Top 5 scenic spots for elderly travelers to visit this spring

Top 5 scenic spots for elderly travelers to visit this spring

1. "Jiangnan" small towns

Jiangnan is a geographic area in China referring to lands immediately to the south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, including the southern part of the Yangtze Delta.

"Jiangnan" means, literally, south of the Yangtze River, but in its purest sense it refers to a swath of land in southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang provinces, bracketed by Suzhou and Hangzhou, the proverbial twin paradises.

Characterized by waterways, arch bridges, stone-paved trails, and old houses with carved wooden windows and tiled roofs, the 'Jiangnan' small towns are straight out of a Chinese brush painting.

These towns are a photographer's dream destination, as every turn throws up a scene crying out to be photographed, even by the clumsiest shutterbug.
