Located to the north of the West Market River, there used to be a tranquil street. Rows of old wooden houses stretch to Xiu Shui Lang, leaning against the riverbank and willow trees, as if a shy and delicate young lady waiting to be married, this is ‘Nv Hong Street’ (pronounced ‘Nv Gong Street’).
Nv Hong Street is an old district with a strong traditional atmosphere. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, this place was a gathering spot for exquisite embroidery from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. Embroidery workshops characterized by this craft were established here, forming a unique ‘Embroidery Street’ in Wuzhen West Gate, also known as ‘Embroidery Workshop Street’, which is the origin of ‘Nv Hong Street’. Today, Nv Hong Street still maintains its historical appearance. There are many characteristic shops on both sides of the street, including handicrafts, wood carvings, woven products, silk products, tile paintings, hot stamping paintings, postcards, coffee shops, and dessert shops. Even if you don’t buy anything, it’s very interesting to take a stroll here. The street is open all year round and accessible 24/7.Nv Hong Street
