2024 Huzhou Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in September)
Huzhou is located in the north of Zhejiang Province on the south bank of Lake Taihu across from Wuxi in Jiangxi and Lake Ge in Suzhou. This has been a tranquil land since ancient times. The famous silk and Huzhou brushes come from here, and it also has a long history of tea culture. Modern downtown Huzhou isn’t very big. The area of Hongqi Road and Jiangnan Industry and Trade Street are the most bustling areas, while the landscape of the coastal area of Lake Nantai on the city's north side are majestic and good for the whole family to go for a self-guided driving tour. The scenery around Huzhou is even more alluring. The Jiangnan mansions in the ancient town of Nanxun, the artistic guesthouses at Mogan Mountain, the great bamboo sea in Anji, and the ten mile stretch of ginkgo at Changxing which is splendid in the autumn are enough make you forget to want to return home in your enjoyment.

Weekend Exploration: Misty Rain in Jiangnan, Encounter with the Ancient Town of Nanxun🍃
I chose a spontaneous short trip, with the charming Nanxun Ancient Town as my destination. On Friday evening, I boarded the train to Huzhou, filled with anticipation.
📍First Impressions of Huzhou
I arrived in Huzhou at six o'clock on Friday night. I first explored Xiaoxi Street and Yishang Street, but the somewhat bland streetscapes and crowded snack streets left me a bit disappointed. 😔 The food at Zhou Sheng Ji was not to my taste, and while the Pangu Pig's Trotters were passable, the overall experience was mediocre. 🍜 If time allowed, I might recommend you to visit the Fisherman's Wharf and Taihu Ancient Town to experience the charm of Huzhou's night.
📍Nanxun Ancient Town: Serenity in Time
Early Saturday morning, I took a rideshare to the long-awaited Nanxun Ancient Town. The takeaway breakfast of Zifan rice balls was a delightful surprise, tasty and satisfying. 🍙 Then, I headed straight to the makeup shop 'Bridge Side Girl' and transformed into a woman with flowers in her hair. Although the makeup process was assembly-line style, the effect was decent enough to immerse me in the charm of the ancient town.
The Longfeng Noodle House in the ancient town was bustling, but I opted for a simple roadside snack, the sweet aroma of Shuangjiao noodles gave me a taste of the unique Jiangsu and Zhejiang flavors. 🍜 In the afternoon, I enjoyed tea and the view at Chunlan Tea House, where the three-course tea and Dingsheng cake allowed me to feel the tranquility and harmony of the ancient town. 🍵 The warmth and kindness of the grandfatherly figure made me feel even more at home.
📸Baijianlou: The Quiet Beauty of the Ancient Town
Baijianlou is a residential area of the ancient town, quiet and beautiful. I strolled along the river, taking photos as I walked, soaking in the ancient town's charm. 📷 There were tea houses and restaurants by the river, and I chose Aunt Yang's place, where a corner seat allowed me to capture the beautiful view of the bridge. 🌉 The stir-fried dishes for dinner were tasty, making me take a second look at the town's cuisine.
As night fell, the ancient town lit up, and I returned to my hotel early to rest, looking forward to the next morning's scenery. 🏨
🌅The Ancient Town in the Morning: A Scroll of Ink Painting
On Saturday morning, I got up early and walked the streets of the ancient town. The town is most beautiful around five or six o'clock, with the first light of dawn piercing through the mist, a delightful surprise. 🌅 The ancient town seemed like a scroll of ink painting, with the lake as calm as a mirror, reflecting the ancient and weathered houses, as if time had stood still here.
Along the way, I entered the hard-to-find coffee shop, where the aroma of coffee and the interior decor made me linger. The taste of the rice-scented latte was unforgettable, and I even asked the owner for the recipe afterward. ☕
As the sun rose, the number of tourists in the ancient town gradually increased. I wandered around, feeling the hustle and bustle of the ancient town. After lunch, I boarded the return train with a heart full of memories and some delicious pastries. 🚄
This trip to Nanxun allowed me to experience the charm of the Jiangnan water towns and the quiet beauty of the ancient town. Although I had some hesitations before, I truly feel it was worth the visit. 💖 I will come back to experience Nanxun in different seasons and feel its unique charm. 🌸

Bamboo Sea Private Hot Spring in the Mountains – Workers really need healing
I booked a spontaneous trip the day before and came to Moganshan to breathe in some oxygen, and it truly healed me.
The majority of the rooms in this homestay are surrounded by bamboo, which is incredibly beautiful.
I didn't choose a room with its own hot spring because I wanted to soak in the private hot spring on the top floor.
Private Hot Spring: After booking the homestay, the butler contacts you the day before according to the reserved time to book the private hot spring. I don't recommend booking it after 1 pm as the sunlight can be very glaring.
Dinner: The homestay offers set meals for 300 and 400, and they send the menu the day before for you to choose from. Every dish is delicious, and I heard the girls next door praising the chef's skills.
In the evening, there are movies, KTV, roasted sweet potatoes, and fairy sticks.
The roasted sweet potatoes taste so good.
In the afternoon, you can also gather around the stove to brew tea. It was too hot to do so, but spending a day leisurely at the homestay is not boring at all.

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?

Day 1️⃣
Nanxun Ancient Town
🍓In the morning we arrived at Nanxun Ancient Town (free admission!). Because it is the off-season for tourism, there are relatively few people, and it is very comfortable to stroll around. And the night view is more charming than during the day, we also took a rowing boat, wandering on the water, feeling the tranquility and beauty of the night. 🛶✨
⚫Tip: Remember to go early, because the ancient town turns off the lights at 10 o'clock in the evening!
🍓At noon we went to Huanxi·Pufferfish Crab Powder Lo Rice. This restaurant is a paradise for seafood lovers. Although I dare not eat pufferfish, I ordered their signature crab roe noodles, which tasted really delicious! 🦀🍜

Day 2️⃣
Clothing Street, Champion Street, Little West Street→Taihu Dragon Dream Circus
🧡We started today's itinerary and went to Clothing Street, Champion Street, and Little West Street. Among them, Clothing Street is mainly for various snacks. Although there are no particularly good shops to visit, the chestnut cakes, Dingsheng cakes, and roast pig's feet there are really drooling! 🍡🥓
🎈Next we came to Champion Street, although it is not long and not very lively, it is more suitable for strolling and admiring the scenery. And Little West Street has a strong artistic atmosphere, and many cultural and creative products are dazzling. 🎨✨
🍓In the afternoon we went to watch the Taihu Dragon Dream Circus (ticket 280 yuan). There are two performances every day, at 15:00 in the afternoon and 19:00 in the evening, lasting about an hour and a half. We chose a later time, although sitting in the back row, but the sound and lighting effects are very good! 🎪🎟️
🍓In the evening, we went to Wangjia Courtyard for dinner. This restaurant is not far from the Dragon Dream Scenic Area, and parking is very convenient. Their silver fish scrambled eggs are particularly delicious, the tender taste of the eggs paired with the fragrance of the silver fish, it is absolutely delicious! There is also Taihu white shrimp, fresh and delicious, which makes me memorable! In addition, their salt and pepper ribs are also very crispy, the aroma is overflowing when they are just on the table, it is definitely a must-try delicacy! 🍳🍤🍖

The worthwhile Jiangnan water town
January in the south is good weather, you must go out for a walk! This time I chose Nanxun Ancient Town.
There are fewer people here and it's not heavily commercialized. The quiet ancient town is really comfortable to walk around. The south parking lot is a distance from the ancient town. The north parking lot is not easy to park. If you come on weekdays, you can find it. Everyone chooses to enter the ancient town for free, and there are some niche attractions inside that charge fees. We didn't go.
The ancient town is quite large. I like Baijianlou the most. It's not far from the north gate. There is a guide map at the south visitor center. You can take a look. I really like the quietness here.
