Wuzhen - one of the watertowns around Shanghai

Who wants to spend entrance ticket for going to a town?! Sometimes some towns are actually museums. Not knowing that, instead of looking for a ticket, it fealt more reasonable climbing over a small fence at the shade of late evening to get into the town.
Only some 15 minutes later it came clear when looking for a guesthouse and meeting security guy, how this place operates.
Anyway this museum actually offered also accommodation... of course after getting kicked out by security and getting back in with a ticket.

Streets less crowded, this dosn't really happen on real towns... but in museums everything is possible.
