Xiaohe Straight Street Ancient Town: A peaceful ancient street located along the Grand Canal – the longest and oldest artificial canal system in the world, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 2014. At less than 1 km long, the street impresses with its well-preserved traditional houses, ancient architecture interspersed with small shops, tea houses, bookstores, and art spaces.

Having largely preserved its architecture and living customs for over 1,000 years, Wuzhen has become a must-visit destination for everyone.
You have dinner at your own expense within the scenic area and explore, take photos, and admire the beauty of Wuzhen, the most beautiful water town in China, with its layout of rivers and streets, bridges connecting roads, houses on the water, all blending together into waterside pavilions and bridge corridors. The small, ancient bluestone-paved paths clearly reflect the classical Chinese architectural style of "harmony as beauty," meaning the harmony between the overall architectural space and the inherent beauty of nature.
After enjoying yourselves, you return to the hotel to rest.
