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📷.

It is very convenient to scan the code to enter the park. The scenery of the Jiangnan water town is pleasant. It feels good to stroll leisurely on the blue brick road. Dongzha is not big. It can be turned in more than an hour. Go back to the hotel to rest for a while and go to Xizha. There are many people queuing to take the rocking boat. I didn't sit. There are many girls wearing Hanfu to take pictures. Every shot is very good. I ate Wu Maxuan and it tasted good. The radish cake line was too long and there was no taste. There were many fewer people at night. The town looked very quiet and it was worth a visit.
Xizha is located on Wuzhen West Street, adjacent to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and has a road directly to Jiangsu, Suzhou and Tongxiang urban areas. The transportation is very convenient. It is different from Dongzha with tourism as the theme. Xizha is built for business tourism and leisure vacation. The west gate consists of 12 islands, and more than 70 bridges connect these islands together. For example, Tongji Bridge and Renji Bridge are adjacent at right angles. No matter which bridge you stand on, you can see another bridge in a bridge hole. Therefore, the bridge is called the bridge bridge. It is the most beautiful ancient bridge scenery in Wuzhen. The neighborhood's famous monuments, hand workshops, classic exhibition halls, folk customs, leisure places make people linger, natural scenery is beautiful, floodlight night scenes are magnificent. The second phase of Xizha and the first phase are different to protect monuments. It is a rare "sightseeing and leisure experience" ancient town scenic spot in China, which integrates sightseeing and vacation functions. The scenic spots, hand workshops, classic exhibition halls, folk customs, and leisure places in the neighborhood make people linger. The natural scenery is beautiful, and the night scene is magnificent. There are also various styles of residential special rooms and various grades of resort hotels, many well-equipped conference centers and business halls, tourist service centers, sightseeing cars, sightseeing boats, water buses, direct drinking water, natural gas, broadband network, satellite TV, electronic patrol, Floodlighting, star-rated toilets and intelligent tourist parking lots are all available, and a new ancient town community with gradually complete food and lodging travel is created as a whole. After arriving at Wuzhen Bus Station, go to Wuzhen Scenic Area (Dongzha, West)
The scenery is a little worse than Xizha. The drinks in the scenic area are not very good except for sour plum soup. . . . If the time is not enough, you can skip Dongzha, and there are also Xizha in the internal dyeing workshop. But there is a rib noodle shop outside Dongzha Scenic Area that is very delicious. It is recommended to go to eat noodles in the morning and walk into the back door of Dongzha. Visit the former residence of the celebrity, and then go all the way to the main entrance of Dongzha. Take the free shuttle bus to Xizha on the left hand side.
Wuzhen Xizha is the essence, Dongzha can count the pre-food, go to Xizha on the way to pass Dongzha, so bought a joint ticket to see. Dongzha is not overly commercialized, it does have its characteristics, there are original ecology, but the maintenance is not enough to bring some depression, cigarette butts, rotten leaves and many dilapidated scenery, a pity, there is no free maintenance in the world. Overall, as a pre-food can be tried, or can be seen, but there is no need to go.
Although it is much smaller than Xizha Scenic Area, the scenery is also very chic, the tour guide service is warm and the language is humorous.
