Spent a night at homestay in Wuzhen Xizha area. The town is clean and the scenery is really beautiful. Free delivery of luggage from the counter to the homestay. Overall an excellent service experience. Having the breakfast at the breakfast place inside Xizha is also an unforgettable experience. The nearest train station is Tong Xiang station, which requires taxi ride to get there.

This is one of China’s famous cultural heritage. For those growing up in the countryside, this old town is perhaps nothing very special. But, for those living in the city, this is a gem not to be missed. The old town is crisscrossed by waterways. The shores are lined with old buildings built during unknown years but well preserved. The stone bridges crossing the waterways come in different shapes and sizes. Throughout the day and the evening, small rowing boats stream along the waterways with tourists. The place is a heaven for photographers, professional or not. There are shuttle buses taking the visitors to different hotels inside the town, but you would not see them as they travel on their special lanes, hidden mostly from sight. A pity is that despite an entrance fee close to 200 yuan, the resort is still flooded with tourists, especially during holiday time.

A very unique place. The facade of buildings and architecture are different compared to Amsterdam canals. Ensure that you visit the main entrance which opens till 10 pm. This way you can admire both the day and night scenery. The smaller entrance/ section closes at 6pm. Entrance fee per person is 150 yuan. A lot of people will dress up for photography, so you will be competing with them to take the picturesque scene. Both ride is a must for 65 yuan per person ( max 8 pax on a boat) It is a good one day trip to remember.
