Jiaxing

En så fantastisk opplevelse. Turlederen er veldig erfaren og tar godt vare på turistene. Den gamle vannbyen er virkelig et sted man må oppleve selv. Ikke glem å finne deg en hyggelig restaurant ved elven og nyt et måltid med den vakre utsikten. Det føles som om jeg er tilbake i gamle dager, da jeg pleide å se på de tradisjonelle kinesiske kung-fu-dramaene.

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.

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

Overall, it was a wonderful day trip to Wuzhen! The scenery was absolutely beautiful, especially the transition from afternoon to evening and night. Each time of day offered a different atmosphere, and the night view with all the lights was particularly stunning. One area for improvement would be to provide a digital map or a clearer, more detailed map of Xizha Scenic Area. The area is quite large, and it can be easy for first-time visitors to get lost while exploring. A more user-friendly map would definitely help visitors navigate and make the most of their time there. Overall, it was a lovely experience and definitely worth visiting!

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!

Kanskje på grunn av regnet var guiden litt forsinket, og vi måtte gå ganske langt med paraply før vi kom til turbussen. Det var mange folk i Humble Administrator's Garden. Lunsjen var en enkel buffet, og en av rettene var sur. Wuzhen var veldig vakkert, og hvis jeg skulle dra igjen, ville jeg valgt å overnatte der.

Vi dro på en spontan tur til Shanghai og kjøpte 5D4N-pakken, og var veldig imponert over prisen og servicen. Reiselederen vår, Xiao Tang, var veldig profesjonell, flittig og omsorgsfull gjennom hele turen. Jeg synes hun er en veldig oppriktig person og lett å snakke med. Hun var også svært kunnskapsrik og delte historien om alle stedene vi besøkte. Takket være henne var hele turen så komfortabel for oss. Takk, Xiao Tang, kudos! ❤️❤️

Tour Guide: Wuzhen ~ Guolicheng Tour Guide: Hangzhou ~ Sally Yue Itinerary: A two-day, one-night group tour. Both tour guides were very good, and they clearly explained the pick-up/drop-off meeting points and the scenic spots. Accommodation Choice: Stayed one night in Wuzhen, and the accommodation was decent. Transportation Choice: Standard tour bus. Attractions: Self-selected scenic spots. We had plenty of time in Wuzhen. For the Hangzhou leg, choosing Songcheng felt a bit rushed, but overall the itinerary was arranged quite well.

We had a wonderful time on this 3D2N tour. The itinerary is very interesting and we are fortunate to be able to go to all these places as on our own we will not be able to do it. The guide is very professional and caring, the coach provided was luxurious and hotel was good local 5 star. The only problem was locating the meet up point. But the guide help us out.
