Visit Wuzhen and heed the advice of the locals
If you only want to visit one ancient town, then I recommend Wuzhen🥲. Here is a worry-free guide that doesn't involve retracing your steps, be sure to save it~
🚗Transportation advice: Friends nearby can choose to drive or take a bus, with departures from Hangzhou West Lake or Shanghai, costing only a few dozen per person, saving more time💯.
✅Tongxiang travel: You can check the bus schedule, there are also buses at night~ Remember to apply for the Tongxiang ride code in advance👌.
⚠Avoid pitfalls guide: You must take this part seriously❗
1⃣During the winter vacation, Xizha has many performances🎶, such as night lantern festivals, water markets, lantern boat parades, and lantern bridge walks for blessings, which will continue until 2.25. The schedule of the programs has been organized for you👇right below.
2⃣For a visit to Wuzhen, Xizha is highly recommended for its large area, beautiful scenery, and self-operated shops without excluding tourists from other places. It's also great for photography📸; Dongzha is good for buying local products; South and North Zha are basically undeveloped, so don't go to the wrong place🙅.
3⃣Make sure your navigation is set to "Wuzhen Xizha No. 1 Visitor Center"🚩. Rickshaws and guesthouses at the entrance of the scenic area are mostly unreliable, leading you to designated shops for consumption, ignore them🙅! The visitor center is also the entrance to the scenic area, remember to keep your eyes peeled before entering👀.
4⃣There are many Hanfu and cheongsam shops at the entrance of the scenic area🎀. If you want to take photos, do your makeup before entering the scenic area, as the clothing stores inside charge 2-3 times more~ Choose thick Hanfu with velvet👘.
5⃣When choosing accommodation, be sure to consider the distance from the visitor center🚶. Many so-called "scenic area guesthouses" are actually far from the main gate🚫, and you may have to go around to get there. Ask the owner directly how far it is from the Xizha visitor center!
6⃣There are tour buses in the scenic area, take a ride when tired, 10 yuan per trip🚎. Ask the driver to drop you off at less crowded attractions for a better off-peak experience🤩~
7⃣If staying in the scenic area, remember to go to the "Water Market" for morning tea🍵, which ends at 9 am, and all seats are available. Go early to get a good indoor window seat with a beautiful view🤳. After 9 am when the scenic area opens, it gets crowded, which can affect the visiting experience😣.
8⃣The south bank of the Xizha canal is also great to explore, don't just crowd on the north bank👯~ The south bank's Nü Hong Street to General Wu area has a wide view and is more suitable for photography📷.
🗺Tour route: Wuzhen Theatre➡Mu Xin Art Museum (closed on Mondays)➡Caomu Natural Dyeing Workshop➡Shuishi Kou Market➡Jia Zuo Bookstore➡Ding Sheng Bridge➡Zhao Ming Academy➡Wuzhen Post Office➡Guo Yue Theatre➡General Wu Temple➡Water Theatre➡Qiao Li Qiao➡Bai Lian Pagoda➡Yue Lao Temple➡Dragon Dance Flower Field.
Did you get this guide😁? Bring your family and friends to Wuzhen and experience the charm of the Jiangnan water towns~

Travel Guide to the Ancient Town of Wuzhen in Jiangnan
🌸Wuzhen, a heart-stirring ancient town in Jiangnan, its beauty and charm cannot be fully expressed in words. This scenic spot located in Tongxiang City, Jiaxing, has attracted countless tourists with its unique Jiangnan water town style and historical charm. Next, I will share my travel guide to Wuzhen, hoping to be helpful to you.
🍀First of all, regarding the travel time, the Wuzhen scenic area is open all year round, and the opening hours are 9:00-22:30 every day. For the travel route, I suggest that you can visit in the following order:
1️⃣Day1:
As soon as you enter the scenic spot, the first thing that comes into view is the Xizha Old Street. This street is full of the characteristic style of the Jiangnan water town, as if it has traveled through time and space. You can appreciate the ancient architecture here, taste local delicacies, and buy characteristic handicrafts. Then go to the Caomu Benziran Dyeing Workshop, a dyeing workshop full of historical sense. Here you can understand the ancient dyeing process and also appreciate the beautiful dyed cloth. After lunch, go to the Ganchun Market, where you can buy some characteristic handicrafts or taste local delicacies. Finally, visit the night view of Wuzhen. The night view of Wuzhen has a different flavor, making people feel as if they are in a fairy tale world.
2️⃣Day2:
In the morning, go to the water market to experience the morning tea guests. Here you can taste the local breakfast and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Jiangnan water town. Then you can experience the rowing boat experience, sitting on the boat to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Jiangnan water town. Next, visit attractions such as Qiaoli Bridge and Bailian Tower. These attractions all have their own unique charm, making people linger.
🍀During the tour of Wuzhen, in addition to visiting attractions, there are also some special activities and festivals to participate in. For example, the Good Life Festival·Ganchun Collection and others are characteristic activities of Wuzhen, and each activity has its own characteristics and charm. In addition, there are some accommodation facilities to choose from in the scenic area. (Living in the scenic area, you can overlook the beauty of the scenic area and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal❤️)
🍀Regarding travel expenses, the specific travel expenses will vary according to personal consumption levels and itinerary arrangements. Generally speaking, the ticket price is 150 yuan/person, and the accommodation cost varies according to different grades and seasons, roughly ranging from 300-1000 yuan. In addition, transportation costs and other personal consumption need to be considered. Therefore, it is recommended to make a budget plan in advance to avoid unnecessary expenses.
🌸What I want to say finally is that Wuzhen is a place that needs to be felt with the heart. Here you can feel the tranquility and beauty of the Jiangnan water town, and you can also feel the heaviness of history and the connotation of culture. Whether you like history or nature, Wuzhen is a place worth visiting. I hope my guide can be helpful to your trip and look forward to meeting you in Wuzhen.

The ancient town rated as the most beautiful in China by National Geographic is stunningly amazing!
Wuzhen, located in Tongxiang City, Jiaxing, Zhejiang, is divided into Dongzha, Xizha, Nanzha, and Beizha by the cross-shaped inland river system. With a civilization history of over 7000 years and a town-building history of 1300 years, it perfectly preserves the appearance and pattern of the ancient water town in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, known as the 'land of fish and rice, and the mansion of silk'.
The southern water town is gentle and moving, and Wuzhen is definitely the best among them. With white walls and grey tiles, bluestone roads, half of the town is mundane, and the other half is poetic.
Mu Xin described Wuzhen in this haiku: Jiangnan is green/ the stone steps are also green/ it always seems like it just rained. The exquisite sunlight that has not been seen for a long time falls on the green brick ground through the fine wood carving lattices...
Take advantage of the good times, always go to Jiangnan, always go to Wuzhen.
Take a rowing boat through the water town, stroll in the small alleys with green tiles and white walls, and feel the charm of the ancient town for thousands of years.

Wuzhen is best suited for a two-day and one-night stay, will come again next time!
Wuzhen is really worth a visit, the scenery and landscape are very good, but you must be well prepared and strategize, otherwise 90% of the time it will affect the mood of play! After returning from Wuzhen, I will sort out the essential knowledge points of Wuzhen travel for everyone.
When playing in Wuzhen, you must visit Wuzhen Xizha, Xizha is the main scenic spot, the scenery is good and it is a must-visit spot. Dongzha is small and has many shops, which is more suitable for buying special products, and you can take a look at it by the way.
There are many people at the entrance of the scenic spot pretending to be scenic spot staff telling you "Go to the old street during the day, and come to Xizha at night", it is purely a scam, Xizha is enough to play all day. The old street they mentioned is a small area from Nanzha to Dongzha. It's just to scam you to consume and buy special products, buy clothes, and get a commission.
Don't take the rickshaw at the entrance of the scenic spot. The starting price of a ride-hailing car can charge you twenty to thirty. All are pits
Don't believe in the Wumei sold in Dongzha Scenic Area, the dyed grapes are super expensive, the scenic spot has put up a sign saying not to buy, and many people are still being fooled. Eat and discolor the tongue
You must take a boat in Xizha, the scenery on the boat is completely different, the swaying small boat has a lot of Jiangnan charm. You have to queue up to take a boat at night, more than twenty people queued for more than forty minutes, there will be fewer people queuing in the morning. There is mosquito repellent on the boat, you can spray it when you take a boat
Wuzhen is in Jiaxing Tongxiang, the high-speed rail to Tongxiang Station is the closest, don't buy the wrong ticket.
You can stay in Wuzhen Scenic Area, there are two types of scenic area homestays and scenic area hotels, both are watched by the scenic area. Living inside can freely enter and exit the scenic area, and you can also play in the scenic area when there are no people, the experience is very good. There are accommodation packages for 600 per person including tickets and boat tickets
There is a rest room in the scenic area toilet, with air conditioning, direct drinking water, chairs, power banks, and even free showers, where you can rest and cool off.
If you don't know how to visit Xizha, just walk west along the main street, the main scenery is on the main street. All kinds of snacks are also on the street, recommend Dingsheng Cake, Dongpo Zongzi, Wu Mama Wonton, Wumi Rice.
The natural dyeing workshop is suitable for taking pictures, it is very out of the picture on sunny days, the blue dyed cloth area is the place where the most people take pictures

Wuzhen West Zone, stealing half a day of idle life, today I am my free self
Wuzhen West Zone, stealing half a day of idle life, today I am my free self.
Walking in the alleys of Wuzhen West Zone, the sun shines through the ancient buildings, casting a golden glow. Stone paths, white walls and black tiles, antique shops, everything seems so quiet and quaint. I am immersed in this leisurely atmosphere, feeling the passage of time.
Along the alley, I came to a quiet lakeside. The lake is rippling, and the breeze brings a hint of coolness. I sat on the bench by the lake, quietly admiring this beautiful scenery. The lake and mountains are reflected in the ancient buildings, as if I am in a beautiful painting.
In the afternoon, I walked into a traditional teahouse and tasted the local tea. The teahouse is filled with a faint tea fragrance, and I seem to forget the hustle and bustle of the world while listening to the melodious guzheng music. Here, I feel the plainness and beauty of life.
Stealing half a day of idle life, I found my own world in Wuzhen West Zone. Here, I feel free and peaceful, savoring the beauty of life. This is me, a free self, a me who likes to immerse in the antique world.

For the ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, winter is a low season for tourism. First, because the weather is cold, it is not suitable for going out, and there is no heating in the room. Secondly, the scenery in winter is also worse, but if you happen to be in the old town of Jiangnan when it is snowing, it is different.
Wuzhen in the winter is somewhat deserted, and the snow falls on the roof of the Linshui wooden house in the Jiangnan water town, accumulating a thick layer, like the northeast snow town. The West Gate of Wuzhen is famous for its night view.
There are fewer tourists in winter, and the boats on the river are also neatly docked. There has already been a layer of snow on the roof, which has not been cleaned and more artistic. Tickets for Wuzhen are not cheap. Tickets for a scenic spot in Xizha are 150 yuan, which can only be valid on the same day. It is the most expensive in the ancient town of Jiangnan.

Transportation:
You can take a high-speed train to Tongxiang Station, then transfer to a bus or taxi to Wuzhen. If you're driving, it's even more convenient—just navigate to Wuzhen Scenic Area. 🚗
🏠Accommodation:
I highly recommend Tong'an Inn in the Xizha Scenic Area. 😍 It's in a great location, right in the heart of the scenic area, making it very convenient for sightseeing. The inn's rooms are quaint and full of Jiangnan water town charm. The service is also excellent, with friendly and welcoming staff who make you feel right at home. 🛏️
