One-day tour from Wuxi to Zhouzhuang

Wuxi takes the bullet train to Kunshan, and then takes the bus to Zhouzhuang Zhouzhuang. There are many special snacks. The most distinctive is Shen Wansan's favorite elbow and pig's trotters, which originated from Shen Wansan's family in Ming Dynasty and is a necessary dish for entertaining distinguished guests. The local names are ten thousand three cubits and ten thousand three hooves. The practice is to use a big casserole, and after a day and a night of simmering, the temperature is very particular, and several pieces should be simmered. Cook it properly. If it is too bad, it will be fragile and destroy its original shape. After simmering, the skin color sauce is red and the whole hoof remains intact. When eating, use thin bones in hooves instead of knives. They are sold in local restaurants, and local residents also eat 3,000 hooves during festivals.

Other specialties include Wansan cake, cucumber, shrimp, Sanweiyuan and local fresh water. There is also an aquatic plant water shield in Zhouzhuang, which is used to make soup. It's delicious. Hans Zhang, a writer in the Western Jin Dynasty, refers to the "water shield bass soup" made of water shield and bass.

Special catering

At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Shen Wansan became the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, and specially invited famous chefs to cook all kinds of delicacies, nicknamed "three thousand family banquets". Its banquet pays attention to seasonality, exquisite selection of materials, and excellent color, fragrance, taste and shape. The specialties are: Wansanti, Sanwei Tangyuan, steamed mandarin fish, steamed eel tube, water shield bass soup, ginger snail, oil-brewed meat, braised pork with white leaves, braised bean curd, stir-fried lotus root and so on. You can try the "Three Thousand Family Banquets" at Shenting Restaurant. Located on the edge of Fuan Bridge and Shenting Hall. It still retains the style of Ming and Qing dynasties, elegant and chic, and is a restaurant with local style.
