Water Towns of Wuzhen Day Trip from Shanghai
This day trip explores the water towns of Wuzhen, including Xizha and Dongzha, ideal for cultural and scenic sightseeing near Shanghai.
Description
Begin with hotel pickup in Shanghai, then travel to Wuzhen, divided into the areas of Dongzha and Xizha. Xizha features renovated streets lined with cafes and bars, offering an artistic atmosphere without the busy market feel found in Dongzha.
Take a gondola ride at night through Xizha to see lantern-lit canals and traditional architecture. The West Market River runs east to west here, with numerous canals creating small islands connected by ancient stone bridges, showcasing Jiangnan water town character. Alongside the waterways, explore shops, cafes, and bars for a leisurely stroll.
Dongzha served as the filming location for the TV series 'Days of Being Wild.' This area retains more local residents, providing a livelier and more authentic ambiance.
