Which best watertown: Zhouzhuang- Nanxun - Wuzhen + travel to and from Shanghai

Hello,
I hope you can help me.
1/ I know that Zhouzhuang is the most commercial watertown but which of the three is more authentic and pretty, architecture and atmosphere wise?
2/ Also, if one has seen Suzhou, are these three towns the same thing?: if you've seen one, is it worth seeing another one?
3/If I am coming from Shanghai in the morning (by taxi? what would be the quickest option and how long would it take?) and want to leave to shanghai again in the evening, do I have enough time to visit one, or maybe even 2 of these towns?
4/ also, do yo know if the "soft sleeper" night boat ("Paradise Pleasure Boat" or another) between Suzhou to Hangzhou is still running and if yes, what are their timings in both directions please?
Thank you so much for your help!

1. Zhouzhuang is more commercial. Nanxun is more authentic and tranquil among the three. Wuzhen is larger and more beautiful.
2. Actually, these towns are similar to Suzhou. If you have seen one, it is worth seeing another because they vary in size, atmosphere, and environment.
3. Yes, you do a one day trip to Zhouzhuang.
4. I am sorry that the boat has stopped running. Instead, you can take a bullet train to shuttle between them (about 1.5 to 2 hours).
