烟雨人家特色农家菜(周庄店)

When you come to Jiangnan, you must use Jiangnan ingredients and cooking methods to cook the local flavor. As the saying goes, "live by the mountain, eat the mountain; live by the sea, eat the sea." Jiangnan water towns have been a land of fish and rice since ancient times. They are close to the water and are rich in fresh fish, mud snails and wild vegetables. These seemingly ordinary ingredients are made into delicious dishes by the hands of masters.

The restaurant is only 10 meters from the scenic area entrance. The owner was incredibly welcoming and generous. Because we arrived before 5:00 AM, the first wave of customers that evening, the owner turned on the air conditioning to prevent us from getting too hot. The food was also very delicious. The pig's trotters were particularly good, and you could order more rice. At the end, they even gave us a serving of sock-bottom pastry and two round fans!

Came here on Saturday, luckily I called ahead to make an appointment, otherwise there would be a long queue. The taste is OK, there is also a Kunqu opera performance, the boss and the staff are very friendly ❤️!

Came here after reading the reviews, it's very good, the trotter pig's trotter is soft and sticky, the white fish is very tender, the boss is very enthusiastic, it happened to be my mother's birthday, the boss heard it and immediately sent a longevity noodle, and two fried eggs, the three of us ate it up, it was really touching, the fish was delicious, and when we paid the bill, they sent a snack of sock bottom crisps, my family all said that this place is a good choice 🤔🤔

Very delicious, very good taste, absolutely recommend this cost-effective and delicious restaurant.

Super delicious, especially the fried eel shreds, the taste is explosive

"Waterside villages are full of narrow alleys, and houses are nestled along the river." Taking the kids to Zhouzhuang is truly relaxing! The gurgling water flows around the whitewashed walls and black tiles, and the sound of oars accompanies the laughter of the children. Every photo you take is like a Jiangnan ink painting~ ## 🚗 Transportation Guide (No-hassle version with kids) 1⃣️ Driving/Rideshare: We departed from Hangzhou and reached the Zhouzhuang Ancient Town parking lot directly in 2.5 hours. It's super convenient with kids, no need to carry luggage or transfer. The parking lot is also close to the scenic area entrance, a 10-minute walk away. 2⃣️ Bus: If you prefer not to drive, you can take a bus to Zhouzhuang Bus Station. From there, take a taxi to the scenic area in 10 minutes. It's recommended to book your tickets in advance to avoid long lines with kids during peak season! ## 🏡 Accommodation Recommendation (Top-Rated Luxury + Near Scenic Spots) We chose the "Zhouzhuang Zhenfengxuan Resort Courtyard." Its Japanese Zen-themed ambiance is incredibly relaxing, and the rooms are clean and spacious, making it a comfortable stay with kids. ✅ Perfect Location: Super close to the entrance to Zhouzhuang, a 5-minute walk to the scenic area. It's also right next to the museum and the popular "Cat's Sky City" bookstore. It's super convenient to return to the hotel after a day of fun, and you can stay there after exploring the ancient town in the evening without having to walk too far. ✅ Thoughtful Details: The hotel offers cribs for reservation and can also order children's meals, making it easy to take children out. In the morning, I could see the flowing water from the small bridge when I opened the window. My child said it felt like she was in a painting! ## 🎫 Ticket Tips (Save Money and Hassle) 1⃣️ Adult tickets are 80 yuan, and one purchase grants multiple entry to the scenic area. This is super convenient for bringing kids back to the hotel for lunch or a nap, eliminating the need to buy separate tickets. 2⃣️ Entrance to the scenic area is free after 8:30 PM! If you want to avoid peak travel times, you can have dinner outside the ancient town in the evening and then take your kids into the scenic area after 8:30 PM to enjoy the night view. The water town is stunningly beautiful under the lights, and there are fewer people, so your kids won't be crowded. ## 🍱 Food Recommendations (Jiangnan Flavors That Even Kids Will Love) 1⃣️ Misty Rain Family Specialty Farmhouse Cuisine: The "Wansan Pork Hoof" is a must-try. It's braised to a sweet and glutinous texture, falling off the bone with just a sip. My kids absolutely loved it. We also ordered the stir-fried seasonal vegetables, which were fresh and refreshing. 2⃣️ Impression Town Restaurant: The "Bamboo Tube Beef Brisket" is incredibly fragrant, tender and flavorful, and the fragrance of the bamboo tube permeates the meat. My kids devoured two bowls of rice in a row. The "Clam Tofu" is incredibly delicious, and the tofu is so tender it melts in your mouth, perfect for kids. 3⃣️ Ancient Town Snacks: "Socks-bottom Pastry" is salty, fragrant, and crispy, perfect for kids as a snack. "Wansan Cake" comes in a variety of flavors and is soft and non-sticky. "Qingtuan" (Green Rice Balls) are a must-try during springtime. They have a rich mugwort aroma and a sweet, non-greasy filling—kids love them! ## 🍵 Family Afternoon Tea (A relaxing escape) A must-visit "Sanmao Teahouse"! The owner and Sanmao were pen pals, and the shop is filled with photos and letters from her. There's even a photocopied, enlarged version of her handwritten letters on the second floor. It's so meaningful to take your kids over tea while they hear stories about Sanmao and Zhouzhuang. The price is 39 yuan per person, including tea and snacks. Choose a sweet green tea paired with a soft, glutinous pastry. Sit by the window with your kids, watching the boats and pedestrians pass by, and occasionally playing Gomoku with them. These slow-paced moments are so relaxing! ## 👗 Clothing Recommendations (Photos are more important than photos) Traditional clothing is super stylish with kids! Mom in a cheongsam and her child in Hanfu, strolling through the bluestone alleys, framing the dark tiles, white walls, and clear lake waters, every photo is a breathtaking example of ancient style. ✅ Pre-order: We recommend buying clothes at home for a more accurate fit and to save on rentals. If you haven't prepared, there are Hanfu shops in the ancient town where you can rent clothes, offering a wide variety of styles and even styling. Cheongsams are only available for purchase, so if you like something, you can buy it right away. ## ⛩Must-See Attractions (Easy to Visit with Kids) 1⃣️ Shen Wansan's Former Residence: Take your kids to learn about the story of the "richest man in Jiangnan." Inside, there are exhibits featuring artifacts that they'll be engrossed in, and the guide will share interesting historical trivia. 2⃣️ Twin Bridges: Zhouzhuang's iconic landmark, featuring two connected bridges, is incredibly unique. Take your kids to watch the boats come and go from the bridges and share the story behind their construction. 3⃣️ Shen Hall: This ancient building from the Ming and Qing dynasties boasts exquisitely carved beams and painted rafters. Taking your kids around it gives you a glimpse into the life of a wealthy Jiangnan family. They'll also be curious about the architectural details. 4⃣️ Fu'an Bridge: Standing on the bridge offers a breathtaking view overlooking the entire water town, perfect for taking photos with your kids. In the evening, the setting sun casts a stunning shadow on the bridge, creating a breathtaking view. 5⃣️ Weird Building: This slightly interesting attraction features a variety of quirky designs that will delight your kids. It's a breeze to explore and a great place to take your kids for a quick photo-taking experience. ## 📷Photography Tips (Maximize Your Photo Results) 1⃣️ Time: Go in the morning at sunrise when there are fewer people and the lighting is great. The morning light bathes the alleyways, creating a truly atmospheric atmosphere. Taking photos of the alleys with your kids wearing Hanfu will make you feel like you've been transported back to ancient times. 2⃣️ Tools: A telephoto lens is recommended for capturing the layered beauty of the bridges and flowing water, avoiding the crowds and allowing your kids to blend seamlessly into the water town scenery. #Travel with Kids #The most asked place in Moments #Impression of Jiangnan in the ancient town
