Things to do in Wuzhen

The annual Wuzhen Theatre Festival blends the water town with theater, featuring street performances everywhere and creating a fantastic atmosphere. No need to rush; a casual stroll will yield delightful surprises. Highly recommended for those who love art and theater to experience its unique charm.

I bought a combined ticket, and unless you go to the attractions very early in the morning, the time might be a bit rushed for first-time visitors to Wuzhen. However, overall, the environment and service experience made it a very worthwhile trip. I would highly recommend it to my friends. I would definitely come back again if I have the chance, because there are some interesting and engaging attractions that you simply can't fit in one day. ☺️

Dongzha retains the original, vibrant atmosphere of old Wuzhen, with its white walls, black tiles, small bridges, and flowing water, creating a quintessential Jiangnan water town ambiance. The scenic area boasts numerous exhibition halls, including Mao Dun's Former Residence, the Hundred Beds Museum, Huiyuan Pawnshop, and the Shadow Puppet Theater, all worth exploring in detail. Traditional folk performances can also be enjoyed. Online ticket purchase and exchange are convenient; simply scan the code to enter the park. The old streets are brimming with local life, offering a wide variety of snacks, perfect for a leisurely stroll. Complementing the style of Xizha, it's a must-visit in Wuzhen and highly recommended.

Like other ancient towns across the country, this place boasts upscale theaters and art galleries, as well as tourists from all over the world. It's packed with people who come here to admire the sights and appreciate each other's beauty.

Wuzhen Village is perfect for a family trip! The idyllic scenery is refreshing and soothing, and the park is kept clean and tidy. There are plenty of fun activities to enjoy, such as the mini train and the pea pod doll experience, which kids will absolutely love, immersing themselves in the joys of rural life. The staff are warm, friendly, and provide attentive service. The park offers complete accommodation and dining options, with fresh ingredients and excellent value for money. The pace of the trip is relaxed, allowing adults to unwind while children run wild. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse yourself in the slow pace of rural life. A day trip here is fulfilling and therapeutic, making it an excellent choice for a family vacation. Highly recommended for families with children!

It was my first time riding a rowboat, and the experience was truly amazing. Although the price was a bit high, it was completely worth it. The rowers were all dressed in the same uniform. It was a much more authentic Jiangnan experience than on a machine-powered boat. The line was quite long, and this boat was incredibly popular. I recommend going in the evening to enjoy Wuzhen's vibrant blues scene. The feeling of sunset was truly captivating. It took about half an hour. When I uploaded it, it was still light, but by the time I got on the boat, it was almost dark. Although it was quite busy, sitting on the rowboat gave me a sense of detachment and tranquility. If you're in Wuzhen, instead of spending money on food and drinks, take a rowboat ride.

A large-scale handmade dyeing workshop in Wuzhen. When you step into the dyeing workshop gate, you can see bamboo poles standing in rows, on which are densely packed fabrics printed and dyed in the workshop, among which the most common is traditional blue printed fabric, which is what we like most. However, the price of the finished product is not cheap in various stores, so we can only leave with some regrets in the end.

The White Lotus Pagoda Temple is the most famous temple in the Wuzhen Scenic Area. It is named after the White Lotus Pagoda behind the temple. It is highly recognizable in the Wuzhen Scenic Area and is the commanding height of Wuzhen. It is very beautiful under the lights at night.

It is all right to follow your desires, and the world is full of Jiangnan. In the exquisitely designed gardens, you can feel the ingenuity of the garden owner's design and his love and enjoyment of life. Passing through the gates of the houses, it seems that you can see the yearning of the women in the boudoir for the free world outside. The scenery changes with every step, and the most beautiful scenery is always on the road!

When you come to Wuzhen, you must visit the post office. Because I live in a homestay, I can walk back and forth on this street many times. I also pass by the post office at different times to get a feel of the style. I personally like the post office during the day, so you can visit it. A collection of oil-operated jackets can help you imagine the scene of people wearing jackets and walking to deliver letters at that time. In addition to the collections you can visit, the post office also sells postcards. The price is not too expensive, you can fill in the address and mail it yourself. In fact, I really like postcards, but I don’t want to send them, because I have almost never received a postcard I sent to myself, which is really embarrassing.
