Speaking of ancient towns in China, the ancient towns in Jiangnan are the most desirable. When it comes to ancient towns in Jiangnan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the most famous and romantic. There is a romantic ancient town in Zhejiang, which is famous Wuzhen . Despite being passed down for thousands of years, Wuzhen's appearance remains unchanged. Pink walls and black tiles, houses by the water, rivers crisscrossing, and beautiful scenery. But next door to Wuzhen, the distance West Gate The scenic area is only 500 meters away, and there is also one Ahau .
Wucun is adjacent to it The Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou The village that was preserved in the 1960s and 1970s was upgraded by Wuzhen Tourism Group on the basis of preserving the original village, restoring the customs and culture of Jiangnan farmers. Above the bamboo shoots, amidst the water and trees, the autumn scenery of Jiangnan is like a pool of rippling blue waves, making one feel relaxed and happy.
Nowadays, Wucun has been transformed into a hotel with 186 guest rooms with different themes, located in residential areas such as Zhuwu, Jiuxiang, Micang, and Fisherman, each with its own unique features. The hotel lobby here is called the village committee, and each guest has a corresponding butler. This is called CCO, and you can contact him anytime if you need anything. Strolling through the pastoral scenery of Wu Village, amidst a bamboo forest, a few wild ducks, and a pond of lotus, the scenery is picturesque and the experience is beautiful, attracting countless tourists, especially parent-child families.
Upon arriving in Wucun, I felt like I had returned to my hometown, with a unique and elegant Jiangnan style residential area. Both the front and back of the house are filled with fruits, melons, and vegetables. Looking at houses from the 1970s outside, they have a sense of antiquity, and the roofs are also black tiles. But the room is definitely decorated in a modern way, but what brings back memories is the mosquito net at my grandmother's house when I was a child!
Behind the village is the World Heritage Site, the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou. What wakes you up in the morning is not an alarm clock, but the first bird song outside the window, when the first ray of sunlight falls. This is definitely a fairyland on earth. Push open the balcony door in the morning and immerse yourself in nature to the fullest.
