Wuzhen｜The tender beauty of the Jiangnan water town

Wuzhen, an ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River full of poetry and history, is known as one of the most beautiful water towns in China. With flowing water under small bridges, white walls and black tiles, walking into it feels like entering a painting described by ancient literati. 📍【Transportation】 It is very convenient to get to Wuzhen. You can get there in the following ways: 🔸Take the high-speed rail to "Tongxiang Station" (located in Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province), and then take the "Wuzhen Direct Bus" after exiting Tongxiang Station (about 30 minutes' drive). 🔸If you depart from Hangzhou or Shanghai, there are also long-distance buses that go directly to Wuzhen, and the journey takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. 🏠【Accommodation Recommendations】 If you want to stay in the scenic area and experience the pure water village style, it is recommended to book the "official homestay" (can be booked on the official website of Wuzhen Tourism). It is not only reasonably priced, but also clean and comfortable, with guaranteed service. Many homestays are renovated from ancient buildings and retain a strong local cultural atmosphere. When you walk out the door at night, you can see the beautiful sight of lights reflected on the water, which is very pleasant. 🍜【Water Market and Morning Scenery】 In the early morning, Wuzhen also has a traditional water market, which is a highlight. Residents take small boats to sell fresh fruits and vegetables, breakfast snacks such as hot buns, soy milk, and fried dough sticks. It is a great opportunity to experience local life. It is recommended to get up early and stroll along the river, enjoying the water town in the morning mist while having breakfast. 🚤【Boat Cruise Experience】 When you come to Wuzhen, don't miss taking a Wupeng boat and slowly gliding through the river. It is another angle to appreciate the scenery of the ancient town. Especially when the lights are on at night, the view from the boat becomes more poetic and romantic, and it is highly recommended for couples or families. 📸【Tourist Highlights】 ✔ Ancient bridges in the water village, bluestone streets, and antique buildings ✔ The night view is dreamy and suitable for taking commemorative photos ✔ Various handicrafts and cultural and creative shops ✔ Cultural performance sites such as bookstores, opera stages, and indigo dyeing workshops 🔖【Practical reminder】 ✅ The scenic area is divided into East Gate and West Gate.
