| The plum blossom viewing spot recommended by National Geographic is absolutely amazing!! Xixi Wetland's plum blossoms are in full bloom! I experienced the unique 'Meandering Water Plum Quest' at Xixi Wetland. If you want to experience the charm of the Jiangnan region, don't miss this place. The plum trees in Xixi Wetland are mostly planted along the streams and are famous for their weeping plums, which, like the willows by the lake, can bend down to touch the water surface. This creates the unique plum viewing method of Xixi - 'Meandering Water Plum Quest'. There are two ways to explore the plums in Xixi Wetland: 1. Water route: Take a boat along the waterway deep into the plum forest. You can charter a boat for 100 RMB per hour, with a boatman rowing. You can drink tea on the boat and relax; or you can take an electric boat for 60 RMB per person, which allows you to get on and off repeatedly to visit different spots. 2. On foot: From Zhoujia Village entrance - Meizhu Mountain Villa - Xixi Plum Villa - Jiaolu Tianzhuang - Gaozhuang - Hezhu Street - Jiangcun Market, the whole journey takes about 4 hours.
