The Wuzhen ticket may be expensive, but it's worth it due to the good management and human-centered approach.
The Wuzhen ticket is expensive, but people who charge more have a reason. The management is very good and humanized, similar to how European small towns are managed, without random charges, very neat and clean. It really makes you feel clean, comfortable, and humanized. For example, the toilets of others are like wedding theme hall WC, which is beautiful, Wuzhen also has original residents, unlike Wuzhen which is contracted by tourism agencies, but Wuzhen's West Scenic Area also has residents, just that West Scenic Area has been contracted,
If you have enough time, you want to browse and relax instead of purely traveling, you can also go to Xitang, but if you don't have much time, Wuzhen is enough. If you have to choose, choose Wuzhen. The ancient towns developed now have no longer the quaint and fresh beauty of the former Jiangnan rain pavilions, I live in Xunshun District and Wuzhen is adjacent, a ten-minute drive, I went to school in Xunshun, not far from Jiaxing, and went several times, since Wuzhen's West Scenic Area ticket prices increased, I rarely went,
For these three ancient towns, if you are purely traveling and viewing the scenery, Wuzhen is the best. If you want to feel the unique atmosphere of the ancient town, go to Xunshun, while it hasn't been overdeveloped. Wuzhen is the most developed, West Scenic Area has no original residents, you can enter through tickets to see restored dye workshops, many buildings in Wuzhen are rebuilt, and the stone roads are newly paved, which makes me a little embarrassed, haha. But Wuzhen is built well and is very neat (strange description), I recommend going to Wuzhen if you want to experience folk customs and scenery. Don't go during peak season, or you'll only see crowds. Regarding Xitang, Xitang gives the impression of many shops and bars, mostly opened by locals. Now tourists are also increasing, frankly, it looks a little chaotic and lacks the order of Wuzhen, but it has a bit more of a local flavor. I don't recommend going to Xitang now,
Let's talk about Xunshun, Xia Lian Zhuang and Baijian Lou are genuine, haha. Xunshun is not very well developed now, if you don't go into the ancient houses, there's no need to buy tickets (crying). I recently went to Xunshun at night, I felt very good, chatting and walking along the river with a few friends, the night view is not as beautiful as Wuzhen and Xitang, but it has a good feeling, and there are fewer people. However, these three ancient towns are not as they used to be, they all have the feeling of being overdeveloped, maybe Xunshun is a little better, I recommend Xunshun, Xunshun's night view is also beautiful, it's beautiful to take pictures casually. My writing is very poor, let's just get through it, a simple statement,
