Travelogue
I retrieved my slowed down self deep in the West Gate
This time, I deliberately took three days to hide in Wuzhen, and instead of choosing a popular online homestay facing the street, I settled directly at the Dockside Boutique Hotel Wuzhen(In Xizha Scenic Area) located in the core of Xizha Scenic Area. I thought I was just looking for a place by the water to sleep for a few nights, but I didn't expect to stay overnight and completely release all the nerves that I usually have.
I arrived at the hotel in the evening by rowing a boat from the scenic area. As the oars cleared the water, the red lanterns on both sides lit up, their warm light breaking in the ripples, and even the wind enveloped the unique wet and soft fragrance of Wuzhen. As soon as I docked, the aunt wearing a blue printed cloth apron greeted me with a smile and picked up my suitcase. She walked along the bluestone road towards the hotel, with the faint sound of her shoes rubbing against the slate, mixed with the faint sound of clapping in the distance. The unfinished work messages on my phone were instantly forgotten by me.
Pushing open the wooden door of the water facing guest room, I was stunned. Without flashy internet celebrity decorations, the old wooden window frames, blue printed floral cloth cushions, and even the desk lamp are made of fabrics from the old dyeing workshop in Wuzhen. The whole room seems to have directly moved in a family from Wuzhen. The most wonderful thing is the small couch by the window, covered with soft cotton pads. I leaned on top of my newly bought Dingsheng cake and watched the black boat slowly pass under the window. The boatman's shout floated up the water, even slowing down the time by half a beat.
The exclusive experience that hotels provide to their guests is the most exciting part: the next morning at 6 o'clock, the hotel guide led us through the exclusive passage into the unopened West Gate. The morning mist drifted on the river, and the dyeing workshop, which was usually crowded with people, was empty. The blue printed fabric floated slowly in the wind, and we didn't even need to find angles to take photos. After strolling through the night view of Xizha in the evening, the front desk had already left me a bowl of warm osmanthus cones, sweet and silky. After walking all night, my feet immediately warmed up.
Even the small details of daily life exude the softness of Jiangnan: the bedding is made of linen texture, which feels cool on the skin. I walked along the West Gate all day, and as soon as I lay down on the bed, the soreness and swelling all over my body slowly dissipated. Even someone like me who knows beds all year round slept soundly for three nights. In the wardrobe, there are free oiled paper umbrellas and Wuzhen's unique blue printed floral cloth shawls. When it rains lightly, wearing the shawls and walking along the river, even the raindrops become gentle.
On the day I left, I dragged my suitcase on the boat and watched the lanterns in Wangjin slowly recede behind me. It was only then that I realized that I hadn't even opened the work group for the past three days. I used to think that Wuzhen was a tourist attraction for checking in, but this time I understand that Dockside Boutique Hotel Wuzhen(In Xizha Scenic Area) doesn't give you a sleeping room, it's a small nest where you can slow down steadily. The next time I want to escape the fast-paced pace, I will definitely come back here as soon as possible.Show moreSeizing the slow days of the water towns in Jiangnan
This time I came to Wuzhen for a secluded stay, I specifically chose the Dockside Boutique Hotel Wuzhen(In Xizha Scenic Area) deep in the Xizha Scenic Area instead of the noisy street side homestay. After staying for three consecutive nights, I realized that it had incorporated the gentle texture of the Jiangnan water town into every detail of my accommodation experience, becoming the most unforgettable moment of my short trip in recent years.
When I was sitting on the rowing boat in the scenic area, swaying along the river to the entrance of the hotel, the sky had just turned dark. The lanterns on the shore spread warm yellow lines along the water surface towards the distance, and the oars rowed through the ripples on the water surface, swaying the night sky in Wuzhen. The doorman was waiting for me at the dock with an oiled paper umbrella, took my suitcase, and walked along the bluestone road towards the hotel. The faint sound of stepping on the slate with the sole of his shoe mixed with the distant sound of clapping, instantly dispelling the exhaustion of the journey. At the moment of opening the door, there were no glaring lights, and the warm wooden lobby was filled with a faint sandalwood fragrance. The front desk handed me a cup of warm Hangbai Chrysanthemum tea and whispered to me that there were fewer people in Xizha at night, and walking along the river could see a night view without crowds.
The moment I pushed open the door of the guest room facing the water, I completely forgot about the outside world. The entire room is decorated with wooden window frames and blue printed fabric from Laowu Town, without any piled up internet celebrity decorations. The large area of white space makes the space appear particularly spacious and bright. The french window beside the window is facing the river. When I woke up in the morning, I saw the canoe slowly rowing under the window. The sound of boatmen's rowing gently drifted into the room, and even the wind outside the window was wrapped in water vapor and slowed down. The bedding that touched me the most was the linen texture. The bedding was skin friendly and breathable, and the mattress was soft and hard enough to support my waist and neck. I walked along the West Fence all day, and as soon as I lay down on the bed, the soreness and bloating slowly spread along my back. Even someone like me who knows beds all year round slept soundly for three nights.
Careful thoughts can be seen everywhere in the details: on the small tea table by the window, there are local Tongxiang chrysanthemums and white porcelain tea sets, making a cup of tea and sitting for a while, staring at the flowing water outside, even slowing down time. The bathroom area is equipped with a complete set of intelligent temperature control devices, with hot water coming out in seconds. After taking a shower, you can wrap yourself in a hotel customized blue printed cloth bathrobe and lean against the window to enjoy the night view, even the fragrance of osmanthus flowers in Wuzhen wafts in the wind. There are also free Hanfu and oilpaper umbrellas hidden in the wardrobe, so you don't have to rent clothes specifically. You can go directly to the river to take night photos downstairs.
The most surprising thing is the exclusive experience of the hotel, where guests can take the exclusive channel to avoid crowds. When no one is around in the morning, follow the hotel's guide to explore the unopened West Gate and see the morning mist drifting on the river. Even the dyeing workshop, which is usually crowded with people, is quiet. You can feel the most vivid Jiangnan fireworks atmosphere without the need for people to squeeze and slap the card photos.
Before, when I came to Wuzhen, I always rushed to check in at the scenic spots and packed my schedule. However, this time when I checked into Dockside Boutique Hotel Wuzhen(In Xizha Scenic Area), I realized that the best experience in Jiangnan is never rushing, but finding a place to stay hidden in the water lane, slowing down, and gradually blending the softness of the water town into my own day. Next time I come to Wuzhen, I will definitely stay here again.Show more
