2025 Zhouzhuang Town Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

Visiting China’s number one water town was definitely a must see on my 3 day trip to Suzhou Definitely worth the 1.5 hour trip to and from! It was nice to have some time to take photos before everyone arrived.. my ticket was for 7.30am-12pm and though I was rushing to arrive early, most shops didn't open until around 9am so don't recommend arriving so early unless you'd like to take photos with no people around 🗓️Itinerary Scheduling: I think this could possibly be a better view/experience in the afternoon/night time if you get the chance.. And l'd say half a day there is enough time to view! 🕰️ Business Hours: 7.30am to 8pm Year round 📍 Address: No.43, Quanfu Road, Zhouzhuang Town, Kunshan City 🚉 Metro line 4 to Tongli Station and 25 minute DiDi ride ($10-15AUD one way) 💸 Average Price P/P : $21AUD (Children and seniors free) 🍛 Food and drink: Plenty of places to eat at and drink in the town including local snacks and drinks and also sit down rest and deserts, I recommend a visit for breakfast and lunch or lunch and dinner! #familytravel #suzhou #zhouzhuang #china #chinatravel #travelchina #solotravel #solotraveller

#100 Ways to Travel Zhouzhuang Travel ~ "The sound of silk and bamboo in the south of the Yangtze River and the shadow of ancient bridges and boats" When traveling to Zhouzhuang, you have to mention the number one person "Shen Wansan"! !

Living in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, the emperor at that time was "Zhu Yuanzhang".

According to legend, a certain When Taizu of the Ming Dynasty came to visit, Shen Wansan ordered a dish called "Wansan Hoof" to be prepared as a treat, and the emperor was full of praise! ! Now it has become a local specialty dish~ 📖Added: 1. Wansantu actually refers to braised pig’s feet! ! Most of the above contents are anecdotes passed down from generation to generation, and there are still many that have not been confirmed~ 2. Currently, there are many temples of wealth in Taiwan where the main god worships "Shen Wansan". The most famous one is probably "Dai Tianfu" in Shimen, New Taipei City. 3.

At night, you might as well go to the river pier opposite Shen Hall, board a cruise ship, and listen to the sound of Jiangnan silk and bamboo, while passing through various ancient bridges, watching the bright lanterns and the reflection of the thousand-year-old bridge, and enjoy the charming night The scenery, "lights on ancient bridges and shadows of boats" is actually the most appropriate description. 🍜Food: Promise me to go and try "Wan Shan Ti"! !

'The first water town of China' and a AAAAA Tourist spot, Zhouzhuang is about 40 mins drive (car) from Suzhou. At the entrance, you have to show health code, travel record and PCR test report with 48 hours if you have travelled somewhere within past 14 days. I was lucky to have all arranged with me. Entrance fee is 100 rmb. There are some other options you can choose like entrance ticket with food, museum etc. However, I enjoyed spending the entire day there. The bridge over the lake is obviously a worth view. This water town town is not so big. So you can cover everything easily. There are some hotels if you would like to overnight. Night view of Zhouzhuang is really gorgeous! #culturalattraction#tigeryear2022

We had a great staycation over the weekend to celebrate a birthday and a surprise proposal! The concierge team was very kind and helpful with the preparation. Thanks to Mr Muzaffar and his team! It is definitely a night to remember forever! The first floor room had easy access to the swimming pool with a small terrace of our own. But the sound of the airplane passing by can be a bit loud, so would not recommend the first floor to those who are sensitive to sound during sleep. Otherwise it was a great escape from the city :) #uniquelodging#unforgettableexperiences#deliciousfood#awesomepic#infinitypool

📍 31 Tan Quee Lan St, #01-01, 188117 Fish steamboat and fish bee hoon are common food in Singapore. And Xin Yuan Ji is one of the famous stores here. The store is located around Bugis. It was my favourite lunch the first two weeks when I came to Singapore. I liked to have bee hoon here and it's quite to my taste. 🥣 For those who want a simple meal, a been hoon would be perfect. I would recommend fried fish meat or fried fish head bee hoon. Sliced fish is not so good to my taste. I like fish head more, and add fried egg. 🥚Fried egg is nice, too, you should try. Steamboat here is also famous but I haven't try. Here is cash only. And they will ask you if you want milk in the soup. 🥛For me milk is the essence for the soup so definitely yes. 😋 #singaporefood

Stepping in the hotel we were greeted by the attentive staffs at the entrance and check-in staff was friendly and the process was smooth. Room is quite spacious with separate section between shower and sink and also have a bathtub in the room which you are able to enjoy the outside view. The bed was super comfy. We never feel back pain or awake until the sun comes up. Overall this hotel offers a great service!! #uniquelodging#awesomepic#unforgettableexperiences#couplestrip#deliciousfood

The hotel is really good I did like (1) infinity pool on a rooftop (2) hearty breakfast not to get bored even if you eat there for 3 weeks in a row (3) great Ex Lounge with caring service and, yes, great food (the best lounge offering so far) I did not really like my room though. I changed several but all of them were lack of natural light. Not a problem for a great sleep but complicates awakening. But I'm really being picky there Overall, I did enjoy my stay and would be happy to come back #couplestrip#infinitypool

It has been extremely enjoyable break - wonderful service all round, food taste and quality is great. Everything in the hotel is digital and seamlessly done via the app include the digital door key Spacious hotel which is nice for a getaway William at check in was very efficient and clear; able to provide all the info quickly This deal w the food is a very good deal which I have not seen elsewhere. Very impressed and we are very grateful by the services of all the staff! It is one of best staycations and we will always remember! Food is fantastic as well. Love the swimming pool area, feels like we are overseas. Staff at the spa are awesome as well! Thankful for the lady at the spa reception, she is very thoughtful. We will definitely come back again! #naturalwonders

Highly Recommended Best experience ever ! Good job Capitol Kempinski ! I would like to have big thank you to Stella ! She is the best concierge / lady In red that I have met! She did a good job with the planning and decoration that I would like to have the birthday surprise for my buddy. Stella keep in touch with me on my arrival, the programme for the day we check in. Thank you very much for the teamwork by Stella and her team ! Thank you and you are the best Capitol Kempinski. We will return ! After reading up so many good reviews on this hotel. We decided to booked this for our anniversary. No doubt it’s one of the best hotel with great service from their team, from checking in to the day we left it was a wonderful experience. Staff were very accommodating and helpful. I love their pre-stay questionnaires by email, checking on our choice of pillows or any special request etc. Complimentary breakfast was great at lobby was great & of cos thumbs up to service crew too! #naturalwonders

overall a fantastic experience. originally booked a deluxe room, but upon checkin, decided to upgrade to a bay view room. Thankfully there was availability and paid for an upgrade to the Marina bay view room. Kudus to the reception and housekeeping team for making such a last minute request possible. The pool experience was great! view of marina bay was good, and similar vibe to Fullerton's marina bay view room. we did a couple's 90min at fullertons espa, generally ok.. food was decent, but overall nothing beats: 1) sleeping and waking up to the "cruise" vibe of marina bay... its surreal seeing MBS from your window 2) lounging at the premier room outdoor deck watching the golden pink sunset 3) having in-room high tea woth views of the bay.. its one-of-a-kind... will revisit someday!!! both fullertons have romantic vibes, IMO fullerton has a strong histroical colossal vibe, romantic historically, while FBH is strong in its boutique curated romantic experience. the best way to experience is to splurge, somehow the bay premier rooms have replicated the feels of the maldives private villas, except that you can't dive straight into tue water, and its a view of MBS. #culturalattractions

Highly Recommended We had a pleasant stay at heritage collection on seah. Room was clean and well equipped. Staff Wendy and Syazwan were very service oriented and approachable. They created a WhatsApp group chat to inform us on the check in details and this also offered an avenue where we could pose queries. responses were very prompt too. thank you. As dining-in was still not allowed, we had to get take-aways and ate in the room. only draw-back was that the TV is on the bed level, so we ended up having our meals in bed, which was not the most convenient. other than that, we're thankful for the cutlery and kitchen appliances provided (multi-cooker/pan, toaster, microwave oven, plates/bowls/knife etc) which allowed us to cook up some meals during the stay. hericoll can consider providing a breakfast-in-bed tray, which I feel could be the final touch to providing a perfect stay. #forladies

Stayed at The Four Seasons Hotel Singapore for a weeknight. I must say, this is one of my best experience ever, having stayed at numerous luxury hotels in the last 12 months due to border closure, this hotel certainly cut above the rest. The location of the hotel is good, tucked away at Orchard Boulevard, overseeing the canopy of trees and lush greenery, truly the phrase "Garden City" becomes larger-than-life and it was clearly demonstrated during our stay. And yet, it is just a short stroll away to the glistening shopping belt of Orchard Road, either through the path road alongside Orchard Boulevard or through the LINKWAY to Orchard Road/Tanglin Road. The lobby is quiet, tranquil, elegant. Straight away, you know you are in good hands. As the saying goes, first impressions counts. The room is very spacious and luxurious with 49sqm. TV is sizeable even if you are watching directly from the bed. The bedlinen and matress is very comfy. Air conditioning works well with no fan coil noises, which is rare for a hotel has been there for 2 decades. There is a four features bathroom, walls and floors adorned with marble, with an oversized bathtub, a well functioning Shower Stall with rain shower and a double vanity top with L'occitane amenities. As far as facilities are concerned, there are 2 swimming pools, Outdoor jacuzzi, Tennis Courts, a full size gym etc. We booked a package called Surprise Staycation Package, the inclusion are 1. Daily buffet breakfast for up to two guests 2. Three-course dinner for two at One-Ninety Restaurant 3. A welcome bottle of Prosecco 4. Personalized amenities 5. Early check-in from 12:00 noon 6. Late check-out until 6:00 pm The F&B stff at Garden One Ninety are very attentive, especially the Taiwanese staff. Knowing that we are sharing food, she suggested to us if she could get the kitchen to separate into 2 portions, which is a basic 5 star hotel service often overlooked. The Breakfast is decent, with a combination of hot a la carte and a buffet selection comprises cold cuts, fruits, cereal, bakeries and juices. The hardware is very good (despite the age), software is even better. After all, it is a Four Seasons Hotel. We were elated! #uniquelodging#awesomepic#unforgettableexperiences

It was an awesome weekend spend at Dusit. The environment made me felt like I was out of Singapore amidst of Covid. The hotel is well maintained and had great vacation vibes. The staffs were very friendly, accommodative and helpful. Special thanks to Ju ly, Edwin and Louis for patiently assisting us through our 3 days. The app, was something new and it was very user friendly. With the app, i did not have the hassle of bringing my key card everywhere I go, and the app allowed me to make my special request via a click instead of calling the conceige etc. The free shuttle bus services to Jewel and Changi City Point, made travelling our for lunch etc easier. The bus was on schedule and the drivers were friendly. The morning views from the bedroom was amazing to wake up to. Overall awesome experience and would go again. #scenicspotguide#uniquelodging#unforgettableexperiences#awesomepic#couplestrip

We did a 2-night staycay in one of their residence suite from Sunday to Wednesday. Room was spacious and offered a refreshing view of the city and surroundings. Bathtub was huge. We did in-room breakfast, and the quantity was always more than sufficient, albeit options might be limited compared to dining at the restaurant. Scott and Kensie, the gentlemen managing the very popular pool, was most thoughtful and always went around to ensure our needs were met, while also respectfully invited us all to vacate when it was time. Amazing experience. No complaints. #deliciousfood#awesomepic#couplestrip#unforgettableexperiences

Good memoirs at Taiwan with famfriends ♥️ #merrychristmas

Zhouzhuang, the first town in the south of Jiangnan. The passing of the years has not erased the original tradition of it, and it is even more precious.

If you like wine tasting and tea, you can also try Wansan rice wine, sweet-scented osmanthus, and apo tea.

Zhouzhuang Ancient Town is located 33 kilometers southwest of Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province, about 40 kilometers from Suzhou City, and is located between Shanghai, Hangzhou and Suzhou. Zhouzhuang is built around water. The town is built because of the water, the streets are built along the river, and the people live by the river. As the first of the six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, there are small bridges and flowing water, white walls and black tiles, winding water lanes, and century-old ancient bridges.
