Next year 2012 is the Chinese year of Dragon. The new year's eve will be January 22nd, which is coming in less than a month. People are getting prepared for the most important traditional festival - Spring Festival. You can feel the it stronger in the villages and water towns. Dried sausage, salted chicken and dried fishes, etc. can be seen all over the ZhuJiaJiao water town.

A cup of tea, some local tunes, nice breeze from the river, the traditional architecture...... Everything brings you to the relaxing country life. Forget the "steel and concrete" in the city and appreciate the black-white houses. Park your cars and ride the boat on canals. The water town Zhu Jia Jiao is a nice escape from the bustling urban life. With the coming of dragon-boat festival, the festival snack ZongZi is getting more popular throughout the water town.
