The Jiangnan water town may be a dream for northerners, like a dream; for southerners, it may be like home, a place with moist and fresh air.

I came to Zhouzhuang again. It seemed that I hadn't been here for a long time. I couldn't remember the streets and alleys, but I vaguely remembered the appearance of the boat swaying in the river, and I still remembered the fireworks of getting up early in the morning.

Transportation tips:

From Shanghai to Zhouzhuang, it is recommended to get off at Suzhou Station on the high-speed train. There is a commercial bus that runs directly to the scenic spot in the North Square. One train can only accommodate 6 people. Therefore, during holidays, it is better to make an appointment online, and you can also book it on the return journey.

Of course, driving to Zhouzhuang by yourself is a good idea.

Business Hours:

Starting from April 1, the opening hours of Zhouzhuang Ancient Town Scenic Area will be adjusted to 7:30-21:00

DAY1：

Shanghai-Zhouzhuang-Carton King-Zhouzhuang Museum-Zhangting-Shenting-12th Square of Zhenfeng Street-Shenting Hotel-Night view of Huaxiang Rain Lane

It actually takes less than two hours to get from Shanghai to Zhouzhuang. The ancient town of Jiangnan water town has always been my favorite place. No matter how many times I go, I will never get tired of it.

It was already noon when we arrived in Zhouzhuang, so of course we had to check in first and then have lunch.

Stay at Carton King Latte Playing Stone Art Inn.

There is a small train in the inn that you can ride around from indoors to outdoors, and even directly through the restaurant. There are also many creative handicrafts, super interesting places that children and adults will like.

The outdoors is very suitable for taking photos and checking in, with all kinds of lovely furnishings.

Everything here is very environmentally friendly, made of cartons, including chairs in the restaurant.

The restaurant is more Taiwanese, with paper hot pot. In fact, I still like this natural-style place.

You can choose your own pot of sand tea, spicy tea, etc., and you can eat it for a single person. You can also have afternoon tea outdoors.

If you want to talk about Zhouzhuang, you must talk about Chen Yifei.

In 1983, the famous painter Chen Yifei's painting "Double Bridges" made the world know Zhouzhuang, and Zhouzhuang became the first ancient water town to be popular across the country.

Zhouzhuang Museum-Zhang Hall-Shen Hall are places where you can connect and play together.

The Zhouzhuang Museum was originally a residence of a family named Yi Zhu in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. The museum mainly displays folk daily necessities, farm tools, etc.

Zhangting is one of the few remaining Ming Dynasty buildings in Zhouzhuang Town.

Yuyan Hall, commonly known as Zhang Hall. There are seven entrances to the front and back of the Zhang Hall, with more than 70 houses, covering an area of more than 1800 square meters, decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, and it is resplendent.

Then there was a garden. In the old days, people were at their peak.

It is said that this small lake in the garden leads directly to the outside. If you have something to do at home, you can just take a boat and get it done. It's a great idea.

Shen Hall is relatively more famous. Speaking of Shen Wansan's cornucopia, everyone knows it.

It is the most representative of Zhouzhuang's old buildings and a national-level key cultural relic protection unit.

The Shen Hall consists of three parts. The front part is the water wall gate and the river port, which are specially used for family members to dock boats and wash clothes. They are unique buildings in the Jiangnan water town; the middle part is the wall gate building, tea hall, and main hall, which are places to pick up and pick up guests, handle weddings, funerals and discussions; The rear part is the lobby building, small hall building and back hall house, which are places for living and living. The entire hall is a typical "front hall and back hall" architectural pattern. The front and rear buildings are connected by street crossing buildings and corridor pavilions, forming a circular Zouma Building, which is rare in similar buildings.

There are also pebbles and other paved decorations on the ground, such as bats, which means that bats arrive.

Now, if you go to the Zouma Building, you need to pay an extra fee, but relatively speaking, there are relatively few people.

There are embroidery rooms, piano rooms and other furnishings upstairs. The beds are beautifully carved and are a treasure of inheritance.

This place is very suitable for portraits, so I came here to take a set of portraits wearing Han costumes.

You can also take pictures downstairs,

The streets of Zhouzhuang are of course excellent for a casual stroll.

There are many ancient bridges here, Fu 'an Bridge, Grandma Bridge, Shuangqiao, etc. The best shooting spot is Shuangqiao.

Twelve Square on Zhenfeng Street is also an interesting place, including the mystery building, Sanmao Tea House, stove rhyme agarwood, cat sky, etc., ancient buildings, a holy place for cultural and youth gatherings, and a place for meditation and recuperation.

You can also hold Pingtan and have afternoon tea in Jubin Building.

Make your schedule in Zhouzhuang full.

There are many photos and information about Sanmao in Sanmao Tea House, full of a sense of time. I wonder if the girl in the Sahara Desert is doing well on the other side?

There are quite a lot of historical materials in the mystery building.

You can drink afternoon tea in Jubin Building, sit at the window, watch the boat sway by, or listen to Pingtan. There are many qupai songs that you need to order and listen to whatever you like, such as Du Shiniang's angry sinking treasure chest. I still like it. Suzhou dialect is very good, gentle as drizzle.

You can experience the fragrance and make sachet.

I tried both, and the fragrance way can create my own unique fragrance. The cigarette curled and the silk of love is long.

The sachet, like a small purse, can be tied to one's belt and stuffed with one's favorite spices, such as lavender and rosemary.

If you want to read, you can go to Maokong, and you can also mail postcards there.

In fact, it's quite tiring to walk around. Dinner can be settled at the old hotel here, Shenting Hotel.

The value for money is still very high, so Wansanti must give it a try.

Knife bones are specially reserved on the hooves to cut meat. It is a very convenient and interesting idea.

The meat is tender and not greasy, especially the skin. It is super delicious. Add collagen.

After eating, take a walk and see the night view of Hua Lane and Yu Lane is excellent.

You can project there, with a curtain of flowers. If you walk through it, the flowers will fall on you and your heart.

There are also many kinds of cute projections that will appear on the wall.

There will also be various lanterns for everyone to enjoy. Zhouzhuang at night is quiet but gorgeous.

Stay in Zhouzhuang at night, get up in the morning and feel the fireworks here.

DAY2 Zhenwei Jiangnan Breakfast-Hanfu Ancient Town Water Alley Tour-Quangonglou Fashion Restaurant-Xiangcun Qizhuang-Picnic Party

Zhouzhuang is very peaceful in the early morning, stopping and stopping.

Zhenwei Jiangnan's breakfast is really amazing. Look at the boats coming and going, eat a wine-brewed rice dumplings, a bowl of large wontons, and a crab meal soup dumplings, and I am satisfied.

Today, I went on a cruise ship and had a tour in the ancient town's water alleys. The boatwoman sang very moving.

It's different from walking on the shore and looking at the lake. Walking through the bridge hole seems to be even more sad as the passage of time.

Wearing Han clothes and taking photos, the morning passed quickly.

At noon, you can go to the fashionable restaurant in Quangonglou for dinner, which is more Hong Kong-style but has water town characteristics.

River shrimp, pig's trotters and other things are very delicious.

In the afternoon, we will go to Qizhuang in Xiangcun and drive for about 20 minutes. It is still very close.

Living in Shishixiu B & B, the B & B has different styles, but the decoration is unique, quite ancient and design. Some were the houses of the richest man in the village back then.

The B & B that my friends and I stayed in has 2 floors, 3 rooms, a standard room downstairs, a living room and a restaurant, and 2 rooms and a balcony upstairs with a bathtub. It is actually very suitable for several families to come and stay in one house.

It is now the season when rapeseed flowers bloom, followed by tulips, etc., which have different scenery all year round.

Isn't it a good idea to hold a picnic in a rapeseed field?

You can also draw the village in your heart on the side.

You can also have a little picnic in front of the RV.

In the evening, you can let the chefs here cook and eat directly in the B & B restaurant, which is also a specialty here.

Scrambled eggs with Chinese toon, bamboo shoots, and braised pork are all super delicious and fresh, but you have to order them in advance.

DAY3 Breakfast in Hefengli-Handmade cakes-Dyeing, Grinding tofu-Lunch in Hefengli-Return journey

Breakfast is right next to Hefeng. It is a regular meal and very clean.

I also visited other B & Bs in the village, which were all very distinctive, and some corridors were very distinctive.

There are also various rivers and forests in the village where you can take photos. I envy the villagers here.

The hand-made experience is very suitable for bringing children to play, or it is also okay for a young couple.

Putting up cakes is actually making dumplings.

Dipping and dyeing is to select the flowers you like, beat them with a hammer, and dye the flower juice on the environmentally friendly bag to form a unique imprint that belongs to you.

Grinding tofu is a technical job, and the speed is not high or low. It must be uniform, and the water must be drained well.

Lunch was also in Hefeng, the farm food was still so delicious, and the small miscellaneous fish were delicious.

Enjoy 3 days and 2 nights and have a different time in Zhouzhuang.
