Come to Shaoxing, follow Lu Xun's footsteps to escape the summer heat, a new way for family trips

Lu Xun's hometown Shaoxing is amazing! Kids, Shaoxing, this "living thousand-year-old city," has truly captured my heart! Unlike other places, Shaoxing is not just about beautiful architecture; even the air is filled with the intoxicating aroma of yellow wine🍶 Yellow wine popsicles, yellow wine milk tea, yellow wine ice cream, and even stinky tofu dipped in yellow wine sauce—who wouldn't say this unique flavor is fantastic? There’s also the free-to-enter Xu Wei Art Museum, with its simple yet grand black-and-white architecture, perfect for artistic photos📸 Why strongly recommend Dongyueli Hotel (Shaoxing Lu Xun’s Former Residence Cangqiao Straight Street Branch)? 👇 - Prime location: just a 10-minute walk to Lu Xun’s Former Residence, only 800 meters from Zhou Enlai’s Former Residence, with all nearby attractions easily accessible—super convenient~ - 🌉 Water fun + scenic views: right at the hotel entrance is the main route of the city moat’s Wupeng boats, with kayaks available for a fun water ride, and the beautiful scenery along the way is perfect for endless photos📷 - 🍵 Thoughtful perks: welcome fruit and cold brew tea afternoon tea upon check-in, free fishing in the lobby, so even with kids you can enjoy a relaxing time~ - 😸 Cute cats on duty: healing cats in the lobby, a paradise for cat lovers, kids will be thrilled~ - 🚲 Free travel convenience: 3 free bicycles ready, ride 300 meters to Cangqiao Straight Street to try all the local specialties; 200 meters to Fushan Park to explore the thousand-year history of King Goujian’s palace. - 📸 Popular photo spot: rooms face the famous Baozhu Bridge, no need to queue for a spot, you can take stunning photos dominating your social feed right from your room~ 👉 Click below to book this rare Shaoxing treasure hotel! 💦 Come to Shaoxing this summer and unlock the joy of "water and land double play"! During the day, take a Wupeng boat tour on East Lake and marvel at the boatmen’s superb skill of paddling with their feet; At night, go to Yellow Wine Town to DIY yellow wine whiskey, then watch an immersive comedy "The Gold Dredging Banquet." After a fun day, return to the hotel, ride a free bike to Cangqiao Straight Street for some creamy Xiaopan, and enjoy the stunning night view of Baozhu Bridge from your room.
