Stop at the Hundred-Bed Museum (Zhao Hall), the first museum in China to collect and exhibit ancient beds of the Yangtze River delta area.

Wuzhen- the Venice in the east. I enjoyed the traditional houses built along the river and the peaceful life style. What's more, they got many nice halls to display the original workshops. The night view in West Part is really unique.
