Tell me about this trip

The gentleness of the Jiangnan water town is always dreamy, because I have been at home for too long. Since the quarantine was lifted, I like to go to Zhouzhuang for a few days when I have nothing to do. Under the influence of the epidemic, Zhouzhuang has fewer tourists than before, and it is extremely quiet. It seems that I have returned to the lovely Xiaoshui Township that used to be. I would stroll around the ancient town casually when I had nothing to do. Sometimes I would take pictures with my camera. When I was too lazy to carry the camera, I would take pictures with my mobile phone. So this time, the photos in my travel notes, The watermarked photos were taken with mobile phones.

This travel note does not follow the order of the regular itinerary, checking in one point at a time. Instead, it compiles some beautiful photos taken recently and divides them into several different themes and gameplay methods to share with everyone. There are also many useful strategies. Take advantage of the rare tranquility now, hurry to Zhouzhuang and get excited.

The grass grows and the orioles fly, and the flowers bloom in the warm spring. The most beautiful thing in the world is Jiangnan. The beauty of Jiangnan is in spring, the tenderness of spring is in the water town. Powder walls, black tiles, small bridges, flowing water, people... all are unique to the Jiangnan water town. The spring in the water town is gentle, elegant, soft, sweet and dreamy...

Bai Juyi, who returned home, was obsessed with Jiangnan."In spring, the river is as green as blue. How can I not remember Jiangnan?" Wang Anshi, who is a guest, often looks out at the south of the Yangtze River."The spring breeze is green on the south bank. When will the bright moon shine on me?" No matter how many places you have traveled and how many scenery you have seen, spring in Jiangnan is always unforgettable.

Zhouzhuang, which is formed by the water, is surrounded by rivers on all sides, and is connected by bridges and streets. It is a water town in a dream. Without Zhouzhuang, there is no water town. In spring, I want to go to Zhouzhuang!

The green waters are swaying, the willows are green, and the oars are squeaking. Crossing bridges and holes is like swaying in watercolor paintings. The spring light of Zhouzhuang, a water town, rippling in the blue waves! Zhouzhuang, one of the six ancient towns in the Jiangnan water town, was referred to as a jade jade by Mr. Ruan Yisan, which must be the current Zhouzhuang.

Zhouzhuang is a watercolor one after another! The weeping willows on both sides of the Nanbei River and Hougang Street have drawn out tender green branches, birds sing on the branches, hand-cranked boats pass through the willows, and the water town tune of "Everyone Says Zhouzhuang is Good" rippling on the water waves.

Jasper is made up to the height of a tree, and thousands of green silk ribbons hang down. Zhouzhuang, the water town of spring, is no longer just gray and black ink, but has become a beautiful and refined watercolor painting.

Zhouzhuang is a tender oar after oar. The road of the water town is paved with clouds. When entering the village and leaving the village, the river flows slowly, and the boat rocks slowly until it reaches Grandma Bridge. Grandma said I am a good baby, and I said Grandma Silkworm Baby... Come to Zhouzhuang, the water town, take a cruise ship and experience the feeling of swimming in the water. Zhouzhuang has four different cruise routes, with different routes and different styles. Now due to the impact of the epidemic, only two tours have been opened for the time being: the ancient town water alley tour and the god of wealth residence water tour.

In the poet's writing, the road in Zhouzhuang is paved with water and dense clouds. Water alleys, small bridges, and clear water boats are like a light-colored rice paper painting under the faint fog of the morning. In spring, Zhouzhuang is an exquisite little jasper, with crisscross rivers. Only two hand-cranked boats can cross each other, with slender and soft jade arms like a girl's snow lotus root.

Falling in love with a city often begins at night. Jiangnan is a dream, a gentle and lingering dream swaying in the waning night. Spring boats carry beautiful scenery, and Qiandeng Night Market is bustling. In the poet's writing, the night in the south of the Yangtze River has become a city increasingly prosperous since the Tang and Song Dynasties, blooming in the ripples of clear water.

The lights are bright like day, and the sound of the city is blowing from ten miles away. A series of tourist routes for night tours in Suzhou are in full swing. With the theme of "8:30 in Suzhou", Suzhou is becoming a city that never sleeps in the south of the Yangtze River, and Zhouzhuang, the water town, is a peach blossom garden in this city that never sleeps. The night in Zhouzhuang is quiet and gentle, with dimly lit lights!

The sound of oars and lights, and the water town becomes more and more charming at night. The rare tranquility suddenly brings Zhouzhuang back to its original appearance in the Jiangnan water town. Those who are truly fascinated by Jiangnan quietly sneak into Zhouzhuang and lose themselves in Zhouzhuang's quiet and gentle night!

I recommend you to check in some of the most classic flights in Zhouzhuang. There are scenery, performances, people like to check in, and night markets. You can follow the map and try to check in.

01 Night Moon·Shadow of Cloud Sea Tower

Zhouzhuang at night is the white moonlight reflected on the Baixian River. Zhouzhuang is surrounded by water on all sides and is isolated from the secular world. In the past, it could only be reached by boats. Even now, only an antique Zhouzhuang Bridge can lead to the ancient town. The Yunhai Tower on the bank of the Jishui Port stands tall next to the Zhouzhuang Bridge and is the only commanding height in the ancient town.

As night falls and the lights begin to come on, the Yunhai Tower in the night is put on gorgeous lamp shirts, casting beautiful figures in the clear water. It sits on the waterside platform of the Xingkong Bar in Taiwan's Old Street Water Town, bathing in the bright white moonlight. Looking at the brightly lit Yunhai Tower, the shuttling boats let out low whistles.

02 Night Moon·South Lake Autumn Moon
At night, Zhouzhuang is the lake breeze blowing over the Quanfu Bridge. If you take a pleasure boat from the Jishuigang Wharf and enter Zhouzhuang Ancient Town, you can surround the ancient town. The last place you get off the boat and ashore is Nanhu Bay. Looking from afar, the slender Quanfu Bridge lies across the lake like a rainbow, with pavilions, green trees and willows covering the shore.

In the night, the lake breeze is blowing, the willow branches are swaying dexterous, and walking arm in arm on the water-friendly plank road is refreshing!

Music quietly sounded, light and shadow flashed, and the upper bunk of Nanhu Bay unfolded one after another of quiet, simple and romantic life, and the light and shadow show in Nanhu Bay began.

Night Zhouzhuang is an oil painting with strong nostalgia. It removes the hustle and bustle of the day. The ancient town in the night has a scene step by step, and the scenery is integrated into the painting.

04 Night Painting·Illustrated Wall Phantom
At night, Zhouzhuang is the rotation of the four seasons among the powder walls and black tiles. The ancient town Zhaobi by the Qinglong Bridge is carved with a panoramic view of Zhouzhuang Ancient Town. At night, behind the Qinglong Zhaobi is hidden. The mottled powder walls reflect the beautiful scenery of Zhouzhuang in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and every one is extremely beautiful.

The girl from the water town, holding an oil-paper umbrella and wearing water sleeves, danced with her graceful figure and intertwined with the characters in the picture in the light and shadow. It was both real and illusory, making it difficult to distinguish between real and false.

The opposite wall displays the customs of weddings in the water town. The music shows the full ceremony of weddings in the water town. The red lighting curtains in the Zhang hall reproduce the lively scene of wedding customs in the water town.

The newlyweds in Xiuhe costumes raised the red hijab on their heads, and their faces were filled with happiness.

08 Night Xi·Qianshou Lane

At night Zhouzhuang, ten fingers are intertwined as witnesses wearing bamboo and stone railings. The river next to the bamboo and stone railings is filled with blue-cloth hand-cranked boats.

09 Night Xi·Marriage Bridge

At night, Zhouzhuang is a sweet embrace by the moonlight bridge. It passes through the ancient alleys and narrow alleys in the ancient town. The deep part of Zhouzhuang is extremely quiet. The Fuhong Bridge stands in front of you. The red bridge holes and the reflection of clear water are intertwined to form a complete circle. The bright moon is in the sky. I wonder how many sweet passionate hugs this marriage bridge has witnessed.

10 Nights Fishing·Xianjiang Fishing Singing

Night Zhouzhuang is a hymn to the life of fishermen on the water. There is a kind of life called Zhouzhuang, and there is also a kind of fisherman's life called Zhouzhuang.

Night Zhouzhuang is bustling with fireworks in the world. The lively and noisy crowds come and go on the Yanyu Promenade. Rows of tables and chairs are set up next to the river. The river is fresh and fragrant, and shops are intertwined, full of the atmosphere of fireworks in the world.

Three or five friends were drinking, and occasionally an grandma from the water town sang a cappella tune. The water vapor permeating the river flowed upwards and sometimes reached the soles of your feet, like a fairyland, enjoying the night view on both sides of the river bank comfortably.

12 Night Fishing·Refuge Fishing

At night, Zhouzhuang is the dim lights of fishing boats returning late. Through the hazy Tongxiu Bridge, the fishing boats parked and lined up on the bank.

15 Night Zen·Ancient Temple Zen Sound

At night Zhouzhuang, it is a quiet Zen sound of the bell, the beautiful scenery of South Lake, the sound of Buddhist rhymes, and the Zen sound is long. The thousand-year-old temple is hidden in the quiet and hazy night sky. My thoughts couldn't help but drift away, and my heart suddenly felt Zen. The girl from the water town put a river lantern by the river. The lantern was like a galaxy that followed the waves, shining brightly.

16 Night Zen·Qin Seeking Friends

At night, Zhouzhuang is a deep and long piano music. In the Nanhu Guqin Society at night, the music of the piano is melodious, sometimes as thick and grand as a bronze bell; sometimes as transparent as beads, like the sound of gold and stone, sometimes as crisp, like a bell in the wind, tasting tea and burning incense, beating the zither and playing the piano, looking for a friend, telling the exquisite Zhouzhuang of "moving sound".

17 Night Parking·Quiet West Bay

Night Zhouzhuang is a quiet and warm dream. The warm lights are intertwined with the bright white moonlight. Deep in the water alley is the night harbor for late returning fishing boats. The western bay is quiet and dreamt, filled with water vapor, and countless poets yearn for Jiangnan dream.

In the south of the Yangtze River, there is spring in willow trees, the sun is warm and the earth is clean, the clear sand chirps the swallow, and the fragrant trees intoxicate tourists. Spring in Zhouzhuang is not only the lush willows, but also the flower trees encountered at the corners of the deep alleys.

The alleys are deep and quiet, as if they had accidentally broken into a wonderful time machine. The ancient houses on both sides of the strait have white walls and black tiles, and are covered with mottled traces of time...

In the ancient Zhang Hall, the magnolia flowers in front of the Yuyan Hall are in bloom, white as snow. I wonder if the old Yuyan has returned? The bauhinia flowers draw out purple-red money strings and hide among the pink walls and black tiles on Nanbei City Street, looking very shy as a young girl! The hanging silk crabapple in the courtyard of Yifei Home blooms with a prosperous red color.

I casually walked through the alleys hidden in the ancient town and accidentally lost my way. The narrow alleys that only allow one person to pass sideways, and the flower alleys where all kinds of flowers compete to bloom.

Alley: Getting lost is because you come to see flowers

Hanshou Lane with bamboo and stone railings

Adjacent to the pastoral scenery of the Jiangnan water town, with green willows and lush red cherries, a touch of bright yellow, a garden of peach blossoms, and a pear tree white. It is the most gorgeous spring color in the water town countryside! It is advisable to go on spring, enjoy flowers, and live up to every good spring light in life.

Zhouzhuang·Xiangcun in spring is patches of golden yellow. The day when Sanmao came to Zhouzhuang was the golden season of rapeseed flowers. The wind in the garden and the green peach leaves were blown, and the spring dew in the ridge was yellow. Xiangcun adjacent to Zhouzhuang, the fields and countryside were full of golden rapeseed flowers, like a palette of yellow paint, and the great spring light poured out in front of you.

The golden sea of rapeseed flowers brightens the entire Xiangcun Qizhuang. When I walked into Xiangcun, I discovered that there were so many layers of yellow, golden yellow, goose yellow, orange yellow, light yellow... This must be colorful yellow.

There are flocks of chickens and ducks, angry birds, and cute frogs. The fields are full of childlike fun. This is a playground for children, running freely on the ridges of the fields and playing in the flowers.

Zhouzhuang·Xiangcun in spring is a colorful fragrance. Next to the pastoral countryside and secluded valley, the garden is full of tulips in spring; as soon as you walk into Qizhuang of Xiangcun, you will see tulips coming in your eyes, contrasting with the golden cauliflower. Interesting, pieces, clusters, like wearing colorful neon clothes, rippling in the wind in the sunshine of Xiangcun.

Tulips with silk sleeves, dragging snow and clouds to keep guests drunk, and accompanied by the madness of spring. The sea of tulips in Xiangcun is not only large in area, but also extremely rich in colors. Red, purple, brown, yellow, orange, white, pink, black, skin color, the sea of tulips intertwined with more than ten colors blooms in an intertwined manner. The blooming tulips are like jade bowls, wine cups, lilies, parrots, and tassels...

I think that what can "make the owner intoxicated and not know where he is from" is not only the fine wine of Lanling's tulips, but also the sea of tulips and Wansan fine wine of Xiangcun Qizhuang can make people intoxicated and not know where they go.

In spring, Zhouzhuang·Xiangcun is full of flowers blooming one tree after another, with peach blossoms shining brightly. The peach blossoms in Xiangcun Peach Garden are in full bloom, with dark or light colors. Under the cover of rapeseed flowers, they look like a beautiful girl. The light makeup on the face of a suitable shade makes people feel relaxed and relaxed.

Peach blossoms bloom before the flowers in the warming spring breeze. Who can resist looking at the bright and beautiful colors? The aunts are busy artificially pollinating in the peach forest. Don't delay the good spring light. Wait until autumn will be a joyful harvest.

Children who don't have to go to school just play with them in the peach forest. Ducks in the distant pond paddle on the blue waves, reminding people of their beautiful childhood.

In order to avoid the chaos of Qin Dynasty, Taoyuan people found a good place for men to farm and women to weave. However, they had no calendar records. Only when they saw peach blossoms in full bloom did they know that the new year had arrived. Xiangcun Qizhuang in the spring breeze is also like a peach blossom garden far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The fragrance of flowers fills the nostrils, and the butterflies fly and bees dance, finding a paradise to avoid the "Qin". The peach blossoms are spring again.

Now is the windmill season in Qizhuang, Xiangcun. The wheat fields are lush. Ride a lovely bicycle and ride freely in the fresh air, or do a hand-printing and dyeing, print the flowers in the countryside into handkerchiefs, and take them home for collection.

Awakening the taste buds that have been sleeping in this winter, because in this very different winter, it is time to release the taste buds that have been dormant for two months. In Zhouzhuang, the water town in spring, there are fragrant wild vegetables, sweet glutinous Jiangnan cake balls, and plump Jiangxian Family Banquet reopened the memories on the tip of the tongue.

Zhouzhuang in spring has the fragrance of wild vegetables one by one. In the Jiangnan water town where treasures are beautiful, spring is the most abundant variety of wild vegetables. Wild vegetables have been growing for a whole winter, shaking their heads in the spring breeze, as if to shout at the tourists: "If you don't come now, I will be 'old'."

Wild vegetable wontons, wild vegetable rice porridge, pickled apo vegetables, stir-fried Malan head, distillers 'lees and golden vegetables... Under the dexterous hands of the cook, these wild vegetables can always turn into various delicious delicacies. In Zhouzhuang, the water town, even if you only use wild vegetables as a tooth sacrifice, you can be satisfied.

Zhouzhuang in spring is a sweet cake. The cake is gentle and sweet. At the entrance, it is soft, sweet and glutinous, and crispy to the bones. The cake cakes in the water town also pay attention to not eating from time to time. Only the most seasonal raw materials can we make the most soulful food.

In spring, cakes are indispensable for green dumplings, bean paste stuffing or lotus paste, which is neither sweet nor greasy, with a light but long aroma of grass; before and after the Qingming Festival, there are also wine-brewed cakes, which are divided into meat and vegetarian, sweet, fat, soft and tough, with flavors such as rose, bean paste, mint, etc.

The dry cauliflower cake made from dried cauliflower tops is soft, sweet but not greasy. The fragrance of wild vegetables is mixed with the sweetness of bean paste. It is a delicacy that can only be eaten in spring.

Zhouzhuang in spring is full of family banquets with fresh river meat, relying on water. Spring is the fattest season for fresh river meat. White clams, whitebait and perch are the three treasures of fresh river meat; sweet and fragrant yellow cauliflower in the wild, and a product of pond snakefish in spring. It is the time to taste the cauliflower pond snakefish, or to make a plate of pond snakefish stewed eggs, which is the children's favorite; beating goose Qingming snail is also a favorite for many food eaters.

Tianluo stuffed meat is a delicacy in the Wansan Family Banquet; when it comes to the Wansan Family Banquet, in addition to the well-known Wansanjiao, the three-flavored round chicken soup made of shrimp meat, pork leg meat, and chicken breast meat is a beauty that awakens the taste buds in spring. After a mouthful of fresh soup, the whole body, mind, stomach, and stomach become obedient.

Spring bamboo shoots that have been bred throughout the winter and bacon that has been sun-soaked are the best and most original ingredients in Xiangcun. The pickled and fresh food cooked is a big dish that leaves many eyebrows in the water town.

There are many options for accommodation in Zhouzhuang, and the price range is wide, from 100+ residential B & Bs to 1000+ luxury hotels. Based on the experience of these several stays, I especially recommend some ones that feel better for myself.
