I thought Wuzhen was already beautiful, until I took a trip to Nanxun
I have returned from the ancient town of Nanxun, and overall, it was quite nice.
First, regarding transportation:
I took the high-speed train from Hangzhou to Huzhou station. After leaving Huzhou station, I took the 101 bus directly to the ancient town. The bus ride took about 1 hour and 45 minutes and cost only 2 yuan, which is very cheap. Friends can also take a taxi from Huzhou station, which would cost around 100 yuan. (For the 101 bus schedule, see attached image 9)
If you are nearby Zhejiang, you can also look for bus tickets to the ancient town. For example, I could buy a bus ticket from Hangzhou, and it takes about one to two hours to reach the ancient town. The overall duration is not much different from taking the high-speed train and then a bus, so it's up to personal preference.
Second, regarding the experience:
I arrived at the ancient town on the first evening. There were quite a few people at night, but it wasn't overcrowded, so it didn't affect the visit. Since it rained the next day, there weren't many people in the scenic area. I suggest choosing a sunny day to go, so you can see the sunset glow. Also, I personally think the night view is really good, and I suggest everyone must see the night view. The experience during the day and at night is completely different (images 3-8).
If you want to take a boat, you can do so at the Guanghui Bridge pier. It costs about forty to fifty yuan, I don't remember the exact amount. There are more people queuing for boats at night than during the day. In addition, there is a water bus during the day in the ancient town, which costs 3 yuan, very cheap.
Third, regarding food and cultural and creative products:
Nanxun Trotters
Pig's feet cost 40 yuan each, and pig's knuckles cost 80 yuan each. If you go alone, you can try the pig's feet. If you go with others, you can buy a knuckle, which is quite large and enough for several people to eat. There is also a Nanxun Trotters in the scenic area, where pig's feet are sold for 68 yuan each. Personally, I feel it's not much different from the 40 yuan ones, I didn't try it, so decide for yourself. (image 10)
Nanxun Cakes
20 yuan per box, these Nanxun cakes are not the big cake type, but more like small peach crisps, with many flavors to choose from, such as walnut, black sesame, goji berry, etc. I bought the black sesame flavor, and it tasted good. (image 11)
Shuangjiao Noodles
I recommend going to Longfeng Noodle House. The room is not big, and you may need to share a table if there are many people. The basic version costs 22 yuan per bowl and comes with two large pieces of meat. You can also choose other upgraded versions, which just add more ingredients, like beef, bamboo shoots, etc. I bought the basic version, and it was especially delicious. Some people say it's too sweet, but it might just be a matter of personal taste. Since you're here, you might as well try it. (image 12)
Stir-fried Dishes
If you want to eat stir-fried dishes, you can go to Baijianlou for private home-style dishes. There are many places to choose from, and you can enjoy the scenery while eating. Decide for yourself which one to choose. I haven't tried it.
Cultural and Creative Products
Fans are priced at 10, 15, 20, 30 yuan, etc. I suggest you buy them from the stalls in the square, where they cost 10 yuan each, cheaper than in the cultural and creative stores. Friends who want to keep a souvenir can also buy other small items. I bought a fridge magnet from The Cat's Sky Castle, which is inside the scenic area. (image 13)
That's about all I can think of. If other friends have questions, you can ask me.
The ancient town has a deep cultural heritage, pleasant scenery, and local characteristics of food. The Lanting Yiyuan Hotel is comfortable and clean. It has visited the two major areas in the north and south. The small bridge and flowing water people have a natural beauty.
Nanxun Ancient Town is 20 kilometers away from Wuzhen. The whole journey is free. Individual attractions buy tickets separately. The building is simple and elegant, the price is close to the people, and there are many crayfish. The hotel has convenient parking, a good environment and clean and tidy rooms.
Nanxun Ancient City is relatively large for a long time or can't play 😊 The small boat swaying by the small bridge and flowing water is passing under the bridge. It is a beautiful scenery. It is worth recommending to try the scenery on the first floor of the other Huadeng and give you an unexpected surprise 👍
Night tours are different atmosphere (adults 50 yuan, children 20 yuan) lighting, water view, reflection ~ But listen to the work volunteers say, chartering boats during the day is more cost-effective! Overall, let's choose! At night, many attractions are closed!
In the ancient town of Nanxun, I felt the strong atmosphere of Jiangnan water town during my visit. The small bridges and flowing water and quaint buildings in the ancient town make people seem to have crossed the prosperity of thousands of years ago. I tasted authentic Jiangnan cuisine here, such as mung bean cakes and sugar dumplings, which are all memorable. Advantages: Nanxun Ancient Town has preserved many buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, such as Xiaolianzhuang and Zhang's House, which are rare historical and cultural heritage. The commercial atmosphere in the ancient town is also more harmonious, and there is no trace of excessive commercialization, so that people can better feel the original style of the ancient town. Overall evaluation: Nanxun Ancient Town is a good place to relax and experience Jiangnan culture. It is recommended that friends who have the opportunity come here to feel the charm of the ancient town, and at the same time, they can also understand Chinese traditional culture in depth.
Nanxun Ancient Town is an ancient town of Jiangnan Water Town with a better preservation. There are more historical precipitation. It is a good place to travel in Jiangnan Ancient Town. The small bridge and flowing water people make us nostalgic for round trips. It is beautiful and has many cultural monuments. It is a Jiangnan Ancient Town worth savoring.
Nanxun Ancient Town is among the six famous towns in the south of the Yangtze River, Fujia Nanxun. The combination of heavy historical culture and picturesque Jiangnan water town scenery makes people intoxicated and forget to return. It also makes Nanxun Ancient Town famous at home and abroad. Start your costume, explore the history of "four elephants, eight cattle, seventy-two golden dogs", experience the beautiful feeling of people in the middle of the painting, painting in the scenery, letting go of thoughts, relaxing.
It is indeed a Jiangnan mansion! I really don't know about Zhang Shiming before. But I know this time. Unexpectedly, Zhang Shiming is not only the cousin of Zhang Jingjiang, the elder of the Republic of China, but also one of the founders of Xiqiao Industries, and one of the earliest shareholders of Zhejiang Industrial Bank. He also participated in the historical event of writing on the bus in the same year. His old residence is a combination of Chinese and Western, that is, there is a traditional Jiangnan area of the design of the big house door, and there are baroque Western buildings. It is an eye-opener! I think this attraction is the best in Nanxun Ancient Town! All five points praise!
