Night Tour Zhouzhuang Raiders Night Tour Zhouzhuang Town

Visiting Zhouzhuang in the evening is a very romantic and interesting thing. You can feel the smallness and spirituality of the ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River. There are fewer tourists at night. After turning on the light, the beautiful Zhouzhuang wants to change the scene and the picture, which is extremely flexible and really suitable for punching in and taking pictures.

Under the night sky, the ancient town of Jiangnan is like a dream. Fishing boats moored at night are swaying in the clear water, and quiet music and lights pour into the night sky. Several osprey suddenly flew from the calm water. Surprised people saw the leisure of plowing cattle, the joy of windmills, the laughter of harvesting wheat stalks, and the sweet and soft language of Wu Nong, a flower girl, which became the original ecological symphony of Jiangnan water town.

The most unforgettable thing for tourists who come to Zhouzhuang is the performance-Four Seasons Zhouzhuang, which is full of nostalgic memories. The stage performance featuring the unique "small bridge and flowing water family" in the water town not only reflects the beautiful scenery of Zhouzhuang in the long river of history on the stage, but also shows the unique farming culture of the Millennium ancient town to the extreme.

The villages around the four seasons have become the main theme.

The famous painter Chen Yifei's oil painting "Memories of Hometown" made Zhouzhuang famous, and tourists flocked to it. The annual increase of 10% tourists has greatly changed this once "poor town". However, there is a sharp contrast between the noise during the day and the quiet at night, and 80% tourists to Zhouzhuang choose a day trip. How to extend the stay time of tourists has become a difficult problem. Zhouzhuang people in trouble do "night tours" in the charm and spatial situation of the water town.

On September 1 day, 2007, Zhouzhuang launched a large-scale live performance of the original ecological water town "Four Seasons Zhouzhuang". Taking water culture as the background, the program focuses on the excellent traditional culture of Zhouzhuang and the rich folk customs of the water town, artistically shows the life picture of the harmonious coexistence of water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and truly reproduces the living conditions and cultural characteristics of Zhouzhuang people.

"In the beginning, no one watched the free tickets. Hundreds of actors performed hard on the stage, and the audience was at least single digits. " When talking about the scene at the beginning of the live performance of Four Seasons Zhouzhuang, the person in charge of the performance company was still impressed.

Faced with such a dilemma, Zhouzhuang people did not give up. On the contrary, they insist on digging deep into the most distinctive connotation of the water town, integrating farming culture, fishing and hunting culture and wedding culture, and showing the touching folk customs and life interest of the water town to tourists with unique performances such as "indigenous clips" and "homesickness stories".

Today, the ancient Zhouzhuang town has become a "stage" for large-scale live performances. Visitors can see regional, folk-custom, ornamental, grassroots and artistic programs, such as Yunshui Zhouzhuang and Four Seasons Zhouzhuang, such as rainy alleys in spring, mountains in summer and harvest in autumn and winter.

Night Tour _ Five Deep Experiences in Life

Almost overnight, the beautiful live drama of the water town changed Zhouzhuang and the tourism pattern of the water town. Now, after enjoying the live performance in the water town, tourists can also listen to Kunqu Opera on the ancient stage, listen to Pingtan in Jubin Building, visit old shops in Zhenfeng Street and enjoy Qin Yun's elegant collections in Nanhu Guqin Club. Zhouzhuang Night Tour is like a slowly unfolding picture of a water town, which skillfully connects the lake bay, water lane, small bridge, old street, ancient house and famous temple in series. Moreover, tourists can not only get "small bridges, flowing water, people's homes" for night landscaping, folk customs, commercial night markets, performances of operas, homestay experiences and other activities, so that Zhouzhuang has embarked on the road of circular development of the tourism industry.

"The ancient town seen during the day is a group of static paintings, while the folk custom Zhouzhuang at night shows us the precious cultural pulse of the water town. Our yearning for the Jiangnan water town should be like this! " Not long ago, more than 50 UN officials were deeply intoxicated by the charm of Jiangnan, the first water town in China, and could not help admiring it again and again. Ou Man, an expert from the Economic Commission for Europe, said: "I was excited for more than an hour during the performance.

Nowadays, more and more tourists come to Zhouzhuang to experience the night of water town, and more and more tourists change Zhouzhuang from a one-day sightseeing tour to a deep leisure tour. According to the staff of Four Seasons Zhouzhuang, the water theater at the performance site has more than 1 000 seats, and the daily attendance rate is stable at around 60%. There are often extra performances and seats on weekends and holidays. He said that Zhouzhuang in Four Seasons brings more than 50,000 standard rooms to Zhouzhuang every year, and about 65,438+10,000 tourists choose to spend the night in Zhouzhuang, effectively boosting the homestay industry in Guzhen.

Chain expansion to realize new vision

"Attracting tourists with form innovation, impressing tourists with content depth and influencing tourists with sharing experience are concrete attempts of Zhouzhuang to guide tourism transformation with projects and products." Ping Huang, deputy mayor of Zhouzhuang Town, said that Zhouzhuang first visited the ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River in the 1980s. Faced with the upgrading of the tourism market from traditional sightseeing to leisure vacation, Zhouzhuang has created its own "experience area" for life tourism, "gathering area" for innovative tourism and "pioneer area" for cultural tourism, attracting a large number of tourists. Now, Zhouzhuang receives more than 3 million tourists every year. She said that as the first live performance of the original ecological water town in China, more than 2,300 performances have been performed so far, attracting more than 1 10,000 visitors from home and abroad.

Keeping "homesickness, local accent and appearance", awakening "homesickness" and highlighting "cultural relics", Zhouzhuang strives to turn "sleeping resources" into development capital and advantages. Today, Zhouzhuang has jumped out of the ancient town area of 0.47 square kilometers and expanded to the whole area of 38 square kilometers. We have carefully constructed a global tourism layout with the theme of "water town, beautiful culture, rural life and scenery of Jiangnan Lake", realized the leap from single tourism to "diversified tourism" and "panoramic tourism", and embarked on a creative "Zhouzhuang Road". It is reported that at present, 65% of the residents in the town are directly or indirectly engaged in the tourism service industry, and the annual tourism income of the town exceeds 2 billion yuan.
