Starting from Nanjing, take a station wagon with the group to Wuzhen every day. The price is 100/ person. By car, you can sit in Jiaxing from Nanjing East Bus Station and take a bus from Jiaxing West Station to Wuzhen, which takes about 4 hours.
At 6: 30 in the morning, leave at the entrance of Changjiang Road Culture and Art Center, take Zhongshan Gate to Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway, then transfer to Sujiahang Expressway in Suzhou, get off at Shengze Expressway, and soon cross Tongxiang to Wuzhen, with a journey time of 5 hours.
The travel agency took us directly to a restaurant not far from the entrance of Wuzhen Scenic Area: Red Lantern Hotel, which can take 15 yuan/person. Due to the lack of participants, we had dinner with an old couple, and ordered Wuzhen special braised mutton and roasted meat with mushrooms, fried cabbage, tomato and egg soup, and a 60 yuan for four people, which was quite affordable. There is pure water to fill in the hotel, but the toilet is in poor condition. Cover your nose.
/kloc-Leave the hotel at 0/2: 00, walk for 20 meters, then leave and enter Wuzhen Scenic Area. At the entrance of the scenic spot is a wide parking lot, and many coaches are parked in various places. There is a group of sculptures opposite the door, depicting the daily life and fountains of Wuzhen people, which is a bit dull.
Our guide is a shy girl with a wireless loudspeaker, and her explanation is very clear. She bought a ticket, and we went in (joint ticket to 60 yuan). The ticket face was the scenery of the God of Wealth Bay, followed by a tourist map of the scenic spot. Wuzhen is a town under the jurisdiction of Tongxiang City, a county-level city under Jiaxing City. It is 5 kilometers away from Wu Tong Town/KLOC-0, the resident of Tongxiang Municipal Government, and 36 kilometers away from Jiaxing City. It is one of the six ancient towns in Jiangnan. Formed by the merger of the former Wuzhen and Qingzhen, four old streets crisscross, forming an ancient town pattern with parallel rivers and streets and adjacent land and water.
As soon as you enter the door, Wuzhen's unique water town feels like a fairyland. To the right, we walked along a gravel road, passed through a short corridor shed, and arrived at the famous Fengyuan Shuangqiao (composed of Tongji Bridge and Renji Bridge). Remember, men should stay on the left while women should stay on the right. There are boxing boats in Fortune Bay under the bridge, and acrobatic performances are held every afternoon.
When I got off the bridge, I saw the antique Xiangshan Hall, worshipped the God of Wealth in the Bay of God of Wealth, and walked on the old street. It still feels good. When I entered the Hundred Bed Pavilion, I saw all kinds of carved beds, beds of the rich, well-designed and fine-made, and beds of the poor. What impressed me was the thousand-work bed, which was made of excellent materials and exquisite workmanship. A bed has also been divided into three parts, fully feeling the luxury of the host family.
After seeing the folk museum, I went to Gaogongsheng Winery. Sanjiu Liquor from Wuzhen Real Estate is very famous. After visiting the brewing process, I tasted it, probably because I was in Wuzhen, and I always thought it was a little special. What is worth tasting is the 5 yuan/bowl sold in front of the restaurant, which is sweet and delicious.
What impressed me more was the blue calico workshop, where the printed blue calico was hung high on the bamboo pole and on the ground. With the wind swaying, the traditional white prints on calico look very beautiful at this time, each of which is a different pattern. People rushed to the front of the cloth, picked up one or more photos wrapped around themselves and took pictures as souvenirs, just like making new clothes for themselves, while the girls stuck to the cloth like shy brides.
After that, I visited the place where Huang Lei worked in the TV series Time flies: the Ancient Books Restoration Office. I went in and read a lot of prop books. Through the introduction of the tour guide, I thought of the love affair in the story. Out of the door, it is Guanyin Bridge. The tour guide likes Huang Lei very much. She introduced that this is a small bridge where Huang Lei and Rene Liu often meet on TV, so everyone thought about it again.
After seeing the exquisite woodcarving in the woodcarving museum, I visited the coin museum and arrived at Mao Dun's former residence. Mao Dun spent his childhood and adolescence in Wuzhen, and he also lived here in his youth. After reading Mao Dun's field trilogy "Spring Silkworm", "Autumn Harvest" and "Residual Winter", we all know that the novel is a true portrayal of all aspects of Wuzhen in the old society.
After remembering this great writer, we found that his house was not small, but it was a wealthy family at that time.
Finally, take everyone through the Lin family shop, and the tour guide's task is over. Now the Lins' shop is quite a big one, and all kinds of specialties are sold, such as blue calico hats, tie-dyed paintings, aunt cakes and Sanjiu wine.
Out of the Lin shop, on the bridge, from the other side of the river to visit. There are basically no scenic spots here, mainly by boat. We were an old couple, and four of us went by boat, 80 yuan/boat. When you visit the ancient town, you must take a boat. Willows are weeping on the shore, and the ancient charm of waterfront houses still exists. The boat passes under the bridge and people travel in a picture world.
14: 30, after the tour, take off your backpack on the tour bus and say goodbye to the tour guide. Turn right along the gate of Wuzhen Scenic Area, walk 200 meters to T-junction, turn right and walk 500 meters to Wuzhen Station. The station is really shabby. It seems that Wuzhen tourism management should take this station as a window.
/kloc-I got on the bus to Jiaxing at 0/5: 20, which is a common air-conditioned bus in Nanjing. Many people stood without seats, and 7.5 yuan got off. It took me about an hour to get to Jiaxing West Railway Station, and the rural scenery along the way made my eyes green.
There are more than a dozen buses from Wuzhen to Jiaxing every day. If you don't want to wait, you can take the CMB from Wuzhen to Tongxiang at the exit and transfer from Tongxiang to Jiaxing. It costs a little more to buy a ticket.
Wuzhen gives me the feeling that it is more exquisite. There are many scenic spots besides the scenery of the ancient town. The ancient town itself is not big, and it has the charm of a water town. The business atmosphere is better than Zhouzhuang and can be tolerated. Now all the entrances to the city are locked, so it is impossible to enjoy the scenery of the water town without buying tickets. In addition, there are few hotels in the ancient town scenic spot, only one youth hostel, so it is more convenient for friends who travel by themselves to live outside the scenic spot.
