A Day Trip to Zhouzhuang Water Town: Essential Tips

Getting There from Shanghai

Planning a visit to the enchanting Zhouzhuang Water Town? Here's how to get there from Shanghai:

  • Shanghai Railway Station to Suzhou Railway Station: Take a high-speed train for a quick 25-minute journey.
  • Suzhou Railway Station to Tongli Station: Hop on Line 4 of the Suzhou Metro and ride to the final stop (Exit 2). This takes about an hour and costs 7 yuan.
  • Tongli Station to Zhouzhuang: Catch the Kunshan C10 bus for another hour-long ride. The fare is only 2 yuan.

Travel Tip: Aim to leave before 11 AM to minimize waiting times. The C10 bus has departures around 11 AM, 12 PM, and 1 PM, with longer intervals in the afternoon.

Accommodation

For a comfortable stay, consider:

Zhouzhuang Inn: Located at No. 25 Xiwan Street, Kunshan, Jiangsu, China. Expect to pay around 390k VND per night.

Must-Try Food

Don't leave Zhouzhuang without sampling these local delicacies:

  • Wan San Pork Knuckle: This signature dish of Zhouzhuang features flavorful, marinated pork knuckle. It's a must-try, but choose your vendor carefully! The ones near the ticket entrance aren't the best :(. Prices range from 78 to 90 yuan.
  • Plum Blossom Cake: These fragrant, chewy cakes are delicious and make for beautiful photos.
  • Egg Noodles: A budget-friendly option (10-12 yuan) that's simple and satisfying. You might even find it served at your homestay!
