# Wuzhen 24h Guide | Stay in a Jiangnan Ink Painting (Day Tour)

Wuzhen, a water town where people live by the river, is not only the hometown depicted by Mao Dun but also the epitome of Jiangnan in my heart. Cobblestone paths, rowing boats, and blue calico fabric—every frame looks like a beautiful ink painting.
