Wuzhen Water Town Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
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📷.

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.

Just came back from a family trip to Wuzhen, you must stay in the neighboring Wucun
It's winter vacation, and it's a great time for family trips Last weekend, I took my child to Wuzhen to experience the charm of the southern water town. However, the child is not interested in the monotonous ancient town scenery, but enjoys playing in Wucun next to Xizha. I feel that it is absolutely correct to book a hotel in Wucun this time. For a family trip to Wuzhen, I strongly recommend staying in Wucun. There are many Spring Festival themed activities recently, full of festive atmosphere❗️
🏕Stay in Wucun
Like the very common Club Med resorts in Southeast Asia, Wucun also adopts an all-inclusive way of playing, mainly to save worry and effort. There are mainly two types of accommodation in Wucun:
💫Wucun Hotel: The homestay transformed from the village houses, downstairs is the village center
💫Dao She Hotel: Modern style, larger rooms, super photogenic
The facilities are very good, living in the village has a more experiential feeling, recommended for young months🌱
😋Eat in Wucun
Wucun is all-inclusive, the least troublesome thing is to eat. Three meals a day buffet + afternoon tea + supper + all kinds of snacks, desserts, coffee, tea and water are all free, the taste is very online, you can eat whenever you are tired, this is what kind of fairy day😝
✨Rose Restaurant: A large restaurant, three meals buffet
✨Village Head Tea House: Various teas and green snacks
✨Zhiqing Restaurant: Supper is open until 23:30
✨Mill Time: Local specialty bean products snacks, mixed noodles are super fragrant
✨Zhiqing Coffee: A very high-value coffee shop, a good place for afternoon tea
👻Play in Wucun
There is an internal road from Wucun to Wuzhen Xizha, and you can enter and exit unlimited times with the check-in wristband. The hotel shuttle bus directly sends to the Xizha scenic area, so you don't have to worry about experiencing the morning tea guests. There are also many parent-child activities in the village, and you can't finish playing from morning to night:
✨Spring Festival theme: lion dance, writing blessings, sugar-coated haws, making New Year cakes and dumplings
✨Various handicrafts, fishing, roasting sweet potatoes, archery, feeding animals and chasing piglets...
✨The bonfire party starts at 7:00 in the evening, the atmosphere is super
✨There is also a child care service, freeing hands😬
✅The details here are really good, the outside WC sinks are all hot water. Every staff member I met was very enthusiastic and friendly. The experience was excellent for two days. The only regret is that I didn't book one more day because there is a trip to Shaoxing later.
The entrance here is called the village entrance, the lobby is called the village committee, the guests are called villagers, and you can stroll along the field ridge to watch the sunset in the evening, which is really suitable for city children who grow up in the steel forest. I heard that you can touch fish and catch crayfish in summer, and I will definitely come back for a second time‼

Alila Wuzhen Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Wake up in Alila and experience the light and shadow aesthetics of the Jiangnan water town!
Address: Wuzhen, Tongxiang, Zhejiang
The hotel is about 4.3 kilometers away from the Xizha Scenic Area. It is not just a regular choice for the surrounding water towns. Its unique geographical location adjacent to the wetland naturally forms a barrier to isolate the hustle and bustle. It is extremely quiet. Crossing its threshold is like entering a beautiful world that makes your heart beat faster. Every step is a scene, as if you are walking in a painting. The design comes from the top domestic architectural firm GOA Elephant Design. The architectural community is well-arranged around the water system, like a maze. It adopts a simple Jiangnan style that is simple but not lacking in temperature, calm and full of emotions. The main tone is beige and gray.
A high-end and distinctive space atmosphere is created with beige and gray as the main tone. The clever combination of architecture and water system reflects unique scenery and attracts people to explore every untouched corner. Even the most basic room type has a spacious area of 108m. Each guest room is an independent small house equipped with a private courtyard and a private bathtub facing the beautiful scenery. The tranquility and privacy make every detail full of artistic atmosphere. The food experience is also not to be missed. Breakfast can be enjoyed at the Shuishi Kou with a buffet of Western and Chinese food. It is mouth-watering. During afternoon tea time, you can integrate the beautiful scenery, melodious music and seasonal ingredients in the dreamy Sanbai Bar. As for dinner.

😋 Experience
Rich Alila-style ancient town experiences: such as watching local shadow plays, experiencing the water market, watching 'high-pole boat' performances, etc., presenting this 1300-year-old water town in an elegantly charming manner to tourists.
Alila Wuzhen is located in 'China's last pillow-water home' - Wuzhen, adjacent to a wetland scenic area to the southeast of Wuzhen, surrounded by water, about 3 kilometers away from the Xizha scenic area, a quiet paradise amidst the hustle and bustle, attracting great attention in the hotel circle as soon as it opened.
The hotel is designed by GOA Elephant, which won the Architizer A+Awards, known as the Oscars of architecture, before opening. 'The designer draws from the concept of water towns, using the prototype of Jiangnan villages, and creates a modern village with water systems, alleys, and light and shadow.
The facilities are very rich, with a 240m2 indoor constant temperature swimming pool and a 180m2 outdoor swimming pool. The swimming pool is designed with huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows on three sides, allowing views of the natural wetland landscape and the water birds that inhabit it. Next to the swimming pool is a 24-hour open gym and yoga room.
It feels like I really went on a vacation abroad!

Wuzhen's Alila is so beautiful and photogenic!
It feels as if you've really gone on a vacation abroad~ I suggest everyone to make a reservation in advance, the room rate is about 2k-3k per night. Booking the 'Shuishi' room type will result in better photos, plus the hotel includes a complimentary photography service with a professional photographer and makeup artist to create a set of spring portraits for you with 5 free retouched photos! If you like other photos, you can purchase them separately for 80 each.

Spent the weekend with family at Alila Wuzhen, and this time, following the trend didn't disappoint.
It's a 1-hour drive from Hangzhou, stayed in the Yun She room type, which is a standalone unit with a spacious area.
The expansive washbasin is still the standard of a good hotel.
It's so quiet that you can hear the birds chirping, paired with the sweet orange aroma, it's very relaxing.
My brain can finally stop thinking about anything and doesn't need to plan.
Idling away the time, being with family is a kind of happiness.
Shortcomings:
↓No turndown service
Had breakfast, lunch, dinner, and afternoon tea at the hotel, all quite ordinary. The hot water is slow, and the water pressure is not very stable.
