East Gate of Xizha Scenic Spot, No.485 Longyuan Road, Tongxiang, Jiaxing
What travelers say:
During the Chinese New Year, since my mother's hometown Wuzhen is relatively close, I decided to visit the ancient town after the second day of the Chinese New Year.
Because of the epidemic, the scenic spots are not very lively, and the nearby restaurants are not fully open. We still called the restaurant in advance to confirm that it was open and booked a private room before going. The location of the hotel is close to the entrance of the ancient town parking lot.
The environment of the hotel is relatively elegant, the service is thoughtful and enthusiastic, and the dishes are quite tasty. It is a rare recommendation for gourmets near the scenic spot.

First meal in Wuzhen, there are many people queuing, remember to go early. The decoration of the store is very characteristic of Jiangnan water town. White water fish: White water fish tastes light, and the steamed fish exudes the fragrance of the fish itself, without any fishy smell. Braised pork with dried bamboo shoots: There are a few pieces of braised pork with dried bamboo shoots, and then they smoothly absorb the greasy taste of the meat, and the bamboo shoots taste very fragrant and the meat is not fishy. Choy sum: A light dish that can neutralize the fishy smell of meat.
The first meal I bought for my trip to Wuzhen before the National Day was a group meal for 3-4 people. It was a pleasant surprise. The portions were large enough for four people, and the environment was good. The dishes were delicious, and the Dongpo pork melted in one bite. Two bottles of drinks were also given.
The aroma is so good. The service is very good. The boss lady gave us some rice wine balls. I won’t say anything else. Let’s eat.
