Wuzhen, Zhejiang🇨🇳 Timeless Beauty of China’s Water Town (4K UHD)

Welcome to this video with CC subtitles or automatic translation! Hello, I’m Duck, welcome to my channel! The movie was shot in Wuzhen(烏鎮), Zhejiang(浙江) Province in March 2024 Wuzhen is an ancient town in southeastern Zhejiang Province, China. It has a history of more than 1300 years.

It is a typical representative of the South China Water Village Wuzhen is famous for its well-preserved ancient buildings, stone bridges, waterways and profound cultural heritage. The town is divided into two areas, Dongzha(東柵) and Xizha(西柵). Xizha is particularly popular with tourists because it retains more of the traditional way of life and handicrafts.

This is a typical south China water village with small bridges and flowing water. Cafes and stores at the end of the street are full of artistic feelings. I walk along the river, which is full of small boats This is the main commercial street in old town, with many stores on both sides.

It’s March in the spring, and the rape flowers are in full bloom. The sky is drizzling, and I hope the rain won’t get heavier! I’m currently in Wuzhen Dongzha (烏鎮東柵). Dongzha is the main setting for many TV dramas. The simple homes along the riverbank are filled with locals.

A casual stroll will enable you to experience the quiet life of the water village people. Martial Arts Show on Board I walk to the main shopping street of Dongzha I’m walking along the river, which is not as crowded with boats. I came to an old stone street lined with inns

Wuzhen (乌镇), located in the Zhejiang (浙江) province of China, is a mesmerizing water town with a history spanning over 1,300 years. Often referred to as a “Venice of the East,” its charm lies in its ancient stone bridges floating on calm waters, traditional wooden houses, and a serene atmosphere that takes you back in time.

This picturesque town is divided into six districts, but the most notable are the East and West Scenic Zones. The East Scenic Zone gives you a glimpse into the traditional lifestyle and crafts of the region, such as indigo fabric production and the ancient art of woodblock printing. As you wander through its narrow lanes, you’ll be enchanted by the well-preserved architecture and the peaceful life that seems to flow as gently as the waters around you.

The West Scenic Zone, on the other hand, is famed for its beautifully illuminated night scene. At dusk, the area comes alive with lanterns that light up the paths, bridges, and buildings, creating a magical atmosphere that is both romantic and surreal. This zone also hosts a variety of traditional performances and cultural activities, offering visitors a deeper understanding of the local heritage and customs.

Wuzhen is not just a tourist attraction; it’s a living museum where people still reside and maintain their traditional way of life. It also serves as a venue for the Wuzhen Theatre Festival, an international event that attracts theatre companies and performers from around the world, further adding to its cultural richness.

Whether you’re meandering along its ancient streets, enjoying a leisurely boat ride on its canals, or immersing yourself in its cultural festivities, Wuzhen offers a tranquil yet vibrant experience that captures the essence of China’s rich history and the enduring allure of its water towns.

  1. Are there any people living in this part of town? I don't think I saw one house with those red banners around the front door, except at the end of the video. At 1:14 you see a long bench to sit on- facing a concrete wall. Knowing that this is an art town, maybe local artists can make wall drawings on it? Then people have something nice to look at.

  2. 怎么好多路人说的话我都听不懂,还有越南语😂
    乌镇离我上学的地方还蛮近的,不过我没去过乌镇,只去过旁边的南浔。
    不知道是因为天气还是滤镜还是参数设置还是你的摄影风格,我总觉得画面偏蓝偏冷偏素,缺少一种春光融融、暖意洋洋的感觉🤔,只是一个看法,不是要对你的摄影置喙,做你喜欢的就好。
    PS:很欣慰终于在一个古镇没看到浔埔女、苗族、藏族服饰🤣
    1:01:02 难道这就是传说中的一招鲜吃遍天
    1:06:37 苗族服饰虽迟但到
    1:08:15 这就开始了啊,到了夏天岂不是一片白花花的大肚子,画面太美我不敢看😅

  3. AGUA❤ , ¡¡ Que maravilla !! Donde confirmadamente nació la vida, me mantuviste en estado hipnótico toda la hora y 25 minutos querido Equipo, que Hermosura de lugar, puentes, caminos, gente y el fabuloso caudal transportando las barcarolas, en algún momento atravezaste un tramo escoltado a lado y lado de altos bambú, ¡ vaya caballero ! Como dicen en Cuba, y esas " vereditas alegres con luz de luna o de sol " así como reza una hermosa canción Peruana, en fín, mi querido equipo Duck fué un recorrido para soñar ustedes saben que disfruto el segundo a segundo de todo lo ustedes nos presentan, Vosotros sois mi mejor guia turística virtual.- Un abrazo apretujado de paz para cada uno de ustedes Equipo Duck, ¡ los adoro🥰 !
