Wuzhen - A Journey Through 1,300 Years of History and Culture

On the third day of our stay in Hangzhou, we decided to book a one-day tour to the renowned water towns of Wuzhen and Xitang. The tour booking service was conveniently located in our hotel, making the process quick and effortless. We made the reservation on the morning of our second day for the following day, and by that evening, we received all the necessary details about where to meet for the tour. Wuzhen, our first stop, is notable as the birthplace of the famous literary figure Mao Dun. This ancient town is one of the six most significant water towns in the Yangtze River Delta, with a history stretching back 1,300 years. The town is characterised by its well-preserved old buildings that line the riverbanks and its meandering streets that reflect traditional cultural values.

Wuzhen during the off-season on a clear day is truly the best

I was lucky to encounter a beautiful sunny day in the spring, and since March is the off-season, there weren't many tourists, which made for a great experience. Here are some tips: 🧚🏻‍♀️Transportation The most convenient way is to take a taxi from Tongxiang high-speed train station🚄, which takes about 45 minutes and costs 50-70 yuan. 🧚🏻‍♀️Accommodation The food and lodging in Wuzhen are uniformly managed, so there's no need to worry about being overcharged. I recommend staying in the scenic area. I booked a double package for 699 yuan on Ctrip, which included one night in a waterside B&B, tickets to the Xizha scenic area, an electric car in the scenic area, and experiences like Hanfu dress-up, among other things. You can follow the official Wuzhen tourism booking for more options. Another advantage of staying inside is that your luggage can be delivered directly to your room, and when you leave, they can also transport it to the visitor center at the entrance for you. The service is very thoughtful. 🧚🏻‍♀️Other The mini-program 'Wuzhen Tourism Service' contains all the maps of attractions and food. Just navigate according to your preferences. There are also fixed activities and performances, such as flower drum opera, Pingtan, shadow play, tea art, etc. The times and locations are clearly written there. Personally, I think you can spend a day and a night in Xizha without rushing. 🧚🏻‍♀️Coffee The most recommended is 'Ling Shui Man Bar'. The view by the window is amazing, and the coffee is very good. 🧚🏻‍♀️Morning Tea Guest This is a local breakfast unique to the area, seemingly only available to those staying in the scenic area. There are only over 300 free spots per day (we booked too late and missed out, so be sure to reserve a day in advance, or you can also pay for it). It ends before 9:30 am. 😇In summary, the facilities and services throughout the scenic area are very comprehensive, and the prices are not exorbitantly high as in some tourist areas. You can truly relax and enjoy good food, drinks, and accommodation. The service staff inside are all very friendly. I really like the gentle and polite way people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang speak. The overall facilities and management can be said to be the ceiling of Chinese ancient towns, right?!!

The ancient town rated as the most beautiful in China by National Geographic is stunningly amazing!

Wuzhen, located in Tongxiang City, Jiaxing, Zhejiang, is divided into Dongzha, Xizha, Nanzha, and Beizha by the cross-shaped inland river system. With a civilization history of over 7000 years and a town-building history of 1300 years, it perfectly preserves the appearance and pattern of the ancient water town in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, known as the 'land of fish and rice, and the mansion of silk'. The southern water town is gentle and moving, and Wuzhen is definitely the best among them. With white walls and grey tiles, bluestone roads, half of the town is mundane, and the other half is poetic. Mu Xin described Wuzhen in this haiku: Jiangnan is green/ the stone steps are also green/ it always seems like it just rained. The exquisite sunlight that has not been seen for a long time falls on the green brick ground through the fine wood carving lattices... Take advantage of the good times, always go to Jiangnan, always go to Wuzhen. Take a rowing boat through the water town, stroll in the small alleys with green tiles and white walls, and feel the charm of the ancient town for thousands of years.

Wuzhen Water Town

Wuzhen Water Town, lying in the northern part of Tongxiang City, Zhejiang Province, is a typical ancient town in southern China. It is about 80 kilometers (50 miles) from both Hangzhou and Suzhou, and 140 kilometers (87 miles) from Shanghai. As one of the top six ancient towns in the southern region of the Yangtze River, Wuzhen Water Town boasts more than six thousand years of history and has always been a fertile land with abundant rice, fish and silk. It preserves the ancient appearance well and oozes charm of the water town itself. The small town, with houses made of black bricks and gray tiles contrasting sharply with the white walls, making it appear like a Chinese ink wash drawing. Stone bridges are seen here and there. Small boats with black awnings are floating on the murmuring rivers. Whether wandering along the riverside or strolling in the lanes paved with blue flagstones, you will be deeply impressed by the picturesque scenery and slow lifestyle. A crisscrossing river divides the whole Wuzhen Water Town into four scenic sections, which are respectively called as Dongzha, Nanzha, Xizha, and Beizha by local people. Since Nanzha and Beizha are less developed, tourists often prefer to visit Dongzha and Xizha. Dongzha maintains the basic original layout while Xizha has been reconstructed to reproduce the ancient appearance of the water town. Compared with Dongzha, Xizha is more bustling with numerous shops. #fallingseason

Wuzhen Water Town

Getting There - We took a car from Shanghai and drove 2 hours to Wuzhen. You can also take the train from Hongqiao railway station to the Tongxiang station in Wuzhen. Attractions - Wuzhen Water Town: There are two parts Dongzha scenic spot and Xizha (plus another 2 waterways but these are the most popular) Hotels - Na'nian Wancun Zhangshe Boutique We stayed here & it was convenient, close to the entrance of the water town and many restaurants nearby. Around 400 RMB per night Food & Restaurants - Mostly Chinese cuisine - fried radish cakes and pressed spring rolls were popular. Lots of bars inside the town. The entrance to the water town (both Dongzha and Xizha) is RMB190. Only valid for 1 day. We only visited Xizha and it was RMB150 - it's really big so there is a lot to see. Can easily stay there for 3-5 hours. With that said, it was not that much different to any other water town I've been to before. NOTE: Once you enter the town you cannot leave and re-enter. I think this is to encourage customers to stay inside the water town (at a price ofcourse - hotels range from 700 RMB up, but then you don't have to pay entrance to the town). It rained while we were in the water town and you can catch a ride to the exit for RMB10 per person as the walk can be around 20minutes depending on where you are. Enjoy! #scenicspotguide#summervacation#hotelstay

Wuzhen watertown is very beautiful and original. It is accesible easily from Hangzhou or Shanghai. There are 2 parts of the watertown itself, east one is much smaller and west one is bigger. #happynewyear #chinabeauty #happynewyear

WUZHEN SCENIC SPOT Wuzhen is an ideal destination for sightseeing, leisure tour, business event and exhibition.It fully preserves the water town’s style and pattern in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republican period. Little rivers, houses on the two banks, little bridges connecting streets, stone paved alleys, all these compose the most typical Jiangnan stle water town. Wuzhen can be divided into four parts, and the eastern part and the western part are the scenic zones requiring a ticket to visit; while the southern part and northern part is the living quarters for the locals.I highly recommend it i went on a school trip.

Strolling through Wuzhen at night, quiet and peaceful, long and simple. The winding bluestone road, the long-lasting running-in looks bright and smooth, the old threshold sculpt and the mottled lacquer mark show the charm of time. In the typical Jiangnan water town, water and bridge are its main tone and most Rich and colorful scenery. The beauty of Wuzhen lies in the beauty of the night scene, such as a dream in the evening, and a rose swaying in the morning light. People are lingering.

#Please, summer camp # small Wucun, also hidden a large zoo. This is not a giraffe, an elephant, a peacock...but a group of poultry animals that have been raised and fattened. Its so much love~ theres a lot of fun next to the shooting range, fish pond fishing, etc.~/ Hh/ Wucun is a traditional Jiangnan village adjacent to Wuzhen Xizha Historic District. It restores the rural style of the 1960s and 1970s. It is fresh and simple, and it is forgotten. 450 acres of natural pastoral, complete internal facilities (characteristic accommodation, catering, entertainment, leisure activities), one-price all-inclusive mode, intimate CCO butler service... anyone can enjoy / find themselves in this paradise Childhood time. Return to nature, make bamboo rafts, catch shrimps, hand grind beans, try farming, and feel the original village life.

You can't miss the net red card in the town of Wuzhen. Wuzhen Art Exhibition Every time you come to Wuzhen, there will be surprises. This time is no exception. I accidentally hit the Wuzhen Art Exhibition in Wuzhen North Gate. It feels really open eyes. And it is a big brain opening, it is really recommended to visit the tourists in Wuzhen, in addition to Xizha and Dongzha, the art exhibition is also worth the time to spend. I didn't know anything about the art exhibition before coming to Wuzhen, but after coming to the art exhibition, I found that there are not a lot of tourists visiting here. The exhibition area has been transformed from the old factory building. It is very old and new. The space art design is too much to describe in words. It is said that the exhibition here is not changed regularly. When I went there, I saw a lot of great designs from famous artists at home and abroad. Some of these designs are very advanced, and many of them are very common to our side. Ordinary things, but after the art processing, it is thought-provoking. Ticket: 30 yuan. Recommended stay time: at least 2 hours try to keep quiet when visiting, some art exhibitions are not allowed to take pictures, to respect the artist's creation, some can take pictures, but can not open the flash. At the same time, you can't touch the exhibits with your hands.

For the ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, winter is a low season for tourism. First, because the weather is cold, it is not suitable for going out, and there is no heating in the room. Secondly, the scenery in winter is also worse, but if you happen to be in the old town of Jiangnan when it is snowing, it is different. Wuzhen in the winter is somewhat deserted, and the snow falls on the roof of the Linshui wooden house in the Jiangnan water town, accumulating a thick layer, like the northeast snow town. The West Gate of Wuzhen is famous for its night view. There are fewer tourists in winter, and the boats on the river are also neatly docked. There has already been a layer of snow on the roof, which has not been cleaned and more artistic. Tickets for Wuzhen are not cheap. Tickets for a scenic spot in Xizha are 150 yuan, which can only be valid on the same day. It is the most expensive in the ancient town of Jiangnan.

Here is a small travel guide for our two-day and one-night trip to Wuzhen in Jiangnan, which we would like to share with everyone! First, accommodation recommendations: 1. We stayed outside the scenic area, which is relatively cost-effective. 2. We recommend the hotel we stayed at, Moshang Qingya Hotel. It is newly opened, so the bedding is brand new and cleaner. It also has a children's playground and a small gym. 3. The hotel also has a Hanfu area, and there is a Hanfu shop next to it, making it great for taking photos. 4.

Food: (Can't really call it gourmet haha) We had some snacks in the scenic area, not particularly distinctive or delicious, but with the 'filter' of being in the scenic area, not recommended if the queue is too long. (Dingsheng cake, scallion stuffed bun, pickled vegetable cake) 5. Parking🅿️: About 5 hours from entry to exit, parking fee 10💰 It's recommended to go in the afternoon, finish the tour and take the boat out just in time for sunset, stroll through the alleys of Xizha again before leaving, and take one last look at the night view of Wuzhen🌃 Many beautiful ladies dressed in cheongsams and new Chinese-style hairpins, very beautiful and fitting～ Will come again!! Want to experience the quiet water town at 7 in the morning, be an early morning tea guest🍵

It's hard to imagine that I found the feeling of celebrating Chinese New Year in my childhood in Wuzhen

As the New Year approaches, every place starts to put up lights and decorations. Having visited so many ancient towns, I found that only Wuzhen has that deep New Year charm that attracted me. Here, I experienced the New Year atmosphere of my childhood, with lion dances, street parades, making rice cakes, and so on, and took the opportunity to bring some New Year goods home. Tour sequence: Wucun - Longteng Water Market - Water Blessing Parade - Wuzhen Old Street - Scene Play - Old Street Fortune Parade - Long Street Dragon Feast - Zhaoming Lantern Gathering. Check-in spots: Wucun: A very strong New Year atmosphere with activities like making rice cakes, writing blessings, cutting paper-cuts, and more, including pig racing, finding the God of Roads, dragon and lion dances - all rich memories. Water Market: Enjoy morning tea, sit in a boat drifting among various New Year goods, with all kinds of goods waiting for everyone on the boat. There are also fortune gods and various NPCs interacting with everyone, full of vitality. Scene Play: Everyone gathers around laughing and watching the play, which is vividly performed, just like the outdoor movies of childhood, bringing everyone together for the festive spirit. Long Street Dragon Feast: Brothers and sisters from all over gather together, with the copper hot pot steaming, laughter filling the sky, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, celebrating New Year in Wuzhen is lively. Zhaoming Lantern Gathering: When the lights come on, you feel immediately transported back to ancient times, with all kinds of lanterns dazzling you, including the dragon lanterns unique to the Year of the Dragon, full of grandeur. Accommodation: You can choose to stay at the resort hotel on the dike inside the scenic area, which is very convenient with shuttle boats at the door. Warm tips: 1. The scenic area is very large, with many attractions to enjoy, so it is recommended to come early. 2. Wearing bright red clothes will make for better photos.

2023 Monthly Check-in at a New City, Stop Eight - Wuzhen, Zhejiang

I have a special fondness for Wuzhen. In junior high, I watched Huang Lei's 'Time Flies Like Water', and I became infatuated with this Jiangnan water town. 20 years later, I finally made it here during a business trip from Shanghai, stealing some time from my busy schedule to visit. However, it was quite different from what I had imagined. The boat tour was not bad, but the rest felt like a heavily commercialized antique street, filled with Yiwu trinkets, milk tea, tea leaves, stinky tofu... and even bars! Yes, all the artistic youths must return to reality, feeling as if it was all just a dream! Farewell, my 'Time Flies Like Water'! 🚉 Travel Tips: Self-driving from Shanghai to Wuzhen takes 1 hour and 40 minutes. 🌟 Highlights: You must take a ride on the black-awning boat, about 45 minutes. Also, the dye workshop is very photogenic. ⏳ Recommended Duration: Half a day. 🍽 Dining Recommendations: Local dining is not expensive, averaging 80-90 yuan per person is quite good. A meal for five can be very filling. The local dishes are delicious, and the environment is great, especially by the river.
