Picture this: cobblestone streets lined with vendors offering golden-brown fish rolls sizzling on griddles, baskets of pillowy steamed cakes dusted with sugar, and skewers of glazed shrimp glistening under the sun. Welcome to Wuzhen, a canal-laced gem in east China where every alleyway is a playground for your taste buds.
The town’s food scene is a cross between a street fair and a gourmet market—think crispy radish pastries flaking apart in your hands, aromatic pork belly simmered in soy sauce, and bite-sized cookies stuffed with sweet red bean paste. Locals here say eating is ‘a conversation with history,’ with recipes passed down for generations.
Pro tip for travelers? Arrive hungry and wear stretchy pants. Food stalls cluster near the ancient stone bridges, where you can snack on scallion pancakes while watching boats glide by. Bonus points if you try the ‘bridal dowry cakes’—a local favorite symbolizing good luck. Just don’t blame us if you end up staying for seconds (or thirds)!
