Full Day Wuzhen Excursion from Shanghai

Información

Wuzhen is an ancient water town which has the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal running through it. A prosperous town due to its location, Wuzhen has a history of over 1000 years and is rich in cultural heritage. An unusual attraction in Wuzhen is the Jiangnan Hundred Bed Museum. This museum is the first in China to collect and exhibit ancient beds of the Jiangnan area, some of which date back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

A handicraft for which Wuzhen is famous for is the production of their flower printed blue cloth. With a history of over 1000 years, local people still follow the traditional techniques of printing and dyeing the embossed blue cloth. Many examples of delicate woodcarving can be found at the Jiangnan Woodcarving Hall. It was formerly the home of the Xu family in Dongzha.

A visit to Xiuzhen Temple is included in this tour. This temple is regarded as one of the three most important Taoist temples in southern China. During the visit in Wuzhen you will have the opportunity to watch a shadow play show featuring shadows of handmade puppets.
