Wuzhen is one of the most famous tourist towns in China. Many people visit there to enjoy the scenery of water towns. Also they have great interest in its history and culture.
Wuzhen Water Town lies in the north of Zhejiang Province. The town has a very long history, so visiting Wuzhen is like travelling back in time. An old canal (运河) between Hangzhou and Beijing runs through it. Its beauty lies in its old stone bridges, stone pathways and houses.
The most famous two parts of Wuzhen are called Dongzha and Xizha. Dongzha is a great place to enjoy Wuzhen’s traditional houses. There, many shops, restaurants and museums welcome visitors warmly. People also enjoy the folk shows there, like shadow plays, bamboo pole climbing and kung fu shows. Visitors in Xizha can enjoy great sights of the canal. The stone bridges across the canal make up a wonderful picture. This part of the town is really beautiful at night, when the lights brighten up all the homes along the canal.
These years, Wuzhen is very famous for the activities there. It has become the home of the World Internet Conference (会议) (also WIC) since the first meeting was held in 2014. Every year, the Wuzhen Theatre Festival attracts many directors, performers and theatre lovers. There are many kinds of dramas and workshops in October.
