In the vast land of China, there are countless picturesque towns hidden. These small towns have their own characteristics, like bright pearls, scattered on the land of China. And I happened to choose one of the fascinating places - Wuzhen, as my travel destination.
Wuzhen, located in Tongxiang City, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, is an ancient town with a long history and profound cultural heritage. There is not only the grace of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, but also the charm of the thousand-year-old town. The moment I stepped into Wuzhen, it was like being in an ink painting, quiet and peaceful.
Wuzhen is the most beautiful in the early morning. The sun is rising, the sun is shining, and the whole ancient town is bathed in soft sunlight. Walking along the bluestone road, the ancient buildings on both sides are built along the water, with white walls and tiles, wooden lattice window lattices, reflected in the clear river water, which is picturesque. On the river, several small boats swayed gently, and the boatmen sang old songs, and the melodious songs drifted in the wind. At this moment, I felt as if I had traveled back in time and space to that rainy era.
In Wuzhen, I chose an inn near the water to stay. When you open the window, you can see the scenery by the river. In the early morning, I would sit in front of the window and enjoy tea while admiring the morning fog of Wuzhen and the fishermen fishing. Occasionally, a few egrets will pass by the river, leaving ripples in their wake.
In addition to the natural scenery, Wuzhen's food is also not to be missed. The food here is unique, with the light and delicate Jiangnan cuisine and the unique local flavor. I tried the local signature dishes – white cut meat, steamed fish and chicken soup tofu – which were delicious and memorable.
During my time in Wuzhen, I also got to know some local residents. They were warm and friendly and introduced me to the history and culture of Wuzhen. Through communicating with them, I have a deeper understanding of Wuzhen. It turns out that there are not only beautiful scenery here, but also profound cultural heritage and unique customs.
In addition to communicating with the local residents, I also traveled to all corners of Wuzhen on my own. I visited historical and cultural sites such as Mu Xin's former residence and Mao Dun's former residence, and felt the strong cultural atmosphere of Wuzhen. I also visited the local traditional market and picked up some unique handicrafts and souvenirs. Every corner has left my footprints and memories.
During my few days in Wuzhen, I felt like I had a peaceful and wonderful time. There is no hustle and bustle of the city, only a slow-paced life and a non-contentious mentality. Every time I walk in the alleys of Wuzhen, I feel a sense of ease and ease that I have never felt before.
On the day I left Wuzhen, I stood in front of the window of the inn, overlooking the scenery on the river. As the sun sets, the entire ancient town is dyed with a layer of golden brilliance. There are faint ripples on the surface of the river, as if telling the story of Wuzhen. At this moment, a faint sorrow and reluctance surged in my heart. But I know that this wonderful time will be a memory in my heart forever.
On the way back, I was immersed in memories of Wuzhen. The scenery, food, and culture here are unforgettable. I was amazed by the wonders of nature and the profound heritage of human civilization. All this makes me cherish the meaning of travel and the beauty of life even more.
I would like to sum up my trip to Wuzhen in one sentence: "The gentle time flowing between ink and water." "I hope that everyone who loves travel can embark on their own journey like me, feel the beauty and colorfulness of life, and at the same time cherish and protect these beautiful natural and cultural heritages, so that they can be passed on forever and become our common wealth and memory."
