Wuzhen is divided into East and West sections.
They are two different scenic areas.
There are combined tickets available, or you can buy a ticket for just one attraction.
Dongzha is rather small and boring, so most tourists choose Xizha instead.
The same applies to Lu Yibei and his group.
The ticket price is 150 yuan, which is a bit expensive.
However, since all four of them are university students, they can get a 50% discount, which is acceptable.
“Fun fact: ‘Wuzhen’ is the name of a town, and it is a town under the jurisdiction of Jucheng. So the official name of ‘Wuzhen’ is actually ‘Wuzhen Town’,” Lu Yibei said.
Of the four, he was the only one who had been there before, and he acted as a tour guide after entering the scenic area.
What he said was true; the sign just now read "Friendly Reminder from Wuzhen Town Public Security Bureau".
Li Si and Xia Li behind him didn't get it; they just felt that this little-known fact was indeed cold, like hearing a lame joke, giving them goosebumps.
Lu Yibei glanced sideways and saw Ji Qingqian biting her lower lip, desperately suppressing the urge to laugh.
Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke:
"Reduplicated words, disgusting."
Lu Yibei was extremely satisfied, as he had originally intended to tell the story to Lady Qingqian.
The last two have no taste; they either laugh or don't.
“Miss, you’re so cute,” Lu Yibei said.
Wuzhen is already a well-known tourist destination, and it's usually crowded, but during the National Day holiday it's even more packed.
As far as the eye could see, there were heads everywhere.
Some people say that you shouldn't go out to play during the National Day holiday, because you'll be seeing more people than sights.
But for the vast majority of people, the only time to go out is during the National Day holiday…
Although there were many people, upon entering the scenic area, the first thing that caught the eye was the lush green trees that blocked the sunlight, leaving only dappled light and shadow.
After walking a few dozen more steps, you will see a dense network of waterways and crisscrossing waterways.
On the turquoise river, boatmen row their small boats, and passengers in the cabins point out the typical Jiangnan-style buildings with blue tiles and white walls.
People on the second floor of the small building were also looking out over the river.
Jiangnan has never lacked Hanfu enthusiasts, especially Wuzhen.
Over there is a dashing young man opening his folding fan; over here is a stunning beauty lifting the hem of her skirt.
Even a glimpse of a corner reveals the typical features of a small town in southern China.
Of course, once inside, the shops and hustles everywhere remind you that you haven't really stumbled into Jiangnan a thousand years ago.
Commercialization is unavoidable.
Lu Yibei said to the other three, "Some people always say that natural is good, and natural is indeed good, but in reality, the truly natural ancient villages that my dad went to really require some driving skills to get in... It's not that commercialization is so good, the problem now is that there are too many ancient towns of this type... It's not that commercialization is a problem, but that we haven't done a good job of differentiation."
However, all four of them are engineering students.
He has absolutely no interest in these economic matters.
Lu Yibei only mentioned it briefly before continuing to wander inside.
Since engineering students don't have much artistic flair, they simply skipped the Mu Xin Art Museum, which required a separate ticket...
Then we arrived at the "Plant Dyeing" attraction.
This section mainly showcases the ancient process of dyeing cloth.
Outside, there was a piece of cloth, over ten feet long, that had been dyed and was drying.
There are more than a dozen horses hanging there. When a breeze passes by, they move with the wind, as if they are dancing gracefully.
"…yeah?"
Xia Li is originally from Jiangnan.
Although it was her first time visiting Wuzhen, she was already used to these similar ancient towns and didn't find them interesting like the two northerners. She noticed a detail: "The blue-green cloth over there looks like your skirt."
Xia Li didn't recognize the horse-face skirt, but she thought that Ji Xuemei looked quite dashing in this outfit.
and…
Although there are quite a few people wearing Hanfu and ancient costumes here, Bei Ge's girlfriend still stands out more.
It's like someone who stepped right out of a period drama...
Yeah, and it's from the 2000s. Historical dramas from the 2010s onwards are just too bad.
"Um."
Ji Qingqian has always liked the color cyan.
She walked over.
Lu Yibei followed.
"Beauty--"
Ji Qingqian heard someone shout.
She didn't care at first, but several girls around her turned their heads, as if they thought she was calling them.
"Beauty."
But the voice was closer, and Ji Qingqian felt that the person was calling her, so she looked over and said with some surprise, "I don't know you."
The person who called her was a young man, probably around her age.
He was also holding a camera.
"May I take your picture?"
The boy smiled and asked, "I think your dress matches the fabric perfectly, and your beauty matches this ancient town perfectly."
Ji Qingqian: ...
She turned her head and glanced at Lu Yibei behind her.
Perhaps because there were too many people, the boy didn't realize that the two were together.
My girlfriend got hit on.
Lu Yibei smiled helplessly, but there was nothing he could do; his girlfriend was just too beautiful.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Yibei asked Ji Qingqian about the situation and nodded, "Go ahead and shoot, buddy. Can you give us raw footage?"
He asked the boy.
The boy was taken aback, seemingly not expecting that the ice flower already had an owner.
But he didn't give a reply; Ji Qingqian spoke first:
"Sorry, I don't want to take pictures."
Ji Qingqian wasn't really interested in being captured in someone else's camera... or rather, she wasn't completely uninterested.
The old man by West Lake took a pretty good picture of her.
Hmm... double standards.
Ji Qingqian evaluates herself, but who can say that following her own feelings is wrong?
