Compared to Suzhou and Hangzhou, I love this low-key dreamlike Jiangnan even more

The Jiangnan with character must be seen in Shaoxing😉 If you haven't been to Shaoxing, maybe you can't really say you've been to Jiangnan🚣‍♀️ This city, known as the "museum without walls," was also rated by National Geographic as the most popular Jiangnan water town✨ 📍【Shaoxing Must-Visit Attractions Collection】 1️⃣ Shaoxing Lanting 🌿 The stunning secret realm of "Lanting Xu" by Wang Xizhi "Lush forests and tall bamboo, winding streams with floating wine cups"—this is the place! 100% photo-worthy in Hanfu💯 Tip: Avoid weekends when it's crowded for better photos~ 2️⃣ Angsang Lake 💦 A sheltered secret spot on an ancient Ming Dynasty waterway A great off-the-beaten-path escape! Egrets spreading wings, rippling water🐦 Highly recommend an evening stroll to watch the sunset—super romantic!🌅 3️⃣ Lu Xun's Hometown 📖 From the Hundred Herb Garden to the Sanwei Study Room in textbooks Be sure to see the "early" character on Lu Xun's desk! Step into the writer's childhood life~👨‍🏫 4️⃣ Calligraphy Sage's Hometown ✍️ Wang Xizhi's hometown is so artistic The calligraphy and painting wall by Jifang Bridge is a must-visit! The perfect place for wearing a qipao~👘 5️⃣ East Lake ⛵ The black-awning boat drifting spot from Journey to the West filming Ride the gently rocking small boat🚣‍♀️ Cool breeze flowing through the cliffs! Top choice for summer heat relief!🌊 6️⃣ Bazi Bridge 🌉 The bustling atmosphere of China's earliest overpass Local residents' daily life happens here Authentic Jiangnan living vibes to the fullest~🏮 7️⃣ Anchang Ancient Town 🥓 A thousand-year-old town fragrant with cured meats A must-visit for Shaoxing specialties! Cured duck, cured fish, fermented tofu all smell amazing~ Tip to avoid crowds: go in the evening!🌄 8️⃣ Dayu Kaiyuan 🏨 A secret hotel with few people and beautiful scenery Backed by Kuaiji Mountain, with trumpet vines in full bloom! Much more comfortable than crowded attractions~🍃 🌈【3 Days 2 Nights Travel Itinerary Recommendation】 DAY1️⃣: Calligraphy Sage's Hometown - Bazi Bridge - Cangqiao Straight Street - Fushan Park - Check in at Dayu Kaiyuan Guantang DAY2️⃣: Dayu Mausoleum - Lu Xun's Hometown - Angsang Lake - East Lake DAY3️⃣: Shaoxing Lanting - Anchang Ancient Town - Return trip 🍚【Food Recommendations】 ✔️ Yellow wine popsicle (a must-try! The slight buzz is so special🍶) ✔️ Stinky tofu (most authentic on Lu Xun Middle Road!) ✔️ Braised pork with preserved vegetables (a perfect match for rice!) ✔️ Stir-fried rice cakes with river shrimp (freshly caught and cooked🦐) 🏠【Accommodation Guide】 Highly recommend Dayu Kaiyuan Guantang! Beautiful environment and free visits In the city center, you can choose near Lu Xun's Hometown For cost-effectiveness, Atour Hotel is a good choice~ 🚗【Travel Tips】 ▪️ Taxi between attractions costs about 20 yuan ▪️ Shaoxing buses are also very convenient ▪️ Summer essentials: mosquito repellent and sunscreen umbrella ▪️ Around 600~1000 yuan per person for a very comfortable trip Shaoxing is really great to explore! Come and experience this low-key Jiangnan~💕
