Where is Wuzhen? Do you have any special features?

wuzhen, which has the characteristics of a typical water town in the south of the Yangtze river, completely preserves the original style and pattern of the ancient water town in the late Qing dynasty and the Republic of China. Taking the river as a street, connecting the streets and bridges, building houses by the river, and integrating water and town, the architectural factors with unique charm in the south of the Yangtze River, such as Shuige, Bridge, Shiban Lane and Mao Dun's former residence, are organized, which embodies the humanistic thought of "harmony is the beauty" of China classical dwellings, and presents the spatial charm of the ancient water town in the south of the Yangtze River with the overall beauty of harmonious coexistence between its natural environment and humanistic environment.

wuzhen is located in Tongxiang city, the northern plain of Zhejiang province, and it takes more than an hour's drive from Hangzhou by expressway. Here, the flat terrain, dense rivers and scattered ripples make Wuzhen have a strong water town feature, giving people an elegant but unobtrusive, fresh and uncomplicated natural beauty.

despite the vicissitudes of more than 2, years, Wuzhen has completely preserved the original style and pattern of the ancient water town. The whole town is connected by the river and the bridge street, with houses built by the river, deep houses and courtyards, high ridges and high eaves, a river port in Langfang, arcades across the street, bamboo and stone fences, and a water pavilion near the river. It is antique and integrated with water and town, showing a quaint, clean and quiet school. It is a typical "small bridge, flowing water and family" in the south of the Yangtze River.

in the layout of wuzhen, because it once crossed two provinces (Zhejiang and Jiangsu), three prefectures (Jiaxing, Huzhou and Suzhou) and seven counties (Wucheng, Gui 'an, Chongde, Tongxiang, Xiushui, Wujiang and Zhenze) in history, and the accumulation and precipitation of Wuyue culture, it was obviously influenced conceptually by China traditional Confucian culture and canal commercial culture. Confucian culture often rejects the popular geomantic omen theory in construction, so it is rare to see inclined doors and left roads, screen walls and screen walls to avoid rushing, or symbolic towns such as "Taishan Shi Gandang" placed in the road, but various houses with clear multi-axes, humble and orderly.

In addition, we visited Luge Teahouse, Gaogongsheng Bad Workshop, Hongyuantai Dyeing Workshop and other commercial buildings. Huiyuan Pawnshop is located in Changfeng Street, with a dark word "dang" and a 1.8-meter-high counter, which has a strong commercial atmosphere. This is also very different from other ancient towns in Jiangnan.

what makes Wuzhen unique is that some of the houses along the river extend to the river surface, and the lower part is hit in the riverbed with wooden stakes or columns, and the beams are put on the shelves and the boards are put on, which is called "Shuige", which is a unique feature of Wuzhen. Walking into Wuzhen, walking on the narrow street paved with bluestone slabs, and seeing all kinds of houses on both sides and villagers still living in houses, people will have a kind of cordial and natural feeling. As a historical ancient town, Wuzhen, whether it is the whole town or Guanqian Street, embodies the overall beauty of harmonious coexistence between human environment and natural environment.

The most distinctive feature of Wuzhen is its wooden bed exhibition since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is located in a big house at the head of the town. There are all kinds of wooden beds from wealthy businessman dajia to ordinary people, from one bed to one bed with multiple rooms (there are dressing rooms, toilets, servants' rooms, etc.). This exhibition is the epitome of China's bed culture, with the luxury of nobles and the frugality of ordinary people.

Best time to travel:

Best time to travel in Wuzhen The climate of Wuzhen is not much different from Jiaxing and Xitang. The most beautiful seasons in a year are spring and autumn. Please avoid visiting Wuzhen at noon in summer. The dazzling white sun shines straight down, and there is no veranda to shelter it, which makes people feel very bad. The most beautiful time of the day is early morning and evening. In the morning, the river will be covered with thin fog, like a dream. In the evening, the sun is setting in the west, and the tourists are exhausted. A living Wuzhen appears in front of us.
