Welcome to Wuzhen

Wuzhen is famous for its residences dating from the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911 ), and the town keeps its ancient ambience, as if time has stood still. Wuzhen is also
famous for its traditional craft of "bed-making," exquisite examples of which can be seen in the Museum of Antique Beds. Other
attractions include the elaborate painting of 24 filial sons of old times in the Zhu Family
House, and depictions of traditional ceremonies, such as those for babies when they were
one month old, weddings and the birthdays of the elderly all illustrative of the culture of
southeast China. The Xizha district of the town has old houses and paviUons stretching
over 1,000 m along dyer banks. Piled up in the courtyard of the Gaogongsheng Winery
are jars filled with rice wine, scenting the air with a heady aroma. At the Hongyuantai Dye
Works, immensely long pieces of indigo-blue printed cotton are hung high in the air to dry. Wuzhen is also home to the Xiuzhen
Taoist Temple, one of the three most renowned ones in southeast China. In front of the
temple is an ancient opera stage, where performances are given all the year round. In
addition, Prince Zhaoming's Study and the Former Residence of Mao Dun attract people
interested in Chinese language and literature.
