Which one is more famous, Wuzhen or Xitang?

? Because of work, I often go to the famous ancient towns in Zhejiang: Wuzhen and Xitang. Now of course I think Wuzhen is more famous. Although Xitang has a long history, beautiful scenery, is close to Shanghai, and is the former residence of major national (Shanghai) leaders, one of the first batch of historical and cultural towns in China, and a national AAAAA-level scenic spot, Xitang was more famous than Wuzhen ten years ago; When Wuzhen Dongzha was first established many years ago, the ancient town had far fewer tourists than Xitang, except for the ancient scenery, simple folk customs, and Mao Dun's former residence in Xizha. Even the shops around Wuzhen Dongzha were mostly Empty.

As time goes by, Xitang Ancient Town can be said to be stagnant because of the town’s needs. Even the official website of Xitang Scenic Area is in an embarrassing situation. Wuzhen, which is also an ancient town, has a group of leadership teams with long-term vision and high vision. In more than ten years, it has kept pace with the times and built Wuzhen into a traditional Wuzhen, a resort Wuzhen, a cultural Wuzhen, and an exhibition Wuzhen. It not only has the official website of Wuzhen Scenic Area Links, using the Internet to promote the progress and changes of the ancient town, as well as information on various activities, and established my country's only Wuzhen Internet International, covering an area of ??203 acres, a building area of ??40,000 square meters, and a building area of ??81,000 square meters. The Convention and Exhibition Center also holds various international, domestic, and online cultural, artistic, and competitive activities, especially the World Internet Conference held in Wuzhen every year (the 2019 World Internet Conference sponsored by the State Internet Information Office and the Zhejiang Provincial People's Government in October 2019). The Sixth World Internet Conference "World Internet Leading Scientific and Technological Achievements Release Event" was successfully held at the Wuzhen Internet International Convention and Exhibition Center (web link), which greatly increased Wuzhen's popularity.
