Zhejiang's thousand-year-old ancient town benefits are here, free admission for hotel guests

With the current serious internal competition, tourist attractions have also begun to compete inwardly! As far as the ancient towns are concerned, Nanxun Ancient Town announced free admission [small attractions with combined tickets], Xitang Ancient Town is free before 8:00 in the morning and after 5:00 in the evening [not on holidays], Lu Town has been separated from the Keyan Scenic Area and offers free admission [optional community operas], and Paotan Ancient Town has also started to offer free admission from time to time, so that everyone can slowly take a tour of the ancient town and satisfy their desire to visit the Jiangnan water town! So the question is, if you want to go to an ancient town with better facilities, where should you go with your family? I recommend everyone to come to Zhejiang's thousand-year-old ancient town. Now you can stay in the hotel for free. Come live by the water and become a Jiangnan person! The one I want to introduce is Wuzhen in Zhejiang, formerly known as Wudun. It has a civilization history of more than 7,000 years and a town history of 1,300 years. It is a typical ancient water town in the south of the Yangtze River in China and a famous historical and cultural town in China. It is known as the "land of fish and rice, and the home of silk" and is known as "the last waterside home in China"! Up to now, Wuzhen has four gates, namely East, West, South and North [East and West gates are charged, South and North gates are free], as well as resorts such as Wucun. It is famous for its complete facilities and perfect experience, and is one of the well-known tourist destinations for family travel! In the New Year of 2025, good news came from Wuzhen. Starting from March 16, 2025, tourists staying in all homestays and hotels in Wuzhen Xizha Scenic Area (except Shuixiang Youth Hostel) can enjoy the free ticket policy of Wuzhen Xizha Scenic Area according to the actual number of guests staying. Simply put, staying at Xizha Hotel is free of charge for Xizha tickets. After that, you can check in at the front desk of Wuzhen Xizha Tourist Service Center by presenting a valid mainland China ID card and enter the Wuzhen Xizha Scenic Area. In this way, you can find an ancient and charming home built along the river in the south of the Yangtze River. After waking up, you can go out to see the scenery and feel the peaceful years! Moreover, most of the hotels and B&Bs in Xizha are converted from century-old residences, and the guest rooms are either facing the water or the street. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Jiangnan water town by opening the window, and step into the long Xizha Street when you go out. It is an excellent experience. You can also enjoy the family-like service from the landlord, which is comfortable and heartwarming. Friends who are visiting Wuzhen for the first time can take a two-day tour; On the first day, the South and North Gates are full of original ecology, where you can feel the life of local residents In the morning, you can come to the South Gate to experience the popular shops, delicious snacks, ancient houses, and check in and take photos.

Also, if you like cheongsam, you can go shopping in Nanzha! Arriving at Beizha in the afternoon, there are many highlights. You can check in at the door of Wuzhen Granary, and you can also visit the venue of drama performances over the years [renovated brewery], which is a perfect combination of retro and modern! Walk along the river and the old times of Beizha Old Street are waiting for you to discover. In addition, the Midnight Library, modern buildings, container check-in points and other features are still the favorites of literary and artistic young people! The next day, Xizha, Jiangnan is a book, and Wuzhen must be its cover Xizha, as the core of Wuzhen, its blue water, white walls and gray eaves create a vivid Jiangnan water town charm!
