Jiangnan Water Village Tour

D1. Arrive at Jiaxing Railway Station at ten in the morning. When you walk out of the station, there is a bus stop. Take bus No. 19 to the terminal. You can buy Wuzhen tickets at Jiaxing Bus Station (the Internet says bus No. 6 goes to West Bus Station, but the bus driver solemnly emphasized that there is no West Bus Station in Jiaxing). The fare is 10 yuan and the trip lasts about an hour. When I arrived at the station, I called the owner of the hotel I had booked to pick it up. You live near the ticket office.

It’s almost two o’clock in Wuzhen. I originally wanted to visit the west gate first and then the east gate as planned tomorrow, but the shopkeeper strongly recommended buying a combined ticket, saying that it would definitely be the end of the tour (although the shopkeeper is cool, if you ask, he will tell you in detail). Fortunately, I followed the owner's advice. I don’t know if we didn’t appreciate the beauty of Dongzha in our rush, or if it’s really better to just listen to the scenery. All in all, Dongzha was completed in two hours and we left Dongzha at 4pm to visit Tashi. It takes more than ten minutes to walk from Dongzha to Tashi. If you don't want to go, you can call a tricycle. If you don't want to go, you can go there. If you don’t want to leave when you come back, you can call a tricycle for 10 yuan for three people. (I heard there are buses, but I haven’t seen them along the way.) The east gate is a quaint natural landscape, and most of the west gate is built after the east gate. The selling point is the night view.

D2. I get up at six o'clock in the morning. In order to see Jiangnan Water Town in the morning, the section directly opposite the Dongzha entrance is free. Only by watching it on a quiet morning can you get the impression of Jiangnan Water Town. There is an old street there, which was the former town center of Wuzhen. You can buy some souvenirs, which are definitely cheaper than the scenic spots. There is an old store called Zhang Baoyuan Silver House, where the silver jewelry is all handmade. My grandfather is very kind and my little granddaughter is very cute. I bought a silver bracelet there and loved it. After breakfast it was still early, so we went to Nanzha. If you want to see the authentic Wuzhen, Nanzha is a good choice without too many artificial decorations. After lunch, I went to Xitang. People who travel to Wuzhen usually go to Xitang, or people who go to Xitang will definitely come to Wuzhen, but the strange thing is that there is no direct train between the two places.

We reversed the car, so we found four other people to carpool, paying 50 yuan each, and headed straight to Xitang. Arrive at Xitang at 2pm. Let me emphasize here that fare evasion is possible in Xitang. After four o'clock, the security guard got off work, and there was no need to buy the ticket. There are not many attractions that require tickets, so it doesn’t matter whether you want to see them or not. Visiting Xitang is similar to Lijiang Phoenix, but the night view is very beautiful, much better than the widely publicized night view of Tashi. We also took a awning boat to see Xitang on the water (when buying the boat ticket, remember to get on the boat with someone else, so you can get on the boat directly without waiting. Do you have to wait in line for a long time).

D3. Be sure to get up early in the morning and take a look at Xitang in the morning. It's as beautiful as a postcard (DD said there's no need to take a picture of it, it's a beautiful picture if you take any picture). Click on the picture to find some delicious food recommended by netizens. The first one is the tofu pudding stall. As a Cantonese, it was my first time to eat salted tofu pudding, so I wanted to give it a try. Then came the small ravioli. When I ate the first one, I hadn’t seen meat for a long time. When I ate the second one, I saw a little bit of red meat and the skin was not tasty. Anyway, it’s not as delicious as Cantonese wontons. I ate a few special snacks but didn't leave a deep impression. Anyway, give it a try when you get here. But the yellow peaches there are delicious. The boss said they were in season, sweet and juicy. If you go during the summer vacation, you must buy it and try it.

I decided to go to Shanghai temporarily. There is a direct bus from Xitang to Shanghai, which costs 32 yuan and takes one hour to Shanghai South Railway Station. When you arrive in Shanghai, take the train to People’s Square, which is the Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street and the Bund. The fighting on the Bund was terrifying, like a riot (DD said it was like the scene at the guest village overpass at the opening of the Guangzhou Asian Games), pe

D4, there is nothing to describe in Shanghai. Every big city is similar, with many high-rise buildings, many people and many cars. Nanjing Road is the Beijing Road in Guangzhou, the Bund is the Pearl River, the Pearl Tower is the waist, and Tianzifang is the Zhuangyuanfang. Whether you take the subway or the bus, after listening to Mandarin, you will always look forward to speaking Cantonese again. I went to the Chenghuang Temple in the morning and specially ate Nanxiang steamed dumplings. I had to wait in line for a long time. f I watched "Destined to Love You" and a church scene was filmed in a church in Shanghai, so I ran away excitedly. Who knows, I was turned away because my clothes were not neat and tidy (shorts, vests, skirts, and slippers were not allowed), so I had to take a few photos outside.

D5. In the morning, take the shuttle bus from Shanghai South Railway Station to Suzhou. There are two stations in Suzhou, the north station in the old city and the south station in the new city. We arrived at the North Railway Station, which is very close to the urban attractions.

People here are very tired, the weather is still as hot as ever, and there is nothing interesting in Suzhou. As they say, save your regrets and come back next time. Be sure to come back to Suzhou in spring or March when the fireworks are in full bloom. I went to Shantang Street in the evening, where the night view was pretty good, and I met a child who was enthusiastic about leading the way (DD to sum up, I met noble people along the way). The wontons in Suzhou are delicious and the fillings are delicious.

D6. In the morning, we took a taxi from Pingsi Street to Suzhou South Railway Station. Only South Station has buses to Jiaxing, but not North Station. It cost 30 yuan to take a taxi, and finally caught the 9 o'clock bus. It cost 29 yuan and arrived in Jiaxing in an hour. Jiaxing Bus Station is not the station where we took the bus to Wuzhen on the first day, so this should be the North Station that netizens call it. It costs 10 yuan to take a taxi from here to the train station.
