Tongkou Village
桐口村
A well-preserved traditional old village near Shangjiang Market, with bluestone lanes and gate towers and a cluster of Ming and Qing brick-and-timber houses. It can be combined with a visit to the Nüshu Garden on the same day.
Tongkou Village is in the northeast of Jiangyong County, a few kilometers north of the Nüshu Garden. It is a traditional village in the area where Nüshu, the women's script, was used. The village preserves bluestone-paved lanes, gate towers and a cluster of Ming and Qing brick-and-timber houses. Few tourists come here, so it is a good place to wander quietly through the streets or to sketch. It is a residential village with no formal scenic facilities. Please respect the privacy of the villagers when visiting.
