Wuzhen is the place I have never been obsessed with in my life, and I have never dreamed of going to Jiangnan

📜【Cultural Wuzhen·Must-visit】 1⃣ Xizha Scenic Area Rowing boat night tour🌙: Take a boat through the dimly lit water lanes, with the white walls and black tiles on both sides reflected in the water. A casual shot will be the same poetic feeling as in "Dream of Splendor" (recommend the blues time in the evening, the light and shadow are beautiful). Mu Xin Art Museum🎨: Minimalist design + art exhibition, spiral staircase and floor-to-ceiling windows are the perfect place to take photos! Closed on Monday, don't miss out. Grass and Wood Dyeing Workshop🌿: The blue printed cloth flutters in the wind. Standing under the cloth drying rack, you can easily get the same blockbuster as in National Geographic. Wuzhen Post Office📮: Send a handwritten postcard to your future self for a retro feel. 2⃣ Dongzha Scenic Area Mao Dun's Former Residence: A must-visit for literary youths to experience the life atmosphere of the literary giant. Shadow play & high pole boat performance🎭: Intangible cultural heritage experience, highly recommended for those with children. 3⃣ Free Area Nanzha & Beizha🚶♀: The uncommercialized old streets are full of fireworks! It is recommended to buy handmade sauces and blue printed cloth as souvenirs, which are more affordable. 🍜【Food Guide】 1⃣ Morning tea lovers: Experience "Jiangnan morning tea" at the floating market. We recommend crab roe soup dumplings and Dingsheng cakes. Eat while watching the sailboats passing by, the atmosphere is perfect. 2⃣ Shusheng Lamb Noodles🍜: The lamb is tender and tasty, the soup is fresh and sweet, and it is an old shop privately owned by locals. 3⃣ Republic of China Restaurant: The ceiling of Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine! You must order white water fish and pickled duck. The retro environment is perfect for taking photos. 4⃣ Qiaoliqiao Teahouse🫖: Enjoy a window seat overlooking the stone bridge and flowing water, order a pot of Biluochun tea, and get the same literary and artistic feeling as in "A Time to Live and Die". 🛏【Sleeping by the water, recommended B&B】 ▪ Linshui Inn: Open the window to see the river, fall asleep to the sound of oars, 💰600+/night (including tickets + transfers). ▪ Youth hostel art lovers: Wisteria Youth Hostel, stay in an old house with a courtyard for only a hundred yuan and make friends from all over the world. 📸【Guide to taking photos】 🌅 7:00-8:30 in the morning: The main street of Xizha is empty, and ink paintings are taken at Dingsheng Bridge and Yudu Bridge. 🌆 Blues Time 17:30-18:30: The lights of Wuzhen Grand Theater are turned on, and the symmetrical composition captures the collision of modern and classical. 🌌 Must-see night view: Take photos of the reflection of lanterns at Wenchang Pavilion Pier, and use long exposure to turn the water surface into silk. Dressing suggestions: New Chinese-style gown, plain cheongsam, Hanfu (available for rent in scenic spots), avoid floral patterns! Filter: VSCO A6/AU5 + reduce the saturation to highlight the texture of the green tiles and white walls. 🚗【Practical Tips】 📍Address: Tongxiang, Jiaxing, Zhejiang 🎫Tickets: West Gate 150 yuan, East Gate 110 yuan (it is recommended to only visit West Gate) 🚌Transportation: Hangzhou/Shanghai High-speed Railway to Tongxiang Station, 30 minutes by taxi ⚠Avoid pitfalls: Don’t trust tricycles soliciting passengers outside scenic areas! The specialty sister-in-law cake is better to buy online "The days of the past have become slower, cars, horses, and mail have all become slower..." In Wuzhen, be a person in ink painting for a day. Let the rowing boat's creaking sound
