Shaoxing, a small town in the south of the Yangtze River where I am willing to slow down

Hello everyone! I went to Shaoxing recently and I loved it so much! I fell in love with it as soon as I went there, and it really lived up to its reputation! 🍃 The small bridges and flowing water, white walls and black tiles, and the early summer wind blowing through the chinaberry trees, the whole beautiful scenery seemed to have entered my heart, making me not want to leave at all! Shaoxing is really suitable for City Walk! 🍃 Slowly stroll along the stream, the stone road, the black-sailed boats, the old teahouses, every step is a picture, and time seems to slow down. This time I started from "Bajiqiaoxia Street, Yuecheng District, Shaoxing City", and walked all the way to Lu Xun's hometown, Baji Bridge, and the hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy, shuttled through the alleys, and felt the pure water town life. If you are lucky, you can also "encounter" Mr. Lu Xun! 😉 Really, Shaoxing is like a super-large Lu Xun theme park! From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Book House, the scenes in the books have all become real! Those words in my memory have turned into the scenery in front of me! I also took my books 📖 to check in. The soap trees and mulberry trees in Baicao Garden are growing very lush. The desks in Sanwei Book House are engraved with the word "early", which instantly pulled me back to elementary school! In May in Shaoxing, the chinaberry trees are about to bid farewell to spring and welcome early summer. The lavender flowers shroud the old street like clouds and mist. When the wind blows, the fragrance of the flowers floats over. Standing under the tree, the whole person seems to be surrounded by romance. I recommend going to Kong Yiji Restaurant, Bazi Bridge, and Tishan Bridge. There are many chinaberry trees there, and it is super beautiful to take pictures! When you are tired, find an old teahouse by the river, order a cup of tea, or try Shaoxing rice wine, and then have a popsicle with fennel beans. This is the taste of Shaoxing in Jiangnan~ Superb! Shaoxing is really a place I want to go again and again. The light and shadows under the trees are mottled, and the black-sailed boats are swaying gently. Does anyone understand this feeling? ! I really like this slow-paced life!
