2-Day In-depth Tour of Shaoxing | A Family-Friendly Tour That Three Generations Will Love

I have a primary school student at home. We travel by car 100 days a year on average. We came to Shaoxing this weekend. If you want to visit during the Labor Day holiday or summer vacation, please keep this nanny-level guide that even locals call an expert (covering a wide range of food, accommodation, entertainment and avoiding pitfalls) 👇🏻 —— 🚗Transportation Departing from Shanghai: 2.5 hours by car/high-speed rail to Shaoxing Station (close to the city!) Departing from Hangzhou: Subway is more convenient than high-speed rail ⚠️Avoid pitfalls: Choose Shaoxing Station > Shaoxing North Station, saving 1 hour —— 🔷My route was divided into 2 areas and I played for two days (The route has been optimized and the 0-distance parking location has been marked for everyone) Keyan Scenic Area ➜Jianhu Pioneer Bookstore ➜Keqiao Ancient Town Lu Xun's hometown ➜ Calligraphy Sage's hometown ➜ Cangqiao Street ➜ East Lake 💡Donghu Scenic Area is a 12-minute walk from Cangqiao Street and can be visited together I went there 7 years ago so I didn't plan to go there this time. —— 🔶Where to play specifically? How to arrange? ❶Lu Xun’s hometown: There are many people! Go early! The earlier the better! Otherwise, the waiting time can take up most of your day! My route: Lu Xun Wall - Lu Xun Memorial Hall - Sanwei Bookstore - Lu Xun's Former Residence - Baicao Garden. ⚠️Remember to make an appointment in advance! ❷Hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy: Few people have personally tested it! Pure photo-taking and check-in route: Grandpa’s Bookstore-Mochi-Jifang Bridge. ⚠️"Grandpa Bookstore" will close next year. ❸ Cangqiao Zhijie Street: Few people were found in person! If you want to take a Wupeng boat, you can come here! The scenery is really beautiful! ❹Keqiao Ancient Town: The scenery of the ancient town at night is much better than during the day, and there are relatively fewer people. If you have enough time, you can go to Anchang Ancient Town during the day. ❺Jianhu Lake: Few people were actually measured! The ancient Mirror Lake in Li Bai's poems is the current Jianhu Lake, which consists of three parts: Keyan, Jianhu Lake and Lu Town. The Keyan Scenic Area has a history of more than 1,000 years and is famous for its stone scenery. ❻Jianhu Pioneer Bookstore: Few people! Located on the island in the middle of Jianhu Lake and surrounded by the water of Jianhu Lake, it is really beautiful! —— 🔶Where do you live? Puqi Artland: This accommodation is really the right choice! When we arrived in Shaoxing, we encountered a strong wind and wasted most of the day unable to go out. Fortunately, there are many activities to play in 🏨, and we also made a lot of intangible cultural heritage handicrafts. The parent-child room has its own amusement facilities, which is very suitable for vacation and families with babies. The scenery is comparable to that in the scenic area. 🏨 is located on the bank of Jianhu Lake, and it is very ceremonial to check in by boat. Unfortunately, due to the weather, we were unable to experience their afternoon tea on the cruise. 🔶What to eat? Kong Yiji Restaurant and Lantingji are both famous local restaurants; Shaoxing has many delicious snacks, such as stinky tofu, drunken crab, Shaoxing three fresh delicacies, Shiwantou, rice wine popsicles, etc. 💌Tips ▫️Remember to bring Hanfu! ▫️Choose low-alcohol rice wine milk tea
