民国时代

The Republic of China Era is a specialty restaurant located in the West Gate of Wuzhen. It mainly serves Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine. As its name suggests, the restaurant is decorated in the style of the Republic of China. Old movies are played in the lobby on the first floor. The waiters are dressed in student uniforms from the Republic of China period, which creates a great atmosphere. The dishes in the restaurant taste good, are exquisitely presented, and are reasonably priced.

The decoration style is based on the characteristics of old Shanghai during the Republic of China period and the Jiangnan town. It is paired with special food to give the guests who come to eat a sense of the Republic of China style. Drinking Wuzhen's special wine is a unique flavor!

During the Republic of China era, it was a very popular restaurant in Xizha. The dishes tasted good and looked delicious. The environment was good and the dishes were served quickly. I scanned the code to place the order myself, listened to the music of the 1930s, and watched Ruan Lingyu's silent film. It was very touching.

There are fewer dishes, but they are delicious, especially the black glutinous rice, which is superb and contains candied fruit; the three-fresh hotpot is full of ingredients and delicious

After visiting Dongzha, we walked to Xizha. The tall and majestic gate and the inner park, although newly built, were well designed. There were both modern conference centers and cobblestone streets. The modern and the old complemented each other without appearing abrupt.

The service was good, but the ambiance wasn't particularly stylish, and the dishes weren't particularly impressive. The portions were generous. Seeing online prices of over 100 yuan per person, we ordered just under 300 yuan, and ended up completely overwhelmed. The braised lamb was excellent, and the drunken shrimp was highly recommended, but perhaps not to our liking, leaving us with a mediocre meal.

The restaurants that were rated higher in the reviews are all outside the scenic area. There aren't many restaurants serving authentic dishes in the area. There was one restaurant that existed during the Republican era, but I wasn't too eager to find one when I was hungry. The name is quite novel, and the signage is nice, with a nostalgic feel. The restaurant itself is dim, and although the tables were generally full, it lacked any energy. The food wasn't cheap, and I wasn't particularly interested in a particular dish, so I chose a few highly recommended items from the reviews. Mr. Hu's Tofu, while interesting in name, tasted less appealing: a mix of tofu and small seafood. The braised duck was okay. The Eight Treasure Black Rice didn't have any red bean paste, but it was still sweet enough. The wild vegetable pancakes were 6 yuan each, made with shepherd's purse and other vegetables. They were rather crude and tasted average.

This is a local Shanghainese restaurant in the scenic area. The setting is quite modern, but you'll have to wait in line when it's busy. The staff are also very helpful, with a chef in the lobby responsible for organizing the queue and arranging seats. Unfortunately, the food was average, too oily and lacking flavor. It was just enough to satisfy your hunger.
