Zhouzhuang is truly not just a photo trick! The soul of the Jiangnan water town is directly welded onto you

Who understands! Stepping into Zhouzhuang is like entering an ink painting—the bluestone roads shine with rain, the ripples on the water made by the oar strokes of the rowboats carry the sound of the oars, and even the air is filled with the aroma of Wansan pork trotters. This is exactly how Jiangnan should be! 🎫 Ticket Information ○ Day ticket 100 RMB, includes 15 core attractions such as Zhang Hall and Shen Hall, with unlimited entries within three days. Weekday tickets are half price, and seniors over 70 and children under 6 can enter for free. 🚗 Transportation Guide ○ High-speed rail: You can arrive at Kunshan South Station or Suzhou Industrial Park Station, then transfer to a bus or taxi to Zhouzhuang. ○ Self-driving: Navigate to "Zhouzhuang Ancient Town," and park at "Fuguiyuan Parking Lot" or "Dongzhuang Parking Lot." 🌟 Must-Visit Attractions - Shuangqiao (Double Bridges): Rush there before 7 a.m.! No tour groups crowding, sunlight slanting on the stone bridges, every photo is a keeper. Truly the "face" of Zhouzhuang~ - Shen Hall: Be sure to listen to the guide tell the story of Shen Wansan! Especially the legend of the "Treasure Basin." After touring, you can take ancient costume photos in the courtyard, with red walls and black tiles making for stunning shots. - Zhang Hall: "Boats passing through the house" is not just a gimmick! Seeing a rowboat glide past the living room with your own eyes will amaze you with the wisdom of the ancients. Quickly take out your phone to record a video. - Fu’an Bridge: A must-visit at night! When the lights come on, the shadow of the bridge tower reflects in the water, like stepping into a costume drama. Standing by the bridge to shoot night scenes will get tons of likes on social media! 🍱 Food Review | Pitfall Warnings & Must-Eat List - Wansan Pork Trotters: Really not greasy! Recommended is the freshly made version at Shen Hall Restaurant. The freshly cooked pork knuckle is bright red, and the meat falls off the bone with a poke of chopsticks. Perfect with rice—you’ll want two bowls. - Granny’s Tea: Just pick any small shop in the alleys! Granny will serve tea in a coarse pottery bowl, paired with freshly made sock-bottom pastries and green rice balls. Chat and rest your feet—this is the slow life. - Sanwei Yuan (Three Flavor Dumplings): Don’t buy from street vendors! Look for Wansan Restaurant. The soup dumplings have thin skin and full filling; biting into one releases a burst of soup. Remember to bite a small hole first to cool it down. 🎡 Immersive Experiences | Missing Out Means Missing the Point - Rowboat Night Tour: Highly recommended! 150 RMB per boat for up to 4 people, sharing a boat is super cost-effective~ The boatwoman rows while singing Jiangnan folk tunes, the light reflections flicker on the water, creating an amazing atmosphere—perfect for couples! - "Only This Zhouzhuang" Show: Half price for high-speed rail travelers is a great deal! 3D light and shadow combined with real scenes make you feel like you’ve traveled back to the Song Dynasty. The actors perform right beside you, making it very immersive. - Ancient Opera Stage Listening: Who doesn’t love free fun! Go at 2 p.m. to catch a Kunqu opera performance. The lilting singing combined with the carved beams and painted rafters of the ancient stage instantly calms your mind. 📌 Honest Tips - Don’t wear high heels! The stone roads are uneven and full of potholes. Flat shoes are the way to go for a full day of walking. - After 5 p.m., admission is free, but core attractions close. If you want to visit Shen Hall or Zhang Hall, go during the day. - Spring and autumn are the best times to visit! The weather is neither cold nor hot, and the flowers in the ancient town are blooming, making photos even better. Zhouzhuang is truly worth it! There’s no commercial hustle and bustle, only the gentleness and everyday life of the water town. After touring, you’ll just want to stay here and not leave~ Quickly invite your bestie or partner and come for a Jiangnan date~
