About Wuzhen lies at the north of Tongxiang City of Zhejiang Province, China. The town is divided into four zones by a cross -shaped river. Due to its warm and humid（潮湿） climate, and abundant rainfalls and sunshine, the products here are rich, making Wuzhen well-known as "the town of fish, rice, and silk".

Over more than 1, 000 years, the traditional buildings are still well preserved (vt. 保存, 维护) after crossing so many rough years. It is just like a natural museum of ancient architecture（n. 建筑物）. In the town, watercourses and flagstone（n. 石板. . 铺石路）streets extend in all directions （四通八达） and intercross （交叉）here and there.
