About Wuzhen Wuzhen lies at the north of Tongxiang City of Zhejiang Province, China. The town is divided into four zones by a cross-shaped river. Due to its warm and humid（潮湿） climate, and abundant rainfalls and sunshine, the products here are rich, making Wuzhen well-known as "the town of fish, rice, and silk".

Much of the fame of Wuzhen Town can be attributed （vt.把...归因于 ） to Mao Dun, a great modern writer and the first cultural minister of the People‘s Republic. Born in Wuzhen, Mao has described the town with great warmth in several of his novels, and his former dwelling（n.住处.住宅） is preserved here.
In the town, watercourses and flagstone（n.石板..铺石路）streets extend in all directions （四通八达） and intercross （交叉）here and there. The native residents live peacefully in their old houses by water, just like their ancestor do before a long time.
In Wuzhen, you can enjoy the rich food culture of the ancient town. Two group dining halls and many large and small restaurants will provide catering service of high and low prices for you to choose. There are also local snacks and foreign cuisine to satisfy your appetite.
If Wuzhen in the daytime gives you an original taste of water town in Jiangnan, it will bring you a totally different flavor (n.韵味..风味)in the night.
This small town, with its black tiles （n.瓦;瓷砖;地砖）and timber（n.木材） framework （n.构架，骨架）houses, contrasts sharply with its white walls and gray flagging, bringing to mind a Chinese ink and wash painting
Over more than 1,000 years, the traditional buildings are still well preserved (vt.保存, 维护) after crossing so many rough years. It is just like a natural museum of ancient architecture（n.建筑物）.
