Shuijing Jingguan Inn

Peaceful Riverside Stay in Authentic Dongzha Shuijing Jingguan is a charming B&B set in a traditional riverside house located in Dongzha, one of the two main sections of Wuzhen. Wuzhen is easily one of the most beautiful ancient water towns in China, just a 30 minute high speed train ride from Shanghai. The town is divided into two main areas, Xizha and Dongzha, both equally picturesque and within a 10 to 15 minute walk of each other. Xizha is more commercial, with shops, restaurants, and activities running from day to night, but also draws much larger crowds. We chose this B&B in Dongzha for one reason, we value peace and serenity more than the bustle. This place is basic, but perfect for what we were looking for. It’s just a short 50 meter walk from the Dongzha entrance gate, ticket required, and our room had beautiful views of the river and nearby bridge. In the early morning, before the tourists arrive, we got to witness the peaceful rhythm of local life from our window. Communication with the owner was very easy. He was responsive and helpful, and even picked us up from the nearby bus station after we arrived from Tongxiang Railway Station, which made our arrival completely stress free. Speaking of locals, Dongzha is very quiet, especially at night. Most of the area shuts down after 7 PM, with little to no activity and minimal lighting, which adds to the tranquil experience. I’ve visited quite a few ancient towns in China, and Wuzhen stands out as one of the few that still preserves much of its original charm and authenticity. Highly recommended if you are looking for a peaceful, authentic stay away from the crowds.

We are so lucky to get this property as our acommodation. The owner so helpful, he told me to contact him before our arrival. Turn out, he gave us a free pick up service from bus terminal to his place. He also gave us some suggestion to maximalize our trip in Wuzhen. Room is not big as it take one room in an authentic Wuzhen old house. Location is very strategic. Close to the west entrance of Dongzha (east region), and our backdoor (and window) are direct to the river (and bridge too). Our room come with complimentary chinese tea (too bad we didn't got time to try it out). Eventhough the bathroom is small, it is clean and have hot water running well. And to top it all, the owner also gave us free ride to the bus station after our stay. Thank you very much

Very good location and service. When living in this hostel, you can enjoy the East scenery areas for free. The host was quite friendly and helpful. He helped keep the luggage for us and can speak english
