The Ultimate Nightlife Experience in a Water Town!

⛺🏨【Accommodation Guide】Where Watertown Dreams Begin Stay at Tong'an Inn, located at the eastern end of Xizha Scenic Area. The Ming and Qing-style architecture with white walls and black tiles lines the canals, offering views of willow trees brushing the water and traditional boats swaying. Rooms feature L'Occitane toiletries, blending antique furniture with modern amenities and ample heating. The two-story riverside suites are perfect for families. 🧡【Tips】: After the scenic area closes at night, Xizha returns to tranquility. Listen to the murmuring water through the window and wake up to birdsong in the morning, as if you have the ancient town all to yourself. Thoughtful service: The butler arranges luggage delivery in advance and provides detailed guidance on boat routes and breakfast reservations. The inn is just steps away from the boat dock, making late-night returns convenient. 🛬【Travel Guide】Xizha by Day and Night: A Poetic Dance of Light and Shadow Itinerary: Visitor Center → Wuzhen Grand Theatre → Mu Xin Art Museum → Indigo Dye Workshop → Three-Inch Golden Lotus Museum → Wuzhen Post Office → White Lotus Pagoda → Water Theater → Nvhong Street → Lingshui Residence → Water Market ⛺【Must-Visit Spots】 Daytime Strolls 1️⃣ Zhaoming Academy: Walk through vine-covered arched white walls to discover historical records of Wuzhen's scholars. Reading by the window, you’ll feel the lingering aura of literati from centuries past. 2️⃣ Mao Dun’s Legacy: From his memorial hall to the literary award exhibition, delve into the life of this literary giant and founding member of the Communist Party (joined in 1921), who, alongside Lu Xun, championed the New Culture Movement. 3️⃣ Mu Xin Art Museum** (additional 20 RMB ticket): Ponder the quote on the wall: "I don’t know what to forgive, but I feel everything in the world is forgivable." Even without understanding the art, the films invite reflection on life and creativity. Enchanting Nights 1️⃣ Watch indigo-dyed cloth flutter at dusk as lights glow beneath White Lotus Pagoda. Drift along Xishi River in a traditional boat, where oars ripple the golden reflections, and catch glimpses of lovers whispering by the water. 2️⃣ Skip the flashy bars and stumble upon an open-air film screening behind Zhaoming Academy. The clatter of the old projector instantly transports you back to childhood. 🍜 🍩【Must-Try Food】Become a "Morning Tea Guest": A Feast by the Water Reservations & Rules: 1️⃣ Tong'an Inn’s front desk helps book morning tea slots (7:00-9:00), with a 30 RMB credit per person (unlimited for some room types; no takeaway). Walk 10 minutes along cobblestone paths to the water market, where boats laden with produce arrive through the mist. Tastes of the Water Town: 2️⃣ Scan QR codes to order: Bite into crispy-yet-tender *youdunzi*, try soft osmanthus-sprinkled square cakes, and don’t miss the pork shaomai in rich bone broth! Sip tea from a humble stall while watching locals trade homegrown veggies from their boats—a scene of rustic charm bathed in dawn light.
