Wuzhen Theatre Festival Guide: This Utopia Packs a Punch!

The annual Wuzhen Theatre Festival is back! ❗️❗️ I just got back from the festival and I'm so excited! I finally put together a guide for everyone! ❗️❗️ It packs a punch! ~ This guide covers everything from food, accommodation, transportation, and entertainment. Feel free to use it as a reference. ~ - 🚗Transportation Let's start with transportation. It's very convenient to get to Wuzhen from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. You can take a high-speed train to Tongxiang Station and then take a taxi for 20 km to get there. ~ It's also very convenient to drive from Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, and other cities. 📷Entertainment If you're coming for the theatre festival, you must see a play you like. We saw The Threepenny Opera, and it was a wonderful performance. 👍 The Wuzhen Carnival is really high quality, with lots of performance groups, body installations, intangible cultural heritage performances, parade NPCs, and more. ~ If you're lucky, you might even run into a celebrity. ~ The whole carnival is so much fun. ~ I'll be back next year. 🏠Accommodation I recommend staying at [Wucun Daoshe Country Hotel]. This hotel is really nice. From a distance, it looks like a painting, blending in with the rice fields. It's really beautiful and artistic. ~ The hotel is next to Xizha and located in Wucun. I recommend staying for three days and two nights so you can explore Wuzhen and Wucun. The hotel offers a free shuttle bus to Wucun Scenic Area. There's a beautiful treehouse in Wucun that you can climb up to. ~ It's like being in a fairy tale world. ~ There's also a whole field of rice paddies and sugarcane fields, with beautiful natural scenery. There's also a beautiful Zhiqing Cafe in Wucun. The whole installation is a celebration of the harvest. It's nice to sit here for an afternoon. ~ The hotel breakfast is also very good. 👍 The fresh vegetables are very sweet, especially the sugarcane, which is delicious. 😋 ~ You must try it. ~ If you stay at the hotel, there's a free shuttle bus to and from Wuzhen Xizha Scenic Area. It only takes a few minutes. ~ I also recommend the morning tea at Xizha Scenic Area. If you stay at a hotel in Xizha Scenic Area, you can make a free reservation and experience the local life of Jiangnan Water Town. ~ Wuzhen is so beautiful. I'll be back. ~
