Occasionally, there are promotions offering free entrance/boat tickets, which are more cost-effective. 💧 May and June are the golden months for Wuzhen’s scenery, with many activities such as seasonal theatrical performances🎤 and intangible cultural heritage events. ⚠️ Plan ahead, especially during the Dragon Boat Festival when accommodations fill up quickly. 💧 For self-driving, navigate to Wuzhen Xizha Visitor Center No. 1, which leads directly to the parking lot🅿️. It’s rare for the parking lot to be full, so avoid private parking lots advertised by roadside solicitors. 💧 Avoid taking rickshaws at the scenic area entrance, as they are more expensive than taxis😭. The accommodations recommended by rickshaw drivers often turn out to be low-quality small inns.
