Located in Xizhang Scenic Area, covering an area of 2500 square meters, it is paved with blue bricks and has a large number of tall poles and stepped cloth racks. It uses bluegrass as raw material to produce blue printed cloth, and has a unique color baking process, with rich colors and beautiful finished products. The big sun drying field is hung with rows of printed fabrics, floating in the wind, becoming a good place for people to take photos. There are often tourists coming here to shoot beautiful personal photos. In addition, printed fabrics are also sold here at affordable prices, and interested people can buy some souvenirs to take away.
Wuzhen Post Office
The green mailbox outside the post office has been used since the Qing Dynasty's Guangxu period. The post office lobby is bustling with countless tourists stopping here to write their thoughts and send their blessings. In the past, I always thought sending postcards was tacky, but now I realize it's also a sense of ritual in traveling. A letter carrying emotions has the power to transcend time and space. No matter how many years later, it can evoke memories of gentle moments in the past.
The Temple of the Matchmaker
The Moon Temple is located in the Wuzhen tourist area. It is a small building by the roadside, but has a great reputation. The big tree in front of the gate is tied with red ribbons. You can buy a red ribbon, write your wish on it, and hang it there. It is said to be very effective.
"Xi Qing Tang", located on Xizha Old Street, is a large wedding celebration hall that specializes in showcasing traditional Jiangnan folk marriage customs and festive etiquette. It consists of eight ancient halls on the upper and lower floors. It includes a front hall, wedding hall, meeting hall, sedan hall, back hall, three statue hall, colored pavilion, bridal chamber, backyard, as well as exhibits of dowries, decorations, props, entourage, clothing, crown and veil, wedding boat, wedding couple's characters, and ceremonial musical band that showcase the customs of ancient weddings. Visitors can experience an authentic Jiangnan wedding and personally participate in this classical ceremony. The hall also offers interactive experiences for visitors, such as traditional costume try-on, snapshot photography, and paper cutting, allowing them to truly appreciate the taste of calling marriage "a small imperial examination" in the old days.
Bailian Pagoda Temple
The highest building in Wuzhen has seven levels and is in harmony with Shousheng Pagoda in Dongzha. These two pagodas are precious treasures for the local people. Built during the Northern Song Dynasty, it is known as "one view, two pagodas, nine temples, and thirteen shrines." 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 scene of small bridges and flowing water. At night, the pagoda is illuminated by lights, giving it a transparent and beautiful appearance.
Sauce garden
You can smell the fragrance from far away. It has a rich, aromatic taste that brings satisfaction to people's hearts. The soy sauce factory is still operating on a small scale. By exposing the raw materials to light, temperature, and humidity, microorganisms are used to ferment them for their own use. It feels very magical. I also visited Yichang Forge and marveled at the wisdom of the ancients, while also pitying the hardships of the working people's lives.
Wandering in Xizheng
A small bridge over flowing water, with yellow walls and dark-tiled roofs. Green trees provide shade, with rippling waves in the clear water. A quaint and leisurely boat sways gently, creating a peaceful and relaxed scene.
