Wuzhen is an ancient Jiangnan town with a long history in the northern suburbs of Tongxiang. The main scenic areas are divided into Xizha and Dongzha. Enjoying the night view of Xizha, riding a rowing boat and watching folk performances are experiences that tourists will not miss. This is also the filming location for "In Time" starring Huang Lei and Rene Liu. Dongzha and Xizha are about 1.5 kilometers apart. If you want to visit both Dongzha and Xizha in one day, you should arrive at Wuzhen early in the morning. You can visit Dongzha first (2-3 hours), and then start visiting Xizha after lunch. We visited Xizha and stayed until night to watch the night view in Xizha. If you have two days to spare, you can consider one day each in Xizha and Dongzha. Highlights of Xizha and Dongzha: You can spend a day wandering on the stone roads in Xizha, trying local snacks such as stinky tofu, Dingsheng cakes, and sister-in-law cakes, or visit old cultural sites such as Zhaoming Academy and the old post office. Of course, you can also take a paddle boat to savor the water town. small town. If time permits, be sure not to miss the Xizha Night Tour. The water alleys, ancient bridges and white walls are illuminated by the lights, which is so beautiful that the sightseeing tour is even more artistic. After admiring the night view, you can go to the bar to have a drink or watch an outdoor old movie or listen to a flower drum show, which is very relaxing. Compared with Xizha, Dongzha is smaller but has a richer atmosphere of life. There are also local people living here, and there are also attractions such as the Shadow Puppet Theater, Sanbaijiu Workshop, Xiuzhen Temple, and Mao Dun's Former Residence. You can also watch performances such as boxing boat (boxing and kicking on the boat) and high pole boat (climbing bamboo poles on the boat), so you can find Richer folk customs and historical connotations. There is a shuttle bus between Dongzha and Xizha. Food and specialty products: Braised mutton and duck in sauce are must-try delicacies in Wuzhen, and the mutton is especially famous. Hanlin Mansion Hotel and Fengyuan Restaurant in Dongzha, Yusheng Restaurant and Sauce Duck Braised Restaurant in Xizha are all popular restaurants. You may also want to try the fried stinky tofu, Dingsheng cake, sister-in-law cake and other special snacks in the streets and alleys. If you want to bring back some specialties, handmade "Sanbaijiu", Tao Xuchang brand bean paste, exquisite wood carvings and bamboo carvings, as well as scarves, tea coasters, umbrellas, wallets and various pictograms made of "blue calico" Pendants, etc. are all good choices, and there are many specialty shops on the street. Accommodation in scenic spots: There are many hotels and inns in Xizha Scenic Area, which are all managed by the government. The fees range from low to high. Staying in the scenic area can make it convenient to visit, and you can better experience the night view of Xizha. There are also many hotels and inns to choose from outside the scenic area, and the prices are cheaper than inside the scenic area.

乌镇整体来说还是一个很值得去的地标性景点,第一次去的话,我觉得可以安排至少一天。里面的四合院、染坊、酱园、小桥流水和老建筑都很有氛围感,有些场景真的会让人有一种瞬间走进电影里的感觉。尤其是白天和晚上的乌镇完全是两个不同的风景,白天比较适合慢慢逛、看建筑和拍照,晚上亮灯之后又是另一种感觉。如果时间允许,建议直接在乌镇住一晚,不需要为了赶时间走马看花。不过也有几个需要提前有心理准备的地方。首先,门票并不是“一票全包”,景区里面不少体验项目还是需要另外付费,所以实际花费可能比单纯的门票高一些。第二,景区面积真的蛮大。看起来好像就是一个水乡古镇,但认真逛下来非常考验脚力😂 强烈建议穿舒服的平底鞋或运动鞋,基本就是暴走一整天的节奏。比较想吐槽的是大型游行和表演时的人流管理。热门时段人真的非常多,但现场的人流疏导感觉不是特别到位,有些地方甚至会出现人推人的情况。对于老人、小孩,或者带着婴儿车的游客来说尤其需要注意,我个人觉得这个部分还有很大的改善空间。总结:乌镇还是值得去一次。风景和氛围确实有它独特的地方,尤其推荐体验一次从白天到夜晚的变化。不过商业化程度不低,加上热门时段的人潮,如果期待的是非常安静、原生态的江南古镇,可能会有一点落差。我的建议:留一天一夜、穿双好鞋、避开人流最高峰,然后慢慢走、慢慢看。

Dongzha retains the original, vibrant atmosphere of old Wuzhen, with its white walls, black tiles, small bridges, and flowing water, creating a quintessential Jiangnan water town ambiance. The scenic area boasts numerous exhibition halls, including Mao Dun's Former Residence, the Hundred Beds Museum, Huiyuan Pawnshop, and the Shadow Puppet Theater, all worth exploring in detail. Traditional folk performances can also be enjoyed. Online ticket purchase and exchange are convenient; simply scan the code to enter the park. The old streets are brimming with local life, offering a wide variety of snacks, perfect for a leisurely stroll. Complementing the style of Xizha, it's a must-visit in Wuzhen and highly recommended.

It is all right to follow your desires, and the world is full of Jiangnan. In the exquisitely designed gardens, you can feel the ingenuity of the garden owner's design and his love and enjoyment of life. Passing through the gates of the houses, it seems that you can see the yearning of the women in the boudoir for the free world outside. The scenery changes with every step, and the most beautiful scenery is always on the road!

The White Lotus Pagoda Temple is the most famous temple in the Wuzhen Scenic Area. It is named after the White Lotus Pagoda behind the temple. It is highly recognizable in the Wuzhen Scenic Area and is the commanding height of Wuzhen. It is very beautiful under the lights at night.

A large-scale handmade dyeing workshop in Wuzhen. When you step into the dyeing workshop gate, you can see bamboo poles standing in rows, on which are densely packed fabrics printed and dyed in the workshop, among which the most common is traditional blue printed fabric, which is what we like most. However, the price of the finished product is not cheap in various stores, so we can only leave with some regrets in the end.

When you come to Wuzhen, you must visit the post office. Because I live in a homestay, I can walk back and forth on this street many times. I also pass by the post office at different times to get a feel of the style. I personally like the post office during the day, so you can visit it. A collection of oil-operated jackets can help you imagine the scene of people wearing jackets and walking to deliver letters at that time. In addition to the collections you can visit, the post office also sells postcards. The price is not too expensive, you can fill in the address and mail it yourself. In fact, I really like postcards, but I don’t want to send them, because I have almost never received a postcard I sent to myself, which is really embarrassing.

The price is reasonable, and as the venue for the World Internet Technology Conference, its supporting facilities and technological infrastructure are well worth a visit. The technology exhibitions inside showcase many cutting-edge technologies and comprehensively introduce the development history of technologies such as the Internet. The environment inside the science museum is commendable, providing an immersive experience. Even more interesting is the AI ​​chess game; when you get tired of walking around, you can sit down and play against the AI, offering a rich experience and a good overall experience.
