzhuang's tourism at present has been quickly developed into morethan 60 sight-seeing boats. Among them,old Wang Xiaomei's boat is very distinctive. It is theonly boat on water that uses double oars. Quite a few N stations rented her boat to make filmsand invited her to be the tour guide. Nowadays,water tourism is flourishing in all watertowns,therefore,Wang Xiaomei can be regarded as the initiator of the whole practice.
90年代初,在周莊第一個想起駕著小船帶客人在鎮內觀光的是一位名叫王小妹的老奶奶。老人祖籍山東,原來是打漁的。1997年已經82歲的她還在搖船,她說當時她想搞旅遊,是因為生活困難。現在周莊的旅遊船隻已經發展到了60多隻,但是王小妹的船一眼就可以看出,因為別的船都是搖櫓,唯獨她一條船用的是雙槳。很多電視臺拍片時都租用她的船,沿途山她負責講解。現在所有的水鎮都開展了水鎮旅遊,所以也可以說,她是水上旅遊的發起人。
The quiet and peaceful night view in water townships is special and unique.Owing to thecrisscross rivers and lakes all around, one can get into the town only by crossing those highlyarched bridges. Therefore,there is no motorized vehicles to be seen in the whole town. Someresidents have to push their motorcycles across the bridges to get home with great difficulty.That's why the water township is always extremely quiet at night.
寧靜的水鄉夜色別有一番情趣。由於水鎮的四周都是小河,只有通過高高的拱橋才能進到鎮當中,所以鎮子裡至今還小能走機動車.鎮中居民家中的摩托車也只能推過橋回到家中。所以每到傍晚,水鎮總是顯得格外的寂靜。
