Let's go... Kayaking in an Ancient Town!!!

 

It’s time to get off the beaten track, literally.  Join a bunch of like minded travelers, paddling through fisheries, beautiful canals, under bridges, and enjoy the old-town Chinese architecture from the water, a point view that few people get to experience.  Take an awesome trek, visit one of China's most beautiful ancient towns, check out a really cool Buddhist monastery, and more…

 

 

We will be kayaking through an ancient water town...

... passing by fisheries and an awesome lake...

... spending the night in one of China's best preserved towns...

...doing an awesome trek...

...checking out a peaceful Buddhist Monastery...

…partying around a bonfire...

...and more!!!

 

The story behind this trip:

A couple of years ago, Travelers Society set an unconventional goal. We wanted to try to get to a water town by water - using kayaks and a map... This turned out to be one of the coolest things we ever did.  Because the residents of the ancient town had never seen kayakers and had hardly had any previous contact with foreigners, we were greeted by cheering onlookers as we paddled through the maze of canals.   We wanted to bring this experience to all of you and made it a Travelers Society trip, open to everyone :)
