Exploring Tongxiang’s Wuzhen—Why It’s Called The “Eastern Venice” 🚤✨ If you’re craving an immersive old-world vibe, you have to check out Wuzhen West Gate Scenic Area in Tongxiang. Think winding canals, ancient Chinese architecture, peaceful water towns, and chill walks by the river—legit feels like stepping back a century! Many travelers call Wuzhen “the Venice of the East,” and after wandering its tree-lined waterways (spotting traditional bridges and white-walled houses), you’ll see why. Top Spot to Visit: Wuzhen West Gate Scenic Area Address: 383 Longyuan Rd, Tongxiang, Jiaxing, Zhejiang Opening: 09:00-22:00 (open year-round) Entrance: RMB 170 (totally worth it for the atmosphere) I arrived on a sunny day and parked up by the tree-shaded lot—a white car among lush greenery and charming railings sets the scene for a peaceful adventure. Walk into the historic heart, and you’ll be treated to gorgeous views: old houses perched along emerald canals, bridges arching over slow-moving waters, and tons of spots for your next Insta snap. This place is all about soaking up the vibe: stroll slowly, pop into tea shops, and try local snacks from the riverside vendors. My Top Tip: Take your time—this town isn’t for rushing! Wander, relax by the pond, and maybe chat with locals about the history of these waterways. Bring shades and your camera—the sun lights up the ancient roofs beautifully. Getting around: Wuzhen is best on foot. Parking is easy on sunny days, and there are clear signs everywhere. Food rec: Grab a bowl of fresh noodles or mutton skewers in a riverside teahouse. #WuzhenWaterTown #ChinaTravel #CulturalExploration #EasternVenice #Tongxiang
