Visit Wuzhen and heed the advice of the locals

If you only want to visit one ancient town, then I recommend Wuzhen🥲. Here is a worry-free guide that doesn't involve retracing your steps, be sure to save it~ 🚗Transportation advice: Friends nearby can choose to drive or take a bus, with departures from Hangzhou West Lake or Shanghai, costing only a few dozen per person, saving more time💯. ✅Tongxiang travel: You can check the bus schedule, there are also buses at night~ Remember to apply for the Tongxiang ride code in advance👌. ⚠Avoid pitfalls guide: You must take this part seriously❗ 1⃣During the winter vacation, Xizha has many performances🎶, such as night lantern festivals, water markets, lantern boat parades, and lantern bridge walks for blessings, which will continue until 2.25. The schedule of the programs has been organized for you👇right below. 2⃣For a visit to Wuzhen, Xizha is highly recommended for its large area, beautiful scenery, and self-operated shops without excluding tourists from other places. It's also great for photography📸; Dongzha is good for buying local products; South and North Zha are basically undeveloped, so don't go to the wrong place🙅. 3⃣Make sure your navigation is set to "Wuzhen Xizha No. 1 Visitor Center"🚩. Rickshaws and guesthouses at the entrance of the scenic area are mostly unreliable, leading you to designated shops for consumption, ignore them🙅! The visitor center is also the entrance to the scenic area, remember to keep your eyes peeled before entering👀. 4⃣There are many Hanfu and cheongsam shops at the entrance of the scenic area🎀. If you want to take photos, do your makeup before entering the scenic area, as the clothing stores inside charge 2-3 times more~ Choose thick Hanfu with velvet👘. 5⃣When choosing accommodation, be sure to consider the distance from the visitor center🚶. Many so-called "scenic area guesthouses" are actually far from the main gate🚫, and you may have to go around to get there. Ask the owner directly how far it is from the Xizha visitor center! 6⃣There are tour buses in the scenic area, take a ride when tired, 10 yuan per trip🚎. Ask the driver to drop you off at less crowded attractions for a better off-peak experience🤩~ 7⃣If staying in the scenic area, remember to go to the "Water Market" for morning tea🍵, which ends at 9 am, and all seats are available. Go early to get a good indoor window seat with a beautiful view🤳. After 9 am when the scenic area opens, it gets crowded, which can affect the visiting experience😣. 8⃣The south bank of the Xizha canal is also great to explore, don't just crowd on the north bank👯~ The south bank's Nü Hong Street to General Wu area has a wide view and is more suitable for photography📷. 🗺Tour route: Wuzhen Theatre➡Mu Xin Art Museum (closed on Mondays)➡Caomu Natural Dyeing Workshop➡Shuishi Kou Market➡Jia Zuo Bookstore➡Ding Sheng Bridge➡Zhao Ming Academy➡Wuzhen Post Office➡Guo Yue Theatre➡General Wu Temple➡Water Theatre➡Qiao Li Qiao➡Bai Lian Pagoda➡Yue Lao Temple➡Dragon Dance Flower Field. Did you get this guide😁? Bring your family and friends to Wuzhen and experience the charm of the Jiangnan water towns~

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.

Weekend guide to praying for blessings at Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou and half-day trip around Shanghai.

Because I just bought a new car and I'm nervous about driving it, I plan to go to Lingyin Temple to get a peace talisman and find some comfort. So, taking advantage of the weekend, I arrived in Hangzhou one day early from Shanghai and went up to the temple early the next morning to pray for blessings. 🚉Transportation guide: Depart from Shanghai, buy high-speed rail tickets at will. 🗓Itinerary review: At eight o'clock, get up and take a taxi to Lingyin Temple. Head straight to the scenic area and the temple. Feilai Peak scenic area ticket is 45 yuan. Lingyin Temple is inside Feilai Peak scenic area. Buy Lingyin Temple ticket after entering the scenic area, which costs 30 yuan. Because our goal is simple, to pray for safety on the car with lucky charms and popular 18-bead bracelets, and to ensure safety. Later, we also bought white jade Bodhi bracelets to protect our careers, hoping that we can all be safe, healthy, and successful in our work. After entering, each person can receive a free incense. The incense and fire are outside and can be lit from the main entrance of the Daxiong Baodian. There can be no open flames in the temple, prepare some change to offer golden incense. We each paid our respects at the main halls, then took advantage of the sparse crowd to descend the mountain. Time was tight, let's come back next time to explore other places~ 📝Attention tips: 1️⃣Recently, Lingyin Temple has been very popular and there are a lot of people. It is recommended to go early! There are already many cars around 8:30 am. We returned around 11:30 am and the tunnel was already congested, and there were also many people entering the scenic area. 2️⃣Wearing flat shoes for walking, still a bit tired from head to toe. 3️⃣Go inside the temple to buy prayer beads, all of which have been blessed and are the most authentic and genuine. 4️⃣If you take a taxi there, you can queue up for a taxi or take a bus back. We didn't wait and walked four kilometers back to where we were staying...got some exercise.
