Detailed itinerary
1
Wuzhen Dongzha: quaint residential buildings spread along the riverbank, inhabited by many locals, with a more lively atmosphere than Xizha. Strolling through famous attractions such as Mao Dun's former residence and Xiuzhen Temple, and experiencing the Wupeng boat again, one can better appreciate the peaceful life of the people in the water town.
2
Wuzhen Xizha: The scenic area consists of 12 small islands and more than 70 ancient bridges connected to form a water town pattern. It preserves Ming and Qing Dynasty ancient buildings such as the Maodun Memorial Hall and has a Muxin Art Museum displaying literary manuscripts, covering functions such as business tourism and leisure vacation.
3
Wuzhen Xizha (Night Tour): If Wuzhen during the day gives you an authentic experience of the Jiangnan water town, then Wuzhen at night will bring you a completely different style. The saying "stay in Wuzhen and sleep on the Jiangnan water" often interprets the beauty of Wuzhen's night scenery from one aspect.
