Head west from the Shanghai skyscrapers for a day trip to te Wuzhen Water Town to explore over 1,300 years of history. The historic town can feel like an open-air museum, and traveling with a guide adds insight to the architecture, infrastructure, culture, and silk heritage. Wander the East Gate (Dongzha) and West Gate (Xizha) districts, dotted with stone bridges and wooden houses that overhang the canal, stop by the Indigo Fabric Dye House, and browse the The Wedding Museum. Most itineraries include a boat ride through the waterways and private transport to handle the multi-hour drive. Excursions let you avoid the hassle of coordinating regional bus schedules for an effortless day in this atmospheric town.
