Wuzhen Water Town

" Wuzhen is a town under the jurisdiction of Tongxiang City, Zhejiang Province, China, located at the junction of Suzhou, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Wuzhen is famous for its ancient water town style and unique cultural history, and is known as one of the representatives of the water towns in southern China. Here are some of the main features of Wuzhen: Water town scenery: Wuzhen is located at the southern end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and is known as a water town due to its complex water system. The ancient canals, stone-paved streets, and old buildings form its unique style. Ancient architecture: Wuzhen has many well-preserved buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, including exquisite wood carvings, brick carvings, and stone carvings and other traditional crafts. These buildings reflect the architectural style and lifestyle of traditional Chinese water towns. Famous attractions: Wuzhen has some famous attractions, such as Dongzha, Xizha, Wuzhen Theater, etc. Dongzha and Xizha are the two main tourist areas of Wuzhen, preserving a large number of ancient buildings and attracting tourists and artists. Cultural activities: Wuzhen is also an important cultural and artistic gathering place, hosting the Wuzhen Theater Festival and Wuzhen International Film Festival and other large-scale cultural events every year. These events attract artists and culture lovers from both home and abroad. Wuzhen Summit: The Wuzhen Summit is an international Internet industry summit forum, regularly held in Wuzhen. The summit brings together industry leaders, experts, and entrepreneurs from around the world to discuss the trends and future of Internet development.

Wuzhen, located in Tongxiang City, Jiaxing, Zhejiang, is divided into Dongzha, Xizha, Nanzha, and Beizha by the cross-shaped inland river system. With a civilization history of over 7000 years and a town-building history of 1300 years, it perfectly preserves the appearance and pattern of the ancient water town in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, known as the 'land of fish and rice, and the mansion of silk'. The southern water town is gentle and moving, and Wuzhen is definitely the best among them. With white walls and grey tiles, bluestone roads, half of the town is mundane, and the other half is poetic. Mu Xin described Wuzhen in this haiku: Jiangnan is green/ the stone steps are also green/ it always seems like it just rained. The exquisite sunlight that has not been seen for a long time falls on the green brick ground through the fine wood carving lattices... Take advantage of the good times, always go to Jiangnan, always go to Wuzhen. Take a rowing boat through the water town, stroll in the small alleys with green tiles and white walls, and feel the charm of the ancient town for thousands of years.

Back from Wuzhen! Sharing some Labor Day travel tips with everyone😎||📍Zhejiang Jiaxing City·Tongxiang Wuzhen Scenic Area 🍃Wuzhen is like the exquisite cover of a book about the Jiangnan region, with its clear waters, white walls, and grey roofs showcasing the rich charm of a Jiangnan water town🎋 ✅Here you'll find outfit tips✅travel suggestions✅food check-ins✅itinerary routes, quickly copy the comprehensive Wuzhen guide, and don't miss out if you're planning to go during the May Day holiday📝 💃🏻Weather and outfit guide: 🔹May weather: Average temperature between 17℃~27℃ 🔹Outfit suggestions: Light colors, cheongsams, and dresses are most suitable. The small bridges and flowing waters of Wuzhen complement light blue Hanfu perfectly! The clothing rental shops in the scenic area have limited options and are not cost-effective, so it's recommended to rent your outfits in advance before entering the area😉 🚙Travel suggestions: 1️⃣Transportation: 🚄Take the high-speed train to Tongxiang Station, then transfer to bus k282/281 to Wuzhen Bus Station, and finally switch to k350 to Wuzhen Xizha Tourist Center 🚍Taking a coach is more convenient (Wuzhen is far from the high-speed train station, and direct coaches are preferred), but be aware of the varying service quality and purchase tickets through official channels to avoid privately outsourced services😒 2️⃣💰Expenses: Xizha scenic area ticket ¥150 🕙ps: Wuzhen's Dongzha does not have a night scene, Xizha scenic area is more worth visiting, and there are half-price discounts for students and the elderly, remember to bring your ID💎 3️⃣No-regret food & sightseeing route: Xizha No.1 Tourist Center➡️Mu Xin Art Museum➡️Caomu Bense Dye Workshop➡️Jingxing Bridge➡️Morning Tea Guest➡️Scholar's Lamb Noodles➡️Zhao Ming Academy➡️Wuzhen Post Office➡️Wu Ma's Wonton Shop➡️Yongping Rice Ball Shop➡️Zilala Fried Shop➡️Dragon-shaped Field➡️White Lotus Tower➡️Water Theater➡️Wujiang General Temple➡️Nv Hong Street➡️ 4️⃣Food check-ins: ✓Wu Ma's Wonton - Wild Vegetable Wonton: Freshly made and cooked, very delicious; ✓Zilala Fried Shop - Radish Cake: Freshly fried hot radish-filled cakes, crispy and tasty but can be greasy; ✓Yongping Rice Ball Shop - Osmanthus Cake: The texture is soft and sticky, leaving a lingering fragrance after eating😋 ❗️Tips to avoid pitfalls: 1️⃣Ignore the scalpers at the entrance, who often start conversations with 'Play xx attraction first, then Wuzhen,' mainly to induce consumption and earn kickbacks; 2️⃣Wuzhen's Xizha has beautiful scenery, Dongzha has a strong sense of daily life, and it's not recommended to make a special trip to Nanzha and Beizha; 3️⃣Wuzhen is suitable for slowing down and strolling leisurely, the rivers on both sides of the main street and the alleys filled with vegetation are the essence of Wuzhen's 'water town feel'; 4️⃣For accommodation, it's suggested to choose inside the Wuzhen Xizha scenic area, as the commercialization there is more standardized and refined compared to many 'new ancient towns' with clusters of homogeneous shops, making it a more cost-effective choice😉; 5️⃣During the May Day holiday, for boat rides, it's recommended to choose the Wujiang General Temple dock or Ruyi Bridge dock, as the routes head towards the exit of the scenic area, so you can conveniently leave by boat after sightseeing✅Another dock, Andu Fang, leads to the deeper part of the scenic area, the White Lotus Tower. If you enter the scenic area in the afternoon, it's suggested to take a boat ride from Andu Fang first, as there will be long queues at the docks in the evening❗️❗️
