THE TOP THINGS TO DO IN JIAXING
Your hotel in Jiaxing is close to many of the top things to do in this sprawling Jiangnan city. Don't miss out on the best Jiaxing attractions, neighbourhoods, history and culture.

TEMPLE TRANQUILITY
Located deep within Wuzhen's ancient architectural complex, Nanjiadang Fuchang Temple stands as one of the region's most captivating and culturally significant landmarks, conveniently close to your apartment.
Over the centuries, this temple has evolved alongside the community, bearing witness to the timeless rhythms of life in the Jiangnan water town. Today, it rests peacefully among the old town's quiet lanes. The entrance, a classic Jiangnan-style courtyard gate with its whitewashed walls and dark tiles is easily one of Jiaxing's most recognisable images of traditional Chinese culture.
A Festival of Theatre, A Carnival of the Water Town
Recognised internationally as a cultural phenomenon of outstanding universal value, the Wuzhen Theatre Festival is a must-see experience during any stay in Jiaxing. Performers from around the world gather here to present highly stylised historical and contemporary drama performances. The best place to experience this in Jiaxing is the entire Xizha Scenic Area, which transforms into a massive stage during the festival. To get to the festival venues from your hotel in Jiaxing's Wuzhen district, a short taxi ride of approximately 2 kilometres will see you to the heart of the theatrical action.
The Grand Canal’s Vibrant Waterfront
"In the old days, life moved at a slower pace—carriages, horses, and mail were all slow..." This is not merely a line of poetry, but a philosophy of life embodied in Wuzhen.
Nestled within the West Scenic Area, the Mu Xin Art Museum is designed by a disciple of I. M. Pei, a strikingly modern, minimalist structure that spans the waters of Yuanbao Lake.
Inside, the museum houses paintings and literary works by the late Wuzhen-born artist Mu Xin, and its serene yet powerfully evocative spatial design is a work of art in itself. Built along the waterfront, it gazes across the lake at the Ming and Qing dynasties architecture on the opposite shore, offering a perfect embodiment of the dialogue between tradition and modernity. Easily accessible from your residence, this is an invitation to experience the artist's final gift to the world.
BEFORE TODAY, THERE WAS QING
Before the modern era changed the face of China forever, this region was known as the heart of Jiangnan - the seat of wealthy merchants and scholars. Today echoes of this golden age can still be found in carefully curated corners of Jiaxing, providing a unique glimpse into the region's colourful past. One of the best places to experience 'old Jiangnan' is at the Wuzhen Xizha Scenic Area. The area is a full-size reproduction of a Ming and Qing-era canal town streetscape created with exquisite detail.
It evokes the final chapter of imperial China, giving you a vivid sense of how communities in this region lived long before industrialisation reshaped the landscape.
To get to the Dongzha Scenic Area from your hotel in Jiaxing, it is a pleasant 7-minute drive away, approximately 2.4KM, from Fraser Residence Wuzhen.
DISCOVERING THE WATER TOWNS
Your serviced apartments in Jiaxing place you close to some of the region’s most iconic destinations. The Jiangnan region is not only a collection of ancient water towns but also a cultural concept shaped by centuries of history, and each town offers something unique for the curious urban explorer.
One of our top recommendations is the beautifully preserved neighbourhoods of Wuzhen, right at your doorstep. Every spring, cherry blossoms and peach flowers bloom along the waterways, transforming Wuzhen into one of the most picturesque places in Jiangnan to experience the season’s floral displays. Nearby, revitalised canal‑side cafés and boutique shops bring modern Jiangnan chic to life, offering traditional handicrafts, distinctive dining concepts, and heritage‑inspired boutiques.
You can easily spend an entire day exploring Wuzhen’s culture, scenery, and vibrant street life, and still leave wanting more.
