Xishi's Hometown Hidden Gems

Visiting Xishi's Hometown in Zhuji is a must, perfectly embodying the phrase "a place that produces outstanding people." This typical Jiangnan water town scenic area not only features popular check-in spots but also offers an immersive experience of the historical charm from the Spring and Autumn period. Strolling in front of the quaint Wansha Pavilion, you can almost see the silhouette of Xishi washing silk back in the day. Across the river lies the hometown of Zheng Dan, creating a beautiful connection between the birthplaces of these two great beauties. The 50 yuan ticket is definitely worth it, granting access to four major attractions: Xishi Hall, Wansha Pavilion, Fan Li Shrine, and Zheng Family Ancestral Hall. It’s recommended to spend 3-4 hours exploring. The scenic area is filled with numerous photogenic spots popular on social media, and every shot looks stunning. To avoid peak crowds, it’s best to visit on weekday mornings. Don’t forget to bring a Hanfu for photos—it matches the setting perfectly! When you get tired, head to the old street’s Zhuji specialty snack shops. My top recommendation is the "Xishi Reunion Cake," freshly baked and sold on the spot, incredibly fragrant!
