🍃 Misty rain enters Jiangnan, mountains and rivers dyed in ink. Time used to be slow, with carriages, horses, and mail all moving at a leisurely pace, a lifetime was just enough to love one person. The beauty of Wuzhen must be seen with your own eyes. Below is a summary of the complete guide to eating, drinking, and having fun in Wuzhen, remember to follow, like, and save! 🚏【About the Route】 - DAY1: Xizha Main Street - Wuzhen Post Office - Nanzha - White Lotus Tower climb - Xizha night view - DAY2: Morning Tea Guest - Caomu Bense Dye Workshop - Qiaoliqiao Teahouse - Take a sculling boat - Mu Xin Art Museum 🎫【Tickets】 Wuzhen is divided into East and West Zones, you can buy tickets separately, or you can buy a joint ticket. The joint ticket is 190 yuan, and a single ticket for the West Zone is 150 yuan. Do not attempt to evade the ticket, Wuzhen's management is very strict, and it is impossible to sneak into the scenic area even at night. ⭐【Must-Visit Attractions in Wuzhen】 Mu Xin Art Museum: Located within the West Zone scenic area, an additional ticket purchase is required (20 yuan/person), but it is very suitable for photography, with few people, recommended for artistic youths. Dye Workshop: Both East and West Zones have them, with the West Zone being larger in scale, but due to the crowds, the photo effect is average, best in parts. Wuzhen Post Office: Located within the West Zone scenic area, you can DIY postcards and send them to friends and family. Wuzhen Lantern Shop: Located within the West Zone scenic area, adorned with various lanterns, especially beautiful at night. Sculling Boat: Available in both East and West Zones, but it is recommended to take it in the West Zone, better in the evening, to enjoy the night view of the West Zone. West Zone Night View: Be sure to stay until night, the night view is the essence of the West Zone, I prefer the West Zone at 5 or 6 o'clock, with a blue glow, especially suitable for portrait photography. White Lotus Tower Climb: The tallest building in Wuzhen, climbing to the top allows you to overlook the entire town, beautiful when lit up at night. Water Market (Morning Tea Guest): Morning tea time is from 7:00-9:00, it is recommended to arrive before 7 o'clock, to get a seat by the river, listen to opera while having morning tea, and experience the local life of Jiangnan. Caomu Bense Dye Workshop: The dye workshop is large in scale, with black tiles and green bricks, and blue and white cloth strips hanging down, very characteristic of Jiangnan style. Qiaoliqiao Teahouse: Opens at 9 am, you can sit directly by the window on the first floor by the water. 🛶【Sculling Boat】 Next to Qiaoliqiao Teahouse is the Ruyi Bridge Pier, which runs through the entire river, chartering a boat costs 480 yuan, sharing a boat costs 60 yuan/person (8 people in total). 🥘【Wuzhen Cuisine】 - Inside the West Zone scenic area: - Su Sheng Noodle Shop (recommended lamb noodles), not a large serving, but just enough to leave room for other foods. - Wu Mama Wonton Noodles (recommended three delicacies wontons). - Wuzhen Rice Balls (a local specialty, many places sell them, I chose a modified version with meat floss inside, recommended). - Zilalala Oil Fried Shop (bought spring rolls, a letdown! Really not tasty, too dry! It is said that the radish strip cake is better). - Outside the scenic area cuisine: - Grandma's Kitchen (near the East Zone scenic area, located in a small alley, affordable prices, recommended lamb, the sauce duck is average. There are many people during meal times, be sure to go early).
