On March 11, a group of 160 Vietnamese tourists embarked on a two-day journey in Wuzhen, Jiaxing, Zhejiang province.

Wuzhen, acclaimed as one of China's first 10 historical and cultural towns and counted among the country's most charming locales, boasts a civilization spanning over 7,000 years and a town history of more than 1,300 years.

Renowned for its stunning water town scenery and rich historical and cultural heritage, Wuzhen offers a comprehensive blend of leisure, entertainment, dining, accommodation, and shopping.

The picturesque scenes of white walls, black-tiled roofs, and flowing streams left an indelible impression on the foreign visitors.

Speaking fluent Chinese, the Vietnamese team leader, Chen Youcai, shared, "This is my third visit to Wuzhen. The scenery here is beautiful, and the people are very friendly. Every time I come here, I go to a tea house to enjoy tea while admiring the scenery and observing Wuzhen's architecture. I'm really happy to be here."

The Vietnamese tourists especially relished the specialty dishes at the scenic area. The steaming hot local-style hotpot, featuring delicacies such as premium freshwater fish, fresh Yunnan mushrooms, and tender beef presented a delightful culinary experience.

Furthermore, on March 13, a group of 22 Thai tourists embarked on a week-long tour of China starting in Wuzhen. The quintessential Chinese charm of the water town left a profound impression on the Thai visitors, with Rat, a Thai tourist, repeatedly praising in Chinese, "It's so beautiful!"
