Where to stay in Jiashan
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Jiaxing does the sleeping for this county. Most visitors to Jiashan take a base in Jiaxing and come out for the day, which works because the two named draws, the Tomb of Wu Zhen in Jiashan and the Sun Daolin Film Art Museum, sit within reach of each other inside one county. What beds exist inside Jiashan County serve business travel more than tourism.

About Jiashan
What are the main landmarks in Jiashan?
Two registered sites anchor the county. The Tomb of Wu Zhen in Jiashan is the older, a grave kept under the name of Wu Zhen and treated as the principal piece of heritage inside Jiashan County rather than as a working temple or garden. The Sun Daolin Film Art Museum is the second, given over to film and named for Sun Daolin.
Between them they cover very different ground. One is a burial monument; the other a modern institution, and a visitor working through Jiashan in a single day can reasonably take in both without leaving the county.
What is the history of Jiashan?
Jiashan dates from 1430. The county was constituted in that year under the name Jiashan County, and both parts of that name have stayed attached to the same stretch of Jiaxing through every reorganisation since. Its heritage record runs long.
The Tomb of Wu Zhen in Jiashan stands at the older end of it, while the Sun Daolin Film Art Museum sits at the newer, so the two registered sites of Jiashan County bracket a span of several centuries between them.
Where is Jiashan?
Jiashan County covers roughly 507 square kilometres of Jiaxing, a compact block of territory carrying the name Jiashan County since 1430.
