The scenery here is picturesque, and every ancient bridge is spread by old vines, engraved with thousands of years of flowing light and shade, especially“ Shuangqiao ”Most prestigious.

There are many ancient residential buildings and historical sites in Zhouzhuang Ancient Town, among which there are several famous ones Zhang Ting Shen Ting And full of mystery Shen Wansan's Underwater Tomb Legend has it that it is Shen Wansan's tomb of clothing and crown. Shen Ting was built by the descendants of Shen Wansan and is a well preserved Qing Dynasty residential building in Zhouzhuang. Its structure is exquisite, and you can visit and experience the life of the wealthy people in Jiangnan, as well as touch the legendary ones“ Cornucopia ”Staying in wealth. The original name of Zhangting was Yishuntang, built in the earlier Ming Dynasty. During the Qing Dynasty, it was transferred to a family with the surname Zhang and named Zhangting. It is a typical Ming Dynasty official residence.

Fu'an Bridge According to legend, it was Shen Wansan's younger brother who invested in the reconstruction. Feeling that his brother was wealthy and wealthy, he ended up being exiled to a foreign land, so he renamed the bridge "Fu'an". Fu'an Bridge is the only remaining bridge and building combination building in the water town of Jiangnan. There are four bridge towers at the four corners of the bridge, which also embodies the wisdom of our ancestors and fully utilizes space. It is both a scenery and a commercial shop. The bridge deck is high above the water surface, and standing on the bridge, one can enjoy a leisurely journey. "Bridge Tower Chord Singing" is one of the eight scenic spots in Zhouzhuang.

Listening to Kunqu Opera on Ancient Stage

Go to Zhouzhuang and experience the water town scenery, in addition to enjoying the scenery, The most worthwhile experience is also Go to the ancient theater to listen to Kunqu opera, with a set of performances. There are benches below the stage, and you can watch as you go. The classic excerpts of Kunqu opera are performed, with "The Peony Pavilion" being the most representative.

Zhouzhuang Museum

Upon returning to the ancient town, it was discovered that the museum inside has been upgraded again, mainly showcasing the historical changes and folk customs of Zhouzhuang Ancient Town. The upgraded museum provides visitors with more vivid audio-visual images, and some peripheral cultural and creative products of Zhouzhuang can also be purchased in the museum.

Sanmao Tea House

Drinking tea, in fact, many tea houses in Zhouzhuang are quite elegant, and some even have small stages where you can listen to Kunqu opera and Pingtan; The representative teahouse "Sanmao Tea House" is a memorial building specifically designed to commemorate the Taiwanese female writer Sanmao's visit to Zhouzhuang. Sanmao came to Zhouzhuang on April 13, 1989. As soon as he arrived, he was so excited and cried when he saw such a beautiful scenery. Sanmao hugged Zhouzhuang's antique tiled house, as if holding his long lost grandmother. Muttering to himself, "I'm late!" Later, Sanmao left Zhouzhuang crying and said, "I'll come again, I'll definitely come."

Mr. Zhang Jihan, the current owner of the tea house, worked at the Zhouzhuang Cultural Station and learned about this matter. They began to pursue the footprints left by Sanmao in Zhouzhuang, capturing beautiful and captivating scenes. He wrote an essay called "Sanmao in Zhouzhuang" and subsequently published it in the Yangcheng Evening News and Hong Kong's "China Tourism". Later, these articles reached Sanmao's hands, and he had a letter exchange with Mr. Zhang Jihan, becoming an unforgettable friend! Now the children of the elderly family have all grown up and developed abroad, and his husband and wife are guarding this teahouse because they are reluctant to leave. He opened the teahouse not to make money, but to promote the style of a celebrity in Zhouzhuang. Mr. Zhang once said: This small tea house is an essay that I will always write. The length of this essay is very long, and I want to open a tea house to collect people's voices of nostalgia and accumulate more life materials.

In fact, I think I have also followed Sanmao's emotions before, but like Mr. Zhang's white hair, memories have been lost for a long time... The tea house is still the same as before, filled with Sanmao's books, letters, photos, and the blue and white porcelain cups on the table have never changed colors. The most famous one in Zhouzhuang Apocha It is not a variety of tea, but a form of drinking tea - tea and small Dim sum. The people of Zhouzhuang love to drink this kind of tea the most, and the way they eat tea is very particular. The older the tea set, the better. To boil water, use pottery and clay jars, use bamboo branches as fuel, and to brew tea, first light the tea head. After a few minutes, use boiling water to brew it, which can make the tea color, aroma, and flavor strong.
