Things to do in Jiaxing

I chose a guided tour mainly because, after researching, I found that the cost was about the same as traveling independently with multiple transfers. Not having to transfer was fantastic. This time, our tour guide, Xiao Fang, guided us through Wuzhen East柵 and led us into the Nanxun Scenic Area. Although the combined tour resulted in a large crowd, requiring us to stay very close to hear the guide properly (I constantly heard 'You have fallen behind' from my headset), it definitely added much more depth to the travel experience compared to just wandering around on our own and listening to a guide. True to the itinerary description, lunch, tour headsets, and the boat cruise were not included in the tour fee. Lunch was filling and might only be considered specialty food for foreigners, but the other two items are highly recommended for optional purchase. There were some foreigners in our group, which I felt slightly detracted from the overall experience, but purely from the perspective of a shared shuttle tour, it was actually quite alright. Aside from the riverside and bridges in East Zha, I also highly recommend going inside the Hongyuantai Dye Workshop for photos; since we visited on a weekend, the alleys should have been great for photos too otherwise. As for Nanxun, following Tour Guide Xiao Fang's advice, we headed straight to the Hundred-Jian Building. The walk was a bit far, and at one point I wondered why I had suddenly left the tourist area, but it was truly worth seeing. If you have plenty of time and a travel companion, I highly recommend finding a place to sit down, dine by the river, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The Ding Sheng cake is also recommended to try (I bought it freshly steamed and it was quite good). The night offers a completely different scenery, and I originally chose this tour because it included viewing the night view. Overall, the experience was pretty good.

pretty scenic and nice place. spent about 8 hours in here. there is chagee inside so you can rest there. the 5cny preserved veg biscuit and 3cny fried radish cake (2 stores along same street that frequently had queue in evening) are pretty good.

perfect day trip outside the city, 1.5 hours to get out of the city and enter the past. We made the most beautiful photos! had the kids dress up and had a wonderful day. Mr. Nathan was a wonder guide very well informed and made us a lovely itinerary. thank you

The ancient town is better than several I had visited earlier.

We went on an impromptu trip to Shang Hai and purchased the 5D4N package and was very impressed with the price, and service. Our tour guide, Xiao Tang, was very professional, diligent and caring throughout the trip. I find her a very sincere person and easy to talk to. She was also very knowledgeable sharing the history of all the places we went to. Thanks to her that the entire trip was so comfortable for us. Thanks Xiao Tang, kudos! ❤️❤️

The experience was excellent, I highly recommend arriving at 8:00 AM to slowly choose your outfits, and then get your hair and makeup done. Afterward, you can enjoy taking countless photos in the Wuzhen Xizha Scenic Area. The scenery is beautiful, and no matter how you pose with your chosen clothes, the pictures will turn out lovely.

The attractions we visited were great, and the Songcheng show was quite spectacular—definitely worth seeing. The tour bus was new, very comfortable, and the air conditioning was excellent. However, the so-called 'luxury five-diamond hotel' was more like a 3-star hotel; it was quite old.

There are many exhibitions to visit in Dongzha, and in Xizha, you can take a cruise and go shopping. There are a lot of people taking the boat, making the trip worthwhile. Especially around 7 p.m., the night view is even more beautiful and the photo-taking effect is better. Sitting by the river and watching the boatman rowing the boat slowly drifting on the river is very pleasant and relaxing.

Since I was traveling with my parents, I was most worried about the bus ride comfort, but it was a limousine bus so we rested really comfortably the whole time we were moving!! The night view of Wuzhen was beyond words, so pretty, and we had plenty of free time at Yuyuan Old Street so we took a ton of photos haha. The guide gave fun explanations about Chinese culture and history during the trip so there was never a dull moment~ Eating familiar food at Koreatown as the last stop made it a perfect itinerary, highly recommend it!
