These days ,tall modern buildings are rising everywhere .But if you go to a Chinese water town ,you can still take a trip back in time（回到从前）.CNN has picked China’s five most beautiful water towns.
The village of Zhouzhuang in Jiangsu calls itself the“the oldest water town in China”. The village was built in 1086 and is crossed with canals（运河）.Taking a boat ride through town,the red lanterns(灯笼）might make you think of China’s romantic past.
Hongcun in Anhui is 900years old. It was built to look like a big ox（牛）.Mount Huangshan is the head ;the town is the body and the bridges are legs.Hongcun is filled with lakes and beautiful Anhui style buildings.
Fenghuang in hunan doesn’t look like a bird.But its name means“phoenix”in Chinese.The town is really as beautiful as the mythical（神话的）bird.The Tuojiang River and the stilted (吊脚）buildings on both sides look like a postcard.
