Wuzhen is an ancient Jiangnan town with a long history in the northern suburbs of Tongxiang. The main scenic areas are divided into Xizha and Dongzha. Enjoying the night view of Xizha, riding a rowing boat and watching folk performances are experiences that tourists will not miss. This is also the filming location for "In Time" starring Huang Lei and Rene Liu. Dongzha and Xizha are about 1.5 kilometers apart. If you want to visit both Dongzha and Xizha in one day, you should arrive at Wuzhen early in the morning. You can visit Dongzha first (2-3 hours), and then start visiting Xizha after lunch. We visited Xizha and stayed until night to watch the night view in Xizha. If you have two days to spare, you can consider one day each in Xizha and Dongzha. Highlights of Xizha and Dongzha: You can spend a day wandering on the stone roads in Xizha, trying local snacks such as stinky tofu, Dingsheng cakes, and sister-in-law cakes, or visit old cultural sites such as Zhaoming Academy and the old post office. Of course, you can also take a paddle boat to savor the water town. small town. If time permits, be sure not to miss the Xizha Night Tour. The water alleys, ancient bridges and white walls are illuminated by the lights, which is so beautiful that the sightseeing tour is even more artistic. After admiring the night view, you can go to the bar to have a drink or watch an outdoor old movie or listen to a flower drum show, which is very relaxing. Compared with Xizha, Dongzha is smaller but has a richer atmosphere of life. There are also local people living here, and there are also attractions such as the Shadow Puppet Theater, Sanbaijiu Workshop, Xiuzhen Temple, and Mao Dun's Former Residence. You can also watch performances such as boxing boat (boxing and kicking on the boat) and high pole boat (climbing bamboo poles on the boat), so you can find Richer folk customs and historical connotations. There is a shuttle bus between Dongzha and Xizha. Food and specialty products: Braised mutton and duck in sauce are must-try delicacies in Wuzhen, and the mutton is especially famous. Hanlin Mansion Hotel and Fengyuan Restaurant in Dongzha, Yusheng Restaurant and Sauce Duck Braised Restaurant in Xizha are all popular restaurants. You may also want to try the fried stinky tofu, Dingsheng cake, sister-in-law cake and other special snacks in the streets and alleys. If you want to bring back some specialties, handmade "Sanbaijiu", Tao Xuchang brand bean paste, exquisite wood carvings and bamboo carvings, as well as scarves, tea coasters, umbrellas, wallets and various pictograms made of "blue calico" Pendants, etc. are all good choices, and there are many specialty shops on the street. Accommodation in scenic spots: There are many hotels and inns in Xizha Scenic Area, which are all managed by the government. The fees range from low to high. Staying in the scenic area can make it convenient to visit, and you can better experience the night view of Xizha. There are also many hotels and inns to choose from outside the scenic area, and the prices are cheaper than inside the scenic area.Tongxiang · 15km from downtown

I bought a combined ticket, and unless you go to the attractions very early in the morning, the time might be a bit rushed for first-time visitors to Wuzhen. However, overall, the environment and service experience made it a very worthwhile trip. I would highly recommend it to my friends. I would definitely come back again if I have the chance, because there are some interesting and engaging attractions that you simply can't fit in one day. ☺️

Dongzha retains the original, vibrant atmosphere of old Wuzhen, with its white walls, black tiles, small bridges, and flowing water, creating a quintessential Jiangnan water town ambiance. The scenic area boasts numerous exhibition halls, including Mao Dun's Former Residence, the Hundred Beds Museum, Huiyuan Pawnshop, and the Shadow Puppet Theater, all worth exploring in detail. Traditional folk performances can also be enjoyed. Online ticket purchase and exchange are convenient; simply scan the code to enter the park. The old streets are brimming with local life, offering a wide variety of snacks, perfect for a leisurely stroll. Complementing the style of Xizha, it's a must-visit in Wuzhen and highly recommended.

Wuzhen Village is perfect for a family trip! The idyllic scenery is refreshing and soothing, and the park is kept clean and tidy. There are plenty of fun activities to enjoy, such as the mini train and the pea pod doll experience, which kids will absolutely love, immersing themselves in the joys of rural life. The staff are warm, friendly, and provide attentive service. The park offers complete accommodation and dining options, with fresh ingredients and excellent value for money. The pace of the trip is relaxed, allowing adults to unwind while children run wild. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse yourself in the slow pace of rural life. A day trip here is fulfilling and therapeutic, making it an excellent choice for a family vacation. Highly recommended for families with children!

It was my first time riding a rowboat, and the experience was truly amazing. Although the price was a bit high, it was completely worth it. The rowers were all dressed in the same uniform. It was a much more authentic Jiangnan experience than on a machine-powered boat. The line was quite long, and this boat was incredibly popular. I recommend going in the evening to enjoy Wuzhen's vibrant blues scene. The feeling of sunset was truly captivating. It took about half an hour. When I uploaded it, it was still light, but by the time I got on the boat, it was almost dark. Although it was quite busy, sitting on the rowboat gave me a sense of detachment and tranquility. If you're in Wuzhen, instead of spending money on food and drinks, take a rowboat ride.

It is all right to follow your desires, and the world is full of Jiangnan. In the exquisitely designed gardens, you can feel the ingenuity of the garden owner's design and his love and enjoyment of life. Passing through the gates of the houses, it seems that you can see the yearning of the women in the boudoir for the free world outside. The scenery changes with every step, and the most beautiful scenery is always on the road!

The price is reasonable, and as the venue for the World Internet Technology Conference, its supporting facilities and technological infrastructure are well worth a visit. The technology exhibitions inside showcase many cutting-edge technologies and comprehensively introduce the development history of technologies such as the Internet. The environment inside the science museum is commendable, providing an immersive experience. Even more interesting is the AI ​​chess game; when you get tired of walking around, you can sit down and play against the AI, offering a rich experience and a good overall experience.

Although it was developed relatively late, it started at a high level and is very well preserved. The entire development process adhered to the principle of "repairing the old with the old, and renovating the old as it was". There are still people living in the scenic area. They have not been moved away because of tourism development. They still live almost the same way as before. Therefore, Wuzhen is leisurely and authentic, and it is a living ancient town!
