Finally experiencing the authentic misty Jiangnan in Shaoxing!

Walking along Cangqiao Straight Street amidst the hazy drizzle, accompanied by black-canopied boats, horse-head walls, and glistening bluestone pavement—absolutely breathtaking! Isn't this exactly the poetic scene described in Lu Xun's books? So beautiful it leaves you speechless! 📸 🚣‍♀️ [Must-Try: Black-Canopied Boat Guide] 💰 Ticket: 120 yuan per boat (whole boat price) 👫 Recommended group size: Officially seats 3, but 2 people is ideal for comfort and better photos! 📍 Location: Cangqiao Straight Street, Yuecheng District, Shaoxing ✨ Route options: [South Route] City Square → Baozhu Bridge → Shimen Bridge → Jiuwu Bridge → Qianguan Alley → City Square 🌟 Highlights: Cruise along Cangqiao Straight Street's waterways to enjoy authentic water town scenery, with traditional old streets, small bridges, and riverside homes full of local charm! [North Route] City Square → Shaoxing Hotel → Liyu Bridge → Xie Gong Bridge → Wang Yangming's Former Residence/Lü Mansion → City Square 🌟 Highlights: More cultural immersion! Pass through West Xiaolu Historical District to see unique waterside architecture, plus historical sites like Xie Gong Bridge and Wang Yangming's Former Residence. 🍜 [Food Recommendations] 1. Stinky Tofu: Must-try "Three Stinks" stinky tofu at Lu Xun's Former Residence entrance 2. Yellow Rice Wine Milk Tea: Shaoxing specialty—perfect blend of rice wine and milk tea 3. Braised Pork with Preserved Mustard Greens: Local home-style dish, perfect with rice! ☀️ [Summer Tips] 1. Bring a foldable umbrella—Jiangnan rains unexpectedly 2. Mosquito repellent is essential 3. Best boat times: early morning or evening to avoid midday heat 🚗 [Transportation] 🚄 High-speed rail: From Shaoxing North Station, ~30min taxi to Cangqiao Straight Street 🚌 Bus: Multiple lines to "City Square" station 🅿️ Parking: City Square underground parking/Fuheng Street parking lot The true essence of misty Jiangnan is all here in Shaoxing! 💕
