Stop Crowding West Lake! Wuzhen in Spring is the Top Destination in Jiangnan

Friends, as a travel veteran who has explored countless ancient towns in Jiangnan, I must say that compared to West Lake, Wuzhen's spring-exclusive "Spring Splendor" is truly my favorite! Rowing a small boat along the Xishi River, with the sparkling water surface complemented by swaying willows on the shore, then stepping onto those moss-covered stone bridges—in an instant, I felt like I'd fallen into a breathtaking ink painting. By evening, as the sunset's glow bathes the white walls and dark tiles, with a gentle breeze carrying hints of moisture, strolling through the winding alleys gives you that wonderful feeling of poetry and distant dreams right beneath your feet! 📅April 18 - June 2, the Spring Wind Festival on Wuzhen Canal Embankment is in full swing!
