Your afternoon’s tour starts with the Twin Bridges (Shide Bridge and Yong’an Bridge), the landmark of Zhouzhuang. The twin bridges look like an ancient key, so they are also called key bridges.

Walking through the twin bridges, you will find the twin houses, which respectively belonged to two rich merchants, Zhang and Shen. The luxury decoration and practical structure of the two houses show you the wisdom of ancient architects in Zhouzhuang.
