2023.09.07. Shanghai suburbs water town Wujeon (Hot latest)

This is Wuzhen, one of the representative water villages. It takes about 2 hours (55 yuan) by bus from Shanghai South Express Bus Terminal. Wuzhen is divided into Dongchaek and Xichae, and most people go to Xichae. You can buy separate tickets for each or buy a combined ticket. All the uploaded photos are of Xichae. The last bus to Shanghai leaves before 7pm. (There is a bus to Shanghai from the entrance of Xichae, but foreigners without WeChat cannot make reservations, so you have to go to Wuzhen Bus Terminal. It seems possible if you use Alipay. I was able to make reservations because I use WeChat Pay.) In order to fully appreciate and enjoy the night view of Xichae, I strongly recommend staying for one night. There are two types of accommodations. There are hotels run by private companies and guesthouses managed by the Chinese government called Wuzhen Homestay. There are many guesthouses in Seochaek, and if you make a reservation, they will be randomly assigned. You can choose the riverside or a few other options. (You can make a reservation on Trip.com.) It's cheap and not bad, but if you are very sensitive to hygiene, I recommend choosing a hotel. The scenery is good during the day, and the night view is especially great. That's why there are the most people after 8 pm. There are many cute shops by the river. There are so many cute things that even I, a man, picked up a lot. (aka pretty trash haha) They also sell lanterns, and many people take pictures with the lanterns at night. If you buy chopsticks at a store that sells chopsticks, they will engrave your name on them (additional cost of 20 yuan). In China, it is said that engraving your name on chopsticks is a good thing that brings good luck. There are also places that rent traditional Chinese hair and makeup and traditional costumes. Many young women go there. I waited 20 minutes to eat the famous fried rice cakes of Ujeon, but I'm not sure about the taste. One piece costs 3 yuan. Since it's popular, if there are many people, you have to wait for an hour, so if there are no people, you have to get in line right away. The boat costs 80 yuan per person. It's open until 10 PM. Walk slowly from the entrance to the end of Seochaek, the White Lotus Tower, and take in the view. After seeing the night view, take a boat from the platform near the White Lotus Tower and you'll arrive at the Seochaek entrance. (However, the waiting line at that time is huge.) You can also take a boat from the Seochaek entrance platform and walk all the way to the end. The night view is turned off after 10 PM. It's a great place to enjoy the night view. There's a Starbucks in front of the Seochaek entrance. They sell Ujeon mugs, so if you're collecting tumblers and mugs, I recommend buying them. I recommend visiting the Suhyang Village at least once during your trip to Shanghai. #Night view restaurant #Suhyang Village #Ujeon Books
