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
