We visited a water village called Wuzhen about 2 1/2 hours outside of Shanghai to get a taste of more rural, traditional China. The village was quite picturesque and serene, with all of the houses opening up onto a small river. One specialty in this town are the sister in law cakes that are made on site but were traditionally by made the sister in law of a family. They are delicous. The cakes are more like a sweet powder patted together, but they come in unique flavors like rose and sesame.
In this water village I also learned that people here stare freely at you. It's very honest, I like it and I'm becoming more comfortable staring back.
