If you have the opportunity to visit Shanghai or Suzhou and you have some time, you should visit some of the ancient water towns that are around 1-2 hours east of downtown Shanghai. Here you will get a glimpse of how rural China was during ancient times. Some of these water towns have been around since the Ming dynasty. I visited Zhouzhuang and Xitang water cities. While they are a bit touristy they still offer a unique glimpse into China's history.
