Weekend Staycation | What's It Like to Stay on a Boat in Wuzhen? My first trip to Wuzhen

| What's It Like to Stay on a Boat in Wuzhen? My first trip to Wuzhen turned out to be an amazing stay at this stylish hotel—I just had to share it right away!

This is a ship-shaped hotel—The Dyke Resort Hotel, designed to echo Wuzhen's water town aesthetics, harmonizing perfectly with the traditional rowing boats.

I’d always heard that staying inside the Wuzhen scenic area was super convenient, but I never expected the experience to be this fantastic! For starters, it comes with free entry tickets—you can come and go as many times as you like, making travel effortless.

Of course, the highlight was the accommodation itself. The hotel isn’t just big—it’s downright spectacular. The service was impeccable, giving a true "home away from home" feeling. The living area and bedroom are separate, the toiletries are high-end, and they even provide a Dyson hairdryer—so luxurious!

The room views were stunning too. Through the window, you can see Wuzhen’s scenery, including the White Lotus Pagoda—truly offering a panoramic view of this ancient Jiangnan water town.

The hotel also offers unique experiences like sound bowl meditation sessions, a fitness center, an indoor heated pool, and an outdoor infinity pool. The second-floor "Dream Like a Dream" bar features live jazz music.

Dining options are diverse, with Western, Chinese, and Japanese cuisines available—perfect for a lazy day indoors.

After a hectic week, this weekend getaway felt like an escape from the world. Wuzhen has created a paradise for us—all you need to do is relax and enjoy, leaving everything else to the scenic area.
