Wuzhen, I don't want to go again... (because I don't want to leave!)

I've been to many places, but Wuzhen has left a lasting impression on me. Today, I'm going to share my travel guide to Wuzhen. Although the title says I don't want to go again, it's actually because I don't want to leave once I'm there! 👗 What to wear: Wuzhen has a gentle and elegant atmosphere, so I recommend wearing light-colored clothes, such as a light blue dress or a white shirt with a beige skirt. These outfits look great in photos. If you're visiting in spring or fall, bring a cardigan or light coat for the temperature difference between morning and evening. In summer, make sure to protect yourself from the sun with a hat and sunglasses. In winter, wear a thick down jacket. 🗺 Travel route: East Gate: Caishen Bay → Jiangnan Hundred Bed Museum → Folk Museum → Hongyuantai Dyehouse → Mao Dun's Former Residence Start your morning at Caishen Bay to experience the tranquility of the water town. Then, head to Jiangnan Hundred Bed Museum to admire exquisite ancient beds. The Folk Museum will give you an in-depth understanding of local folk culture. At Hongyuantai Dyehouse, you can see traditional dyeing techniques. In the afternoon, visit Mao Dun's Former Residence to learn about the life of this literary giant. West Gate: Muxin Art Museum → Wuzhen Grand Theater → West Gate Street → Bridge in Bridge → Bar Street Start at Muxin Art Museum to immerse yourself in the artistic atmosphere. Then, check out Wuzhen Grand Theater, which has a unique architectural style. Stroll along West Gate Street and explore the various shops. In the evening, enjoy the night view at Bridge in Bridge, where the lights reflect on the water. It's beautiful. Afterward, you can experience Wuzhen's nightlife on Bar Street. 📸 Photo spots: ✅ Muxin Art Museum: The minimalist architectural style and the exhibits and layout inside the museum are very tasteful. It's a must-visit for art lovers. ✅ Bridge in Bridge: Standing on the bridge, you can see the typical scenery of a Jiangnan water town, with boats passing by and riverside houses. It's beautiful from any angle. ✅ West Gate Street: This ancient street has many traditional snack stalls and handicraft shops. You can walk, shop, and take photos at the same time. 🍜 Recommended food: Dingsheng Cake: Soft and glutinous, sweet but not greasy, with a cute shape and good meaning. Lamb Noodles: The lamb in Wuzhen is tender, the noodles are chewy, and the soup is rich. A bowl of this in winter will warm you up. Gusao Cake: Sweet and salty cookies that are crispy and crunchy. They also make great souvenirs. 🏠 Recommended accommodation: If you want to experience the charm of a water town, the homestays inside the West Gate Scenic Area are a good choice. You can see the river view from your window, but the prices are relatively high. If you're on a budget, you can choose a hotel outside the scenic area. They offer good value for money and are not far from the scenic area, making it convenient to get around. ⚠ Tips: 1. Book tickets and accommodation online in advance, especially during peak tourist season, to avoid delays. 2. Wuzhen has many bridges, and some stone roads are uneven. It's important to wear comfortable flat shoes, or your feet will hurt after a day of walking. 3. Bring some cash. Although most places accept mobile payments, it's better to be safe than sorry. For example, you may need cash to take a boat ride. In conclusion, Wuzhen is a poetic place, with every corner exuding the charm of a Jiangnan water town. Here, you can slow down and enjoy the tranquility of life. Stroll through ancient streets, take a boat ride, try local food, and watch performances to relax your mind. Although I say I don't want to go again, I'm already planning my next trip to Wuzhen.
