Wuzhen Water Town Tour from Shanghai

Our professional guide will wait for you at the hotel lobby in the morning about 9:00am. We will set out on this one day private Wuzhen tour from Shanghai, via a two-hour drive. Wuzhen is one of China’s ancient water towns, where waterways thread their way through the flagstone streets and alleys. Wuzhen in North Zhejiang Province, is a 45 minute bus ride away from Hangzhou East Bus Station. Wuzhen Water Town is divided into East and west zone.

Dong Zha(the East Sector) is basically one waterway, about 400 meters long sandwiched between two streets of original Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) houses. The street on the entrance side has souvenir shops and restaurants and the street on the far side has various museums exhibiting beds, clothes, blue flower printed fabric, etc.

Xi Zha(the West Sector of Wuzhen) a much better experience than that of Dong Zha, and most non-Chinese visitors will find Dong Zha interesting, but Xi Zha positively charming.Xi Zha has been rebuilt and renovated in the original style (it is still being constructed (August 2009) in the western corner, with many charming architectural features: colonnades, small bridges, balconies, piers, wooden windows and doors, and gray stone walls and paving.

Last, we will transfer you back to the hotel in downtown Shanghai to end this one day tour.
