After considering a few options, we decided on an overnight trip to explore attractions near Shanghai and chose Wuzhen Ancient Town.  We boarded a 40-minute high-speed train to Tongxiang Station, then took a Didi ride to Wuzhen. Upon arriving, we checked into ATour Hotel and made our way to the Wuzhen Ancient Town scenic area. Known for its well-preserved traditional Jiangnan (south of the Yangtze River) architecture, stone bridges, and meandering canals, it’s one of the most picturesque ancient water towns in China. The low season meant the town was peaceful and not crowded, which allowed us to leisurely explore. We strolled along the canals, stopping at various attractions and savoring some local snacks along the way.

As the evening settled, the town’s night scene was simply breathtaking. We enjoyed an authentic, plant-based meal at a local restaurant after dark. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere added to the charm of this ancient town.

我们决定做一次过夜游，看看上海附近的一些景点，经过一番考虑，最终选择了乌镇古镇。我们乘坐了40分钟的高铁到达桐乡站，然后打车前往乌镇。抵达后，我们入住了ATour酒店，并前往乌镇古镇景区。乌镇以其保存完好的传统江南建筑、石桥和蜿蜒的河道而闻名，是中国最具画意的水乡古镇之一。由于正值旅游淡季，镇内宁静且不拥挤，使得我们可以从容地探索。我们沿着河道漫步，停留在各个景点，途中品尝了不少当地小吃。

夜幕降临时，镇上的夜景美不胜收。我们在当地的一家餐馆享用了正宗的素食。美味的食物和独特的氛围，更加增添了这个古镇的魅力。
