Let's go visit Lu Xun's hometown together. Let's go!

Shaoxing Travel Guide 🌟📌 Must-Visit Attractions 1. Lu Xun's Native Place Lu Xun's Former Residence, Hundred Plant Garden, Three-Flavor Study Room, free admission, reservation required. ⭐️ Must-do: Experience the black-awning boat from Lu Xun's writings (about 60 yuan/boat). 2. Shen Garden - Song Dynasty garden, birthplace of Lu You and Tang Wan's "Phoenix Hairpin" love story, 40 yuan daytime admission, 80 yuan night tour (includes Yue Opera performance). 3. Cangqiao Straight Street - Shaoxing's old district, bluestone paths + white walls and black tiles, street food hub, even more beautiful at night. 4. East Lake - Boat tour around steep cliffs and unique rocks, 50 yuan entrance fee, 40 yuan boat fare, known as a "landscape bonsai" of Jiangnan. 5. Anchang Ancient Town Free (some attractions charge fees), authentic water town, famous for sausages and marinated duck, perfect for photography. 6. Lanting (A must for calligraphy enthusiasts) Birthplace of Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion," 70 yuan entrance fee, serene bamboo forest. 🍜 Authentic Local Food Yellow rice wine series: Yellow wine popsicles (5 yuan), yellow wine milk tea (15-20 yuan), yellow wine pudding. Shaoxing stinky tofu: "Old Street Stinky Tofu" on Cangqiao Straight Street is the most famous. Fennel beans: The same snack Kongyi Ji ate in Lu Xun's writings, perfect with yellow wine. Preserved vegetable braised pork: Savory dish that pairs well with rice, a must-order at restaurants. Ciwu handmade noodles: Chewy handmade noodles, three-delicacy flavor recommended. 🚗 Transportation Guide High-speed rail: Shaoxing North Station (a bit far from downtown), about 20 minutes from Hangzhou to Shaoxing. Within the city: Subway Line 1 (Lu Xun's Native Place, City Square stations), bus/taxi (starting fare 10 yuan), walking or shared bikes recommended as attractions are concentrated. 🏨 Accommodation Recommendations High-end: Shaoxing Dayu Kaiyuan Guantang Hotel (converted from an ancient village). Value for money: Guesthouses near Lu Xun's Native Place/Calligraphy Sage's Hometown, 150-300 yuan. 📅 Best Seasons Spring and autumn (March-May, September-November): Pleasant weather, ideal for strolling through the water town. Winter: Anchang Ancient Town's Lunar Month Festival, strong New Year atmosphere. 💡 Useful Tips 1. Make reservations for Lu Xun's Native Place and Shen Garden in advance, crowded during holidays. 2. Wear comfortable shoes! The stone pavements in old districts can be hard on feet. 3. If you enjoy cultural sites, add **Calligraphy Sage's Hometown** (Wang Xizhi's former residence) and Keyan Scenic Area (Lu Town Drama). 4. Souvenirs: Shaoxing yellow wine, preserved vegetables, Anchang preserved products. One-day route: Lu Xun's Native Place → Shen Garden → Cangqiao Straight Street → East Lake Two-day tour: Day 1 city attractions, Day 2 Anchang Ancient Town/Lanting Shaoxing isn't large, slow travel helps you better experience the Jiangnan charm! 🚤🍶
