On the west bank of the Grand Canal in Tongxiang, Jiaxing City, stands a 1,300⁃year⁃old ancient town of Wuzhen. Local people’s way of life centers around rich water resources. Traditional buildings in white and grey are well preserved after hundreds of years.
Over the years, Wuzhen has been transformed from a residential area to a popular tourist destination. Today it shows fascinating China via its gorgeous water town scenery, growing soft power and international influence.
Travel tips:
Food: Food in Wuzhen is a delight to enjoy. Wuzhen is home to abundant fish, so pickled Taihu Lake whitewater fish is a good start. The meat is delicate, smooth and tender, but mind the fish bones.
Transportation: Wuzhen is 1.5⁃hour drive from Hangzhou and 2⁃hour drive from Shanghai. The Shanghai⁃Wuzhen Highway is well serviced and there are special bus lines available. It would be a good option to include a journey of a day or two to Wuzhen next time you visit Shanghai or Hangzhou.
Climate: Typical subtropical monsoon climate with great sunshine and rich rainfall.
Admission fee: 150 yuan ($21) for the West Scenic Zone and 110 yuan ($15.5) for the East Scenic Zone. You may only pay 190 yuan ($26.7) for both zones.
Opening hours: The West Scenic Zone opens from 9:00 am to 22:00 pm. The East Scenic Zone opens from 7:00 am to 18:00 pm in summer and 7:00 am to 17:30 pm in winter.
