The night canal scene is the most romantic thing in China
The Xizha night scene — lanterns reflecting in the canals, ancient wooden buildings illuminated, the sound of water — is extraordinarily romantic. Buy the combined day+night ticket. The silk weaving demonstration is genuine and fascinating. Stay inside the scenic area for the full experience.

The Theatre Festival transforms the town
I visited during the Wuzhen Theatre Festival in October and it was extraordinary — contemporary performances in ancient spaces, international artists, the town buzzing with creative energy. The contrast between the 1,300-year-old architecture and cutting-edge theatre is remarkable. Book accommodation months ahead.

Indigo dyeing workshop is a highlight
The traditional indigo dyeing workshop is a genuine highlight — watch artisans create the distinctive blue-and-white fabric using traditional methods. The Mao Dun former residence is interesting for literature lovers. Wuzhen is more authentic than Zhouzhuang and the night scene is extraordinary.
