The villagers who live in Wuzhen are as interested in the visitors as the visitors are in the ancient town.

Life imitates art in much of China's landscape, and this ancient bridge creates a watery illusion.

The open air pavilions were used for communal entertainment, where writers, actors and performers could strut their stuff.
