Located within the Xizha Scenic Area, covering an area of 2500 square meters, it is paved with blue bricks and features densely packed high poles and tiered drying racks, creating a grand scale. The dyehouse uses indigo as the raw material to produce blue printed fabrics and also has a unique color baking process. The color baking results in rich colors, and the finished products are very beautiful. The large drying yard is adorned with rows of printed fabrics fluttering in the wind, making it a popular spot for photography. Many tourists come here to take beautiful personal photos. Additionally, printed fabrics are sold here at affordable prices, and those interested can buy some as souvenirs.
Wuzhen Post Office
The green mailbox at the entrance of the post office has been in use since the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. The lobby of the post office is bustling and noisy, with countless tourists stopping by to write down their thoughts and send blessings. In the past, sending postcards seemed tacky, but now it feels like one of the rituals of travel. A letter carrying emotions has the power to transcend time and space. No matter how many years later you read it, you can still recall those gentle moments of the past.
Yuelao Temple
Yuelao Temple is located in the Wuzhen Tourist Area, by the roadside where the tour bus passes. It can be said to be an inconspicuous building, but it is very famous. The large tree in front of the temple is covered with red ribbons. You can buy a red ribbon, write your wish on it, and hang it up. It is said to be very effective.
Located on the old street of Xizha, 'Xiqing Hall' is a large wedding customs celebration hall that showcases traditional Jiangnan folk marriage and festive rituals. It consists of eight ancient halls arranged in a 4-by-4 layout over two floors. Inside, there are: the front hall, wedding hall, meeting hall, sedan chair hall, rear hall, three-respect hall, colorful building, bridal chamber, back garden, as well as exhibits of old wedding customs such as dowries, arrangements, props, entourage, costumes, jewelry crowns, decorations, wedding boats, wedding stickers, and musical bands. Visitors can experience the authentic old Jiangnan wedding and personally participate in this classical wedding. The hall also offers interactive experiences for visitors such as ancient costume trials, snapshot photography, and paper cutting, allowing them to truly appreciate why people in the past referred to getting married as 'Xiaodengke'.
Bailian Pagoda Temple
The tallest building in Wuzhen, with seven levels, echoing the Shousheng Pagoda in Dongzha. These two pagodas are considered the eastern and western treasures by the local people. Built during the Northern Song Dynasty, there is a saying 'One View, Two Pagodas, Nine Temples, Thirteen Nunneries,' and one of the two pagodas is the Bailian Pagoda Temple. On one side of the pagoda, you can see the rolling Grand Canal, and on the other side, you can see the picturesque scenery of small bridges and flowing water. At night, the pagoda is illuminated, making it look crystal clear and incredibly beautiful.
Sauce Garden
From afar, you can smell the fragrance. A rich, mellow, and satisfying aroma. The Sauce Garden still operates on a small scale. By controlling light, temperature, and humidity, microorganisms are used to ferment raw materials. It feels very magical. While you're at it, visit Yichang Smelting Workshop. While marveling at the wisdom of the ancients, you also sympathize with the hard life of the laboring people.
Strolling in Xizha
Small bridges and flowing water, black tiles and yellow walls. Green trees provide shade, and the clear waves ripple. The ancient Wupeng boats leisurely sway, creating a serene and leisurely picture.
