Listen to me before you go to Wuzhen for the Spring Festival

Wuzhen lightning protection + money-saving tips, if you only visit one ancient town during the Spring Festival holiday, I recommend Wuzhen. 🥲 I have organized a no-turning-back, worry-free strategy for everyone. 🚗 It is recommended that friends in the vicinity drive or take a bus, with bus services available from Hangzhou West Lake and Shanghai, costing only a few tens per person, which is more time-saving. ✅ For travel in Tongxiang, you can check the bus schedule information. There are also buses at night. Remember to apply for the Tongxiang bus code in advance. ⚠️ Lightning protection: You must take this part seriously! ❗ 1⃣️ During the winter vacation, there are many performances in Xizha, 🧨 lantern festivals, water markets, lantern boat parades, and lantern bridge walks for blessings 🧧 which continue until 2.25. I have compiled a timetable for the programs ⬇️ below. 2️⃣ For visiting Wuzhen, Xizha is highly recommended for its large area and beautiful scenery, 👍 with self-operated shops in the scenic area, without the phenomenon of crowding out tourists from other places, 📷 and it's also good for taking photos; Dongzha is full of shops where you can buy specialties. Nanzha and Beizha are basically undeveloped. Don't go to the wrong place 🥊. 3️⃣ For navigation, make sure to set 'Wuzhen Xizha No.1 Tourist Center', as there are many pedicabs and guesthouses at the entrance of the scenic area that are mostly traps. They will take you to designated shops to spend money 💰, don't pay attention to them 🙅‼️ The tourist center is also the entrance to the scenic area. Don't trust anyone before entering the scenic area ✅. 4️⃣ There are many Hanfu and cheongsam shops at the entrance of the scenic area. Renting a set, including makeup, costs about two hundred on average. For the expensive ones, just walk away 🏃. If you want to take photos, get your makeup done before entering the scenic area, 💰 as the cost in the scenic area is 2-3 times more than outside. It is recommended to choose thick Hanfu with velvet. 5️⃣ For accommodation, pay attention to the distance from the tourist center, 🦯 many 'scenic area guesthouses' are actually under the guise of 'nearby, adjacent', which may be behind the scenic area, and you have to go around to get to the main gate 🥲. Ask the owner directly how far it is from the Xizha tourist center ❗️❗️ 6️⃣ There are tour cars in the scenic area, take one if you are tired 🚖, 1⃣️0⃣️ per ride. Ask the driver to drop you off at less crowded spots. Stagger your visit ✅. It's really tiring to walk the whole way, and the experience is bad when it's crowded ☹️. This is essential knowledge for holiday travel 💡. 7️⃣ If you stay in the scenic area, remember to go to the 'Water Market' for morning tea, which ends at nine o'clock, and all seats are available. Go early to find an indoor seat by the window for a nice view. Eat well and start your visit a step ahead ⚠️ The scenic area opens at nine o'clock, and it gets crowded once the general public comes in, affecting both photography and sightseeing. 8️⃣ The south bank of the Xizha canal is also nice to stroll around, don't just follow the crowd on the north bank 🚶🏻. The south bank, from Nü Hong Street to General Wu area, has a wide view and is more suitable for photography 📷. 🗺️ Recommended route 🗺️ Wuzhen Theater ➡️ Muxin Art Museum (closed on Mondays) ➡️ Caomu Bense Dyeing Workshop ➡️ Shuishi Kou Market ➡️ Jiazuo Bookstore ➡️ Dingsheng Bridge ➡️ Zhaoming Academy ➡️ Wuzhen Post Office ➡️ Guoyue Theater ➡️ General Wu Temple ➡️ Water Theater ➡️ Qiao Li Qiao ➡️ White Lotus Tower ➡️ Matchmaker Temple ➡️ Dragon Flower Field
