Huzhou Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Nanxun Ancient Town Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
I'd rather go to these few ancient towns with fireworks than to Wuzhen in the Year of the Dragon
Strongly recommend saving this list for a long holiday visit to an ancient town!
1️⃣ Among the many ancient towns in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, if I could only visit one during the New Year, it would definitely be Nanxun. This ancient town, only a half-hour drive from Wuzhen, is connected to the residential area, so there are locals living in the town, giving it a lively, authentic atmosphere. In addition to wandering around the bridges and flowing water, there are several Republic of China-era buildings 🏠 worth visiting, such as the Liu's Ladder Shop, Zhang Shiming's Old Residence, and Jiaye Library.
It is recommended to drive there; there is a bus from Huzhou High-speed Railway Station, and it's even more convenient from Wuzhen, where you can hitch a ride.
2️⃣ When the scent of Anchang soy sauce duck begins to waft through the air, you know the New Year is here! People from Hangzhou rush to buy cured meat and soy sauce duck, all made with local Anchang soy sauce. This is an ancient town that even the locals from Shaoxing visit. I went there on the third day of last year's New Year, and there were still parking spots nearby. It was lively but not too crowded.
It's very close to Hangzhou, friendly for drivers, and can also be reached by subway 🚇 to the Textile City, then transfer to a direct bus. Over the years, it has not become overly commercialized. Sitting in a street-side tea house, watching the black-awning boats slowly pass by, that's the true essence of an ancient town.
3️⃣ The ancient village of Linkeng in Yongjia, Wenzhou, is located in Huangnan Township. It is recommended to drive there. The ancient village with its characteristic southern Zhejiang style and red lanterns hanging everywhere feels like a hidden paradise. Compared to Wuyuan, it's smaller and more exquisite, with more distinctive features. Linkeng was established during the Ming Dynasty as a settlement for the Mao clan and has a history of over 700 years. The architecture is a typical style of the southern Zhejiang mountainous area.
4️⃣ Longmen Ancient Town, about 1 hour from Hangzhou city center, is a lesser-known ancient village famous for being inhabited mostly by descendants of Sun Quan. Due to convenient transportation, many people from Hangzhou visit Longmen Ancient Town on the first day of the New Year to enjoy the town's specialty, pounded rice cake.
Longmen Ancient Town is located in Fuyang, and it's very convenient to drive there, only 1 hour. High-speed rail is also 🚄 convenient; from Fuyang Station, you can hitch a ride for about 35 yuan, or there are 🚌 buses that go directly to the ancient town from the station.
5️⃣ Zhouzhuang is connected by ancient bridges and rivers, linking old streets and Ming and Qing dynasty residences. As I stroll through the cobblestone alleys, between the black tiles and white walls, it feels as if time has stood still. Compared to Wuzhen, I prefer the remaining authentic atmosphere here.
In the early morning, wander leisurely through the ancient town, feeling the tranquility of the 'small bridges and flowing waters'. Or visit the ancient residences, such as Zhang Hall, Shen Hall, and Shen Sanwan's underwater tomb, all well-preserved Ming and Qing dwellings. If you're tired, you can visit the teahouse once frequented by the writer San Mao.
Tell me, which ancient town do you plan to visit this New Year to experience the festive atmosphere?

I thought Wuzhen was already beautiful, until I took a trip to Nanxun
I have returned from the ancient town of Nanxun, and overall, it was quite nice.
First, regarding transportation:
I took the high-speed train from Hangzhou to Huzhou station. After leaving Huzhou station, I took the 101 bus directly to the ancient town. The bus ride took about 1 hour and 45 minutes and cost only 2 yuan, which is very cheap. Friends can also take a taxi from Huzhou station, which would cost around 100 yuan. (For the 101 bus schedule, see attached image 9)
If you are nearby Zhejiang, you can also look for bus tickets to the ancient town. For example, I could buy a bus ticket from Hangzhou, and it takes about one to two hours to reach the ancient town. The overall duration is not much different from taking the high-speed train and then a bus, so it's up to personal preference.
Second, regarding the experience:
I arrived at the ancient town on the first evening. There were quite a few people at night, but it wasn't overcrowded, so it didn't affect the visit. Since it rained the next day, there weren't many people in the scenic area. I suggest choosing a sunny day to go, so you can see the sunset glow. Also, I personally think the night view is really good, and I suggest everyone must see the night view. The experience during the day and at night is completely different (images 3-8).
If you want to take a boat, you can do so at the Guanghui Bridge pier. It costs about forty to fifty yuan, I don't remember the exact amount. There are more people queuing for boats at night than during the day. In addition, there is a water bus during the day in the ancient town, which costs 3 yuan, very cheap.
Third, regarding food and cultural and creative products:
Nanxun Trotters
Pig's feet cost 40 yuan each, and pig's knuckles cost 80 yuan each. If you go alone, you can try the pig's feet. If you go with others, you can buy a knuckle, which is quite large and enough for several people to eat. There is also a Nanxun Trotters in the scenic area, where pig's feet are sold for 68 yuan each. Personally, I feel it's not much different from the 40 yuan ones, I didn't try it, so decide for yourself. (image 10)
Nanxun Cakes
20 yuan per box, these Nanxun cakes are not the big cake type, but more like small peach crisps, with many flavors to choose from, such as walnut, black sesame, goji berry, etc. I bought the black sesame flavor, and it tasted good. (image 11)
Shuangjiao Noodles
I recommend going to Longfeng Noodle House. The room is not big, and you may need to share a table if there are many people. The basic version costs 22 yuan per bowl and comes with two large pieces of meat. You can also choose other upgraded versions, which just add more ingredients, like beef, bamboo shoots, etc. I bought the basic version, and it was especially delicious. Some people say it's too sweet, but it might just be a matter of personal taste. Since you're here, you might as well try it. (image 12)
Stir-fried Dishes
If you want to eat stir-fried dishes, you can go to Baijianlou for private home-style dishes. There are many places to choose from, and you can enjoy the scenery while eating. Decide for yourself which one to choose. I haven't tried it.
Cultural and Creative Products
Fans are priced at 10, 15, 20, 30 yuan, etc. I suggest you buy them from the stalls in the square, where they cost 10 yuan each, cheaper than in the cultural and creative stores. Friends who want to keep a souvenir can also buy other small items. I bought a fridge magnet from The Cat's Sky Castle, which is inside the scenic area. (image 13)
That's about all I can think of. If other friends have questions, you can ask me.

Moganshan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Natures paradise # Moganshan
Escape from the city into peaceful bamboo forests , perfect getaway for travellers looking for a weekend detox from the city while trekking through the different paths and trying local cuisine in one of many restraunts which come over your walk
The long history for Moganshan and the developing tourism has led to some magnificent resorts all around which showcase different views of the bamboo forest and access to different areas all them offering a peaceful get away.
Reaching there - Train
Shanghai - Hangzhou - Deqing and mostly 30 minutes drive to resorts
can also take direct taxi from Shanghai which is offered by many resorts .#moganshan
China's most beautiful homestay recommendation: Binlincheng Homestay in Huzhou.
Recommended by Beautiful China, "Binlin City Homestay" in Huzhou is located in Maowu Village, Daixi Town, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. It is built on the mountain and dotted in a large bamboo forest. The architecture seems to naturally grow in dialogue with the site, carefully seeking a balance. Except for necessary reinforcement and windows, some slightly rough "local flavor" is not deliberately erased. The new volume is like bamboo shoots in the forest, breaking through the already destroyed foundation. The overall space of the building is divided into two halves, one for public activities and the other for living. People walking in the site form two completely different feelings as their line of sight changes. And the mountain spring water is introduced to form a water courtyard. "Bamboo" as the most intuitive impression of the site is continuously deepened in various ways in the design. The boundary between inside and outside gradually disappears, and the traditional sentiment of "living in bamboo" arises in the site. The rooms all face the bamboo sea for viewing. When the scenery outside the window becomes a rare decoration, the interior design of the room can be expressed in a relatively simple way. The homestay combines local characteristics and launches different activities in every season, such as digging bamboo shoots, tracing streams, hot springs, and snow viewing, to enrich the guests' experience as much as possible.
Moganshan- weekend🎋🎋
Why go there?
Because it’s super relaxing place for weekend getaway and perfect for hiking.
How to go there from Shanghai?
By Bus: There is a direct 4 hour bus from Shanghai which leaves 3 times in the morning from the Old North Bus Station.
By Train: You can take the high speed train to Deqing, which is the closest high speed train station to Moganshan (approximately 20 km away).
#moganshan #bambooforest #weekendtrip

I have long heard that Anji has such a good place to bring children to experience Jiangsu. It is also very convenient. I got off the highway for more than 10 minutes. I thought that the mountain road is more difficult to walk, but the road on this side is a super spacious and comfortable resort. It’s also very easy to find a place. I saw the butler waiting for us at the door. The butler came to help us with our luggage. Such a good service made us feel very comfortable. We stayed in the small planet room although it is not particularly big. There is a small tent and archery in a very comfortable room. There is also a small balcony. The balcony is just outside of the lake. If you look out from the balcony, the scenery is really beautiful. The bamboo forest and the lake are so beautiful. The room is a 1.8 bed and it is just fine for a family of three. The lights and electrical appliances are all controlled by the mobile phone. You can turn on the TV when you sleep on the bed. You don’t have to turn off the TV every time you are sleepy after watching the TV. Haha. In the afternoon, take the children to the nearby Dazhuhai and Gaojiatang scenic spots to play and listen. The butler said that there are Bamboo Expo Garden and Hello Kitty Paradise nearby because we still like the scenery and a quieter place to play for a while. It may be autumn because there are not many people here, but I heard from the butler that the summer room here It’s full of self feeling every day. The weather here is just right. Haha, the autumn here is very beautiful and the air is super good. It’s not crowded to have a better experience. Dinner is dining in the forest restaurant. It feels like the restaurant upstairs is a good photo spot here. The photos I took were sent to the circle of friends and friends said it was a fairyland dinner on earth. The set meal for 2 to 3 people was booked one day in advance. I was worried that the dishes would not be enough to eat, but the amount of dishes here i

A day trip to Sheraton hot spring resort in Huzhou, Zhejiang...
Although it’s near the mid of July, weather was so cool, after several days of heavy rain... Thankfully, the rain has stopped for a couple of hours while we were visiting 😄... The park is like 10km from the downtown, and the road is all the way green and developed...
The Sheraton Huzhou Hot Spring Resort Hotel, which stands on the south bank of Taihu Lake, has become a local landmark with its unique shape. It has not come for a few years, and now the surrounding people are woven, which has led to the development of the entire South Taihu Leisure Tourism Resort. Whether it's day or night, no matter what angle, this amazing building is always so charming. It is precisely because of the special shape, each room of the hotel is almost the same, lived several times, each time the room type is completely different, this time is a large suite, the living room, bedroom, bathroom three separate functions, the area is large. Large floor-to-ceiling windows and large balcony, you can enjoy the lake and mountains outside when you stay in the room. Luxurious hardware decoration, smart iPad control, soft and comfortable bedding, and a smiley staff are all impressive!
