The morning in Zhouzhuang Ancient Town is perfect for a stroll | Includes route map

| Includes route map. 🌈Zhouzhuang is known as "China's No.1 Water Town" and is definitely worth a visit, especially in the quiet mornings. The staggered bridges, turquoise awning boats, and serene charm create a picturesque scene! 📷Just returned from Zhouzhuang Ancient Town, so I’m sharing this route guide with you—perfect for those planning a trip! - 🎫Ticket: 100 RMB (one-time purchase, unlimited free re-entry afterward—just register with your ID card, so don’t forget to bring it). 🕙Hours: 8:00 AM ~ 5:00 PM (free entry before 8:00 AM and after 5:00 PM). - 🗺️Recommended route: North Gate Ancient Archway Ticket Check ➡️ Screen Wall ➡️ Twin Bridges ➡️ Zhang Hall ➡️ Shen Hall ➡️ South Lake Autumn Moon Garden ➡️ Quanfu Temple ➡️ Chengxu Taoist Temple ➡️ Mi Tower ➡️ Zhouzhuang Museum - 🌟Must-visit spots in the ancient town: ✅Twin Bridges Composed of Shide Bridge and Yong'an Bridge, shaped like an ancient key🔑! Made famous by Chen Yifei’s painting *Memories of Hometown*, it’s incredibly photogenic in the quiet morning light—just snap a shot from the bridge! ✅Zhang Hall A grand Ming Dynasty residence full of hidden surprises! The backyard has a "Chopstick River" where boats can pass🚣♀️—literally, "sedans enter through the front gate, boats sail through the house!" ✅Shen Hall A seven-courtyard mansion💰 built by descendants of Jiangnan tycoon Shen Wansan! Don’t miss the carved beams of Songmao Hall and the brick-carved gate tower. Rub the "Treasure Bowl" ornament for good fortune! 🌟The "Horse-Riding Tower" is a hidden gem! A 200-meter-long corridor connects the entire floor like a maze🚶♀️. The carved windows let in stunning light, and the aerial view of the courtyard from the second floor is breathtaking📸 (also where the legend of "Wansan Pork Trotter" originated🏯!). - 🚢Boat rides: There are two docks with different prices (likely different routes): 1️⃣North of Twin Bridges: 280 RMB per boat, 2️⃣Near Shen Hall: 220 RMB per boat - 🥗Food The local specialty is Wansan Pork Trotter (better to buy outside the scenic area for a lower price). If a whole trotter feels too heavy, try Wansan (Trotter) Noodles—many shops serve it. - 🏠Accommodation The ancient town is small and can be explored in half a day. But for those who prefer a leisurely trip, staying overnight is ideal—enjoy the night views without rushing and explore the quiet mornings before the crowds arrive. There are plenty of guesthouses inside the town to choose from.
