At night, the streets of Wuzhen become noticeably quieter, with most of the remaining visitors being those staying overnight inside the scenic area. There's no need to worry about large crowds—just whether your legs can handle all the walking. Guests who stay overnight have access to a free shuttle service, while day-trippers have to rely on their own feet. It's not recommended to take the boat rides too late in the evening, as there’s not much to see in the dark.
After finishing our dinner, we spotted Tang Chao Desserts while walking toward the main entrance and decided to stop by. It wasn’t exactly that we were craving sweets or wanted something warm because of the cool weather—it was more about needing a break from all the walking and taking the opportunity to enjoy a treat. Honestly, if we hadn’t seen the dessert shop, we probably would have headed straight to the entrance and left Wuzhen Xizha to return to our guesthouse.
We ordered one bowl of red bean sesame paste and another of osmanthus lotus root starch pudding. I would recommend choosing the sesame paste—it's richer and has a better aroma, texture, and mouthfeel. The lotus root starch dessert was average. Both weren’t overly sweet, which was nice, but it would’ve been better if they were served a bit hotter, even though the bowls themselves were warmed.
While we were eating, we bumped into other Taiwanese travelers who were also staying inside Wuzhen Xizha. They were just out for a leisurely evening stroll. Since they didn’t have to rush, they could enjoy places like the bar district or tea houses with live performances. Staying overnight gives you the freedom to take your time exploring, making the experience more relaxed and enjoyable.
