Zhouzhuang (周庄) is located in Jiangsu Province, about 50km from Shanghai, and is China's oldest water town. It is the Venice of China. Be warned that there are a lot of tourists (although predominantly from China), which means high prices and lots of people hustling you to buy things. This aside its a well worth the visit.
