A tourist attraction suitable for slow life and slow pace, walking around and sitting on the awning boat, very comfortable. Unfortunately, I didn’t see the night view at night. The time was limited and I didn’t do it on Linhe Street for the last night. I will go again next time.
MoreWuzhen is an ancient Jiangnan town with a long history in the northern suburbs of Tongxiang. The main scenic areas are divided into Xizha and Dongzha. Enjoying the night view of Xizha, riding a rowing boat and watching folk performances are experiences that tourists will not miss. This is also the filming location for "In Time" starring Huang Lei and Rene Liu.
Dongzha and Xizha are about 1.5 kilometers apart. If you want to visit both Dongzha and Xizha in one day, you should arrive at Wuzhen early in the morning. You can visit Dongzha first (2-3 hours), and then start visiting Xizha after lunch. We visited Xizha and stayed until night to watch the night view in Xizha. If you have two days to spare, you can consider one day each in Xizha and Dongzha.
Highlights of Xizha and Dongzha:
You can spend a day wandering on the stone roads in Xizha, trying local snacks such as stinky tofu, Dingsheng cakes, and sister-in-law cakes, or visit old cultural sites such as Zhaoming Academy and the old post office. Of course, you can also take a paddle boat to savor the water town. small town.
If time permits, be sure not to miss the Xizha Night Tour. The water alleys, ancient bridges and white walls are illuminated by the lights, which is so beautiful that the sightseeing tour is even more artistic. After admiring the night view, you can go to the bar to have a drink or watch an outdoor old movie or listen to a flower drum show, which is very relaxing.
Compared with Xizha, Dongzha is smaller but has a richer atmosphere of life. There are also local people living here, and there are also attractions such as the Shadow Puppet Theater, Sanbaijiu Workshop, Xiuzhen Temple, and Mao Dun’s Former Residence. You can also watch performances such as boxing boat (boxing and kicking on the boat) and high pole boat (climbing bamboo poles on the boat), so you can find Richer folk customs and historical connotations. There is a shuttle bus between Dongzha and Xizha.

Braised mutton and duck in sauce are must-try delicacies in Wuzhen, and the mutton is especially famous. Hanlin Mansion Hotel and Fengyuan Restaurant in Dongzha, Yusheng Restaurant and Sauce Duck Braised Restaurant in Xizha are all popular restaurants. You may also want to try the fried stinky tofu, Dingsheng cake, sister-in-law cake and other special snacks in the streets and alleys.
If you want to bring back some specialties, handmade "Sanbaijiu", Tao Xuchang brand bean paste, exquisite wood carvings and bamboo carvings, as well as scarves, tea coasters, umbrellas, wallets and various pictograms made of "blue calico" Pendants, etc. are all good choices, and there are many specialty shops on the street.

Hangzhou...Wuzhen Water Village .. 1,300 yrs old water town beautifully maintained with traditional living style. 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳So peaceful and calm
The places of interest, hand workshop, classic exhibition hall, folk customs, leisure places in Xizha block make people linger, the natural scenery is beautiful, and the night view is magnificent. Ctrip is convenient and fast to buy tickets!
Dongzha is more simple and has a taste of the ancient town. There are more tour groups, and a short tour guide explained, and the tour guide said it was good. There is a high-pole boat inside. It is said that locals will climb to the top of the pole in April and May, but unfortunately they can't see it in March. Dongzha is relatively small, almost two hours to go shopping, and then go to Xizha. Xizha is better built manually and the scenery is good. The rocking boat I took at night felt very worthwhile for 60 yuan. The boat was rickety and the night view along the way was beautiful. The mutton noodles in Xizha are delicious, but don't add rose vinegar, that vinegar has a strange taste. Xizha is a bit fly in the ointment. The Grand Theatre said that it is recommended to go online, but in fact, the Grand Theatre is only open when there are activities. Like our outsiders, we don't know how to make an empty space at all. It is recommended that the attractions add relevant information on the public account. In addition, if you don't have art cells, the Muxin Art Museum is not recommended to go, and it costs 40 yuan. The key paintings on display are not understood at all, and they spend money in vain. Personally feel that Dongzha and Xizha are worth a visit, don't look at Dongzha may be old, but that is the real appearance of the ancient town.
The visitor center is very good, the service is also very good, especially the online ticket purchase, very convenient, the elderly ticket is half price, Ctrip can place an order, even Hangzhou Lingyin Temple did not do it, the scenic spot is very beautiful
The scenery is beautiful. This is the second time I have come to Wuzhen Xizha. Every time I have a different feeling. I sit in a small boat and really feel the small bridge in the south of the Yangtze River. The attitude of the service staff is also very good. I ask for directions and explain it very clearly.
