20 Years After "Eternal Moment" Was Filmed Here, I Found the Most Healing Corner of Wuzhen

📍 Basic Info - Location: Tongxiang City, Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province - Highlights: Permanent venue of World Internet Conference / China's last water town with pillow-water dwellings - Best seasons: March-May (misty spring rain) / September-November (crisp autumn air) - Recommended duration: 2 days 1 night (stay INSIDE the scenic area!) --- 🚗 Transportation Guide ▸ High-speed rail: - Get off at Tongxiang Station → Take bus K282 direct (1h/¥5) or taxi (40min/¥80) ▸ Self-drive: - About 1.5h from Hangzhou/Shanghai, scenic area parking ¥20/day ❗️ Pro tips: - Avoid unlicensed taxis! Scenic area shuttle is most cost-effective - Free sightseeing car for in-scenic-area guests --- 🏡 Accommodation Recs (Tested!) ✅ Why stay inside: - Free morning tea experience / Private water town at dawn / Unlimited night view photography - 20% off tickets + Unlimited re-entry 🏮 Budget-friendly options: 1. Tong'an Inn (¥200+/person, converted Ming-Qing architecture) 2. Zhaoming Book Club (Student favorite, literary-themed rooms) 3. Waterside Resort (Premium option with boat views) --- 📸 Must-Visit Spots (With Photo Tips) ▸ West Scenic Area: 1. Mu Xin Art Museum (Closed Mondays! Minimalist style = great photos) 2. Wuzhen Grand Theater (Stunning night lights) 3. Indigo Dye Workshop (Iconic blue calico backdrop) 4. Water Market (Authentic morning tea at 7am) ▸ East Scenic Area Gems: - Shadow Puppet Theater (Free shows) - Mao Dun's Former Residence (Must for literature fans) 🌙 Night Must-Dos: - Night boat ride (¥60/person, best after 18:00) - Send postcards at Old Post Office (With Wuzhen souvenir stamp) --- 🍜 Food Guide: Hits & Misses 🔥 Must-try: - Dingsheng cake (¥3 inside scenic area) - Scholar's Lamb Noodles (Jack Ma's favorite!) - Radish cake (West area's hottest snack) - Gusao cakes (Best souvenir) 💣 Avoid: - "Wuzhen specialty" restaurants outside scenic area - Buy marinated duck ONLY at "San Zhen Zhai" century-old shop --- 💰 Money-Saving Tips 1. Tickets🎫: ¥80 discount for in-scenic-area guests (Original ¥150) 2. Boat rides: Share boats (8 people/boat) 3. Food: Free morning tea (Guests only) 4.

AM: East area shadow puppets → Mao Dun's Residence PM: South Lane handicraft shopping --- ⚠️ Hard-Earned Lessons 1. NO high heels! Cobblestone streets are brutal 2. Rain enhances beauty! But bring waterproof shoe covers 3. Weekends = Crowds! Visit on weekdays if possible 4. Bring power banks! You'll photograph nonstop 💡 Hidden Experiences - Try indigo dyeing: Make your own scarf (¥60) - Dawn photo secret: Rush to Fengyuan Twin Bridges at 6:30 - Free activity: Pingtan performance (West area theater) ✨ Final Tip: Wuzhen's charm lies in "staying to savor slowly."
