|||。Indulge in Shaoxing, that unknown tenderness of Jiangnan～|||Shaoxing, a water town in Jiangnan that captivates the soul, its charm is more restrained and profound than Suzhou and Hangzhou. The longing after parting is like aged wine, becoming more mellow over time. Strolling through it, the ancient simplicity and elegance are revealed between the blue bricks and black tiles. The whispers of history echo in the old streets and alleys. The boat gently sways, the water remains calm, and a series of cold yet gentle Jiangnan paintings slowly unfold before your eyes. Dreaming back to the era of Lu Xun: From the childhood fun of Baicao Garden to the tranquility of Sanwei Study, I seem to travel back to the scenes described by the master, feeling the Jiangnan sentiment of spring. Walking on the mottled stone road, holding a handful of fennel beans, sipping a bit of Shaoxing old wine, the leisure and romance of the city slowly flow between the lips and teeth. 📅Shaoxing Deep Tour·2 Days 1 Night Selected Route: Day 1: Explore the ancient charm journey —— The tranquility of Cangqiao Straight Street, the cultural imprint of Lu Xun's hometown, the gentleness of Shen Garden, the simplicity of Bazi Bridge, and the scholarly fragrance of the hometown of the Book Sage.

East Lake: A filming location for Journey to the West, where cliffs and black awning boats together paint a poetic picture of Jiangnan. Hometown of the Book Sage: The hometown of Wang Xizhi and Cai Yuanpei, every inch of land is soaked with cultural fragrance. Anchang Ancient Town: A free-entry ancient town with the aroma of cured meat and a strong sense of life, adding a touch of reality and warmth compared to Wuzhen. Cangqiao Straight Street: A microcosm of water town style, with blue stone roads and black awning boats, where the smoke of life and poetry coexist. 🏨Accommodation Recommendation: Around Lu Xun's Hometown, convenient access to various attractions, enjoying the convenience and comfort of Shaoxing. 🚗Travel Tips: For the remote Angsang Lake and Anchang Ancient Town, it is recommended to use Hello Hitch, which is economical and environmentally friendly.

Everyone can choose a weekend to travel to Shaoxing, 2 days and 1 night is enough~ My itinerary is not tiring, and it's budget-friendly, sharing it here for everyone's reference - DAY 1️⃣: Xishang Photo Shoot - East Lake - Sage of Calligraphy's Hometown DAY 2️⃣: Lu Xun's Hometown - Cangqiao Straight Street - Yellow Wine Ancient Town - 🌟Xishang Ticket: 0💰. Actually, I chose to go to Shaoxing just to take photos in Xishang. If you want to take good pictures, you can come here, but if you're just looking to enjoy the scenery, there's no need, you might be disappointed. Bamboo raft photo shoot costs 150💰 for about 1h. Xishang is far from the city center, it's convenient to take a taxi or drive yourself, just search for 'Xishang Renjia' to reach the shooting location. I took a rideshare from Shaoxing North to Xishang for 50r. 🌟East Lake Ticket: Scenic area 50r, Black-awning boat 35r Route: The black-awning boat has Line A and Line B, almost the same route, just one is round-trip, the other is one-way. If the queue is too long, you can skip the boat! Just walk to the middle of the scenic area and take pictures at the Fairy Peach Cave, it's worth it. 🌟Sage of Calligraphy's Hometown and Cangqiao Straight Street Ticket: 0💰, you can choose one of these two attractions, the scenery and food inside are almost the same, if you want to take photos, you can go to the Sage of Calligraphy's Hometown, where you can find Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. 🌟 Lu Xun's Hometown Ticket: 0💰 Remember to book online in advance if you go during holidays or summer vacation, otherwise, you won't be able to get in. I regret that I didn't manage to book even 2 days in advance, so I just wandered around the entrance. 🌟Yellow Wine Ancient Town Ticket: 0💰, directly accessible by Metro Line 1 A town overlooked by Shaoxing locals, it's great for an evening visit! There's no need to come during the day, but at night there are many performances, and this town is not commercialized, really comfortable and relaxing, away from the hustle and bustle of the city center. - 🌟Accommodation: I chose a place near the city square, convenient for traveling to various attractions by subway. 🌟Food: You can try stinky tofu, yellow wine popsicles (don't buy if over 5r! I was ripped off in the scenic area and bought one for 10r), yellow wine milk tea; smoked meats and cream small bread are optional. Also, the local delicacy 'Shao San Xian' was a rip-off for me, I ate near the scenic spot, 68r and not authentic, very sad. - If anyone has any questions, feel free to leave a message. I will patiently answer what I know, hoping to save everyone some trouble. ✌️

Hangzhou subway is directly accessible!!! Shaoxing is a very suitable place for literary and artistic youth. The small bridges, flowing water, and homes here, the harmonious coexistence of people and the natural environment here, are always telling the tranquility and elegance of this city, and it has also been naturally endowed with the attributes of play. When walking in the slanting sun and grass trees of the ancient city, ordinary lanes and alleys, you can see, learn, and realize, unknowingly, peeping into the "ideal country" of the soul. If you want to go to the south of the Yangtze River, compared to Suzhou and Hangzhou, the awning boats, stone roads, narrow alleys, small bridges and flowing water... This treasure town has all the poetic and picturesque of the southern water town, but it is not as commercialized as Suzhou and Hangzhou and there are so many tourists, but there is more comfort and tranquility. Even if it's just a simple one or two days of Citywalk, it's enough to play around the whole city of Shaoxing! The ink pool, ancient bridge, grandfather's old bookstore, and ubiquitous wall calligraphy and painting in the hometown of the sage of books, strolling among them, full of poetic and picturesque and bookishness! In Lu Xun's hometown, you can go to the same "From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Bookstore" in the Chinese textbook, take a look at where Mr. Lu Xun lived when he was a child, and you can also sit in a awning boat and feel the charm of the southern water town here. Walking in Cangqiao Straight Street, take a look at the old houses along the river, look at the beautiful scenery of the water town on Baozhu Bridge, and daze in the teahouse, it's simply too comfortable! There is a heart-shaped big tree in the historical block of West Xiaolu, which is the location of the movie "Summer of West Xiaolu", it is very quiet on weekdays, and there are also many art students to sketch. The eight-character old ancient bridge from the Song Dynasty to the present, both sides are towering camphor trees shaded by green trees, and there are some comfortable small shops scattered, coming and going here, there is really no lack of fireworks.

Shaoxing Tourism ~ Cangqiao Street, Bazi Bridge ~ ⭐ Among the ancient cities in the south of the Yangtze River, Shaoxing is a good choice. Cangqiao Street is located in Yuecheng District, Shaoxing City. On both sides of the street are Shaoxing's unique Taimen buildings, as well as many shops and restaurants. It is an ideal choice for travelers to appreciate the old charm of Shaoxing. Come here in the afternoon and you can feel the leisurely pace of life in the old street. When sailing on the black-sailed boat, you can see the smoke from cooking fires that has existed for thousands of years. This place has its own human touch that is different from other ancient cities. In the ancient streets of the ancient city, the streets are quaint, with mottled white walls and houses by the water. The scenery is pleasant. Many travelers who come here will line up in long queues on the streets waiting for a serving of Shaoxing stinky tofu, a cup of rice wine and milk tea, and a taste of Lu Xun culture, which is a combination of Shaoxing and the times. It can be said to be a journey that combines the past and the present. #There are many shops selling rice wine milk tea on the street #Wupeng is quite unique because it is worn by feet. The boatman only wears socks and no shoes. #Old Street stinky tofu is delicious #familytravel

Shaoxing. The Cangqiao Straight Street area is composed of rivers, residences, and neighborhoods. Most of the residences were built in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. Many local characteristic archways are well preserved, showing a strong water town style. When the lights are on, the night view is charming. The architectural outline outlined by the two cases of the waterway highlights the characteristics of the south of the Yangtze River. The New Year's pictures posted on the door inherit the ancient culture, and I really want to knock on the door and enter. Zhejiang snack 'Da Mian': The noodles are completely handmade, and the flour is quite particular. It needs to be dry and wet, and the rolling and beating are just right. The ingredients are special. The noodles are fresh and not astringent, oily but not greasy, and the soup is soaked with delicious flavor.

Cangqiao Straight Street is a popular tourist attraction in downtown Shaoxing, Yuecheng district. Whilst the street is packed with shops, restaurants, handicrafts, coffee shops, Shaoxing yellow wine sellers, it’s also a good place to discover local snacks and how they’re made. Surprisingly, I found long queues of people eager to taste local delicacies at every corner despite of the rain that day. I wandered in the alleys leading to the back of the street, where water canals with old Chinese architecture buildings and Wupeng boats 🛶 offer such a picturesque scenery. If you want a boat ride, there’s a wharf, a few meters from the main entrance on Guangming Road. Just walk along the canal on your left, you’ll spot it easily ✌🏼 Address ➡️ Cangqiao Straight Street, 仓桥直街 How to go ➡️ I took a taxi 🚕. The driver will most probably drop you at the main entrance or nearby. It’s a long pedestrian street so you can just walk at your ease. #urbanexplorer #oldtown #oldstreets #streetfood #streetshots #streetlife #streetart #zhejiang #shaoxing

Corner Coffee is a little artsy coffee shop along Cangqiao Straight Street. There are a few seats inside and a bunch of clothes, shoes, bags and hats on sale. The barista is accommodating and speaks English. After walking in the rain for a long time, I badly wanted a hot cup of coffee and some rest in a quiet environment away from the crowds flocking the street. I ordered a vanilla latte with oat milk which was perfect 👍🏼 Freshly made & not too sweet😌 They have other choices: Coconut latte, Hazelnut latte and the typical coffee choices. Prices are very decent. Mine was 33¥ ( 28¥ for a vanilla latte + 5¥ for oat milk) Address ➡️Corner Coffee, 犄角咖啡 Cangqiao Straight Street, 仓桥直街329号 How to go ➡️ It’s a pedestrian street, so if you’re taking a 🚕, it’ll probably drop you somewhere nearby. #coffee #coffeeshop #coffeelovers #coffeetourism #zhejiang #shaoxing #getawaytrip

🌸 Limited-Time Spring Offer｜Shaoxing's Chinese Chinaberry Blossoms: A Poetic Jiangnan Scene Awaits On Cangqian Straight Street in Shaoxing, I stumbled upon a breathtaking Jiangnan scene: wupeng boats drifted leisurely, carrying the rich fragrance of Chinese chinaberry blossoms, gliding across the shimmering water. A woman in a mamian skirt leaned gracefully against an ancient tree, her skirt swaying gently in the breeze against the cobblestone path, like a fairy from a painting. Butterflies danced among the blossoms and shadows, wind chimes tinkled from the eaves, and the air was filled with the subtle charm of Jiangnan, creating a truly relaxing experience. 📍 Location: Cangqiao Straight Street, next to the Kong Yiji Restaurant's Heritage branch, by the bridge. The Chinese chinaberry tree by the bridge is a must-see. 🚥 Transportation: 🚄 From Hangzhou: Take the high-speed train, which takes only 30 mins to Shaoxing North Station. From there, it's about a 20-min taxi ride (for a more leisurely and flexible trip, driving is recommended, as the water town scenery along the way is incredibly beautiful). 🚗 By car: Park at the City Square underground parking garage, and then it's just a 600m walk to this poetic wonderland. 🗺️ Travel Tips: 📆 Best time to see the blossoms: 🌸 Peak bloom: Mid-to-late April. The blooming period is short and precious, lasting only about 10 days! ✅ Recommended time: 7–9am. There are fewer tourists at this time, the light is soft, and you might even encounter local women washing clothes, experiencing a unique blend of everyday life and poetic beauty. 📸 Other attractions: 🔺While strolling along Cangqiao Straight Street, be sure to try the authentic yellow rice wine popsicles and stinky tofu, immersing your taste buds in the flavors of Jiangnan. 🔺Or visit Lu Xun's Former Residence, exploring the Sanwei Bookstore and Baicao Garden. In a single day, connect the classic memories of the water town and let your mind wander through the long river of history. In this Jiangnan land where Chinese chinaberry blossoms bloom, let every breath be filled with poetry and every footstep record beauty. Shaoxing in spring awaits your exploration and appreciation.

😂I always thought Xu Wei was from Suzhou until I came to Shaoxing. 🌱Perhaps this is one of the meanings of "traveling thousands of miles." · 🍀Xu Wei Art Museum and Qingteng Study are together, right on Cangqiao Straight Street. Next to them is the Shaoxing Shiye Museum, so you can take a city walk together. · 🍀Xu Wei was an outstanding talent in the Ming Dynasty, with remarkable achievements in painting, calligraphy, literature, opera, and military affairs. · 🌸Xu Wei Art Museum · 🌱The area around Cangqiao Straight Street is full of water-town-style residences. The Xu Wei Art Museum, a blend of classical and modern styles, is really eye-catching in this area. 🌱The art museum was rebuilt from the old factory buildings of the former Shaoxing Machine Tool Factory. With its white walls, cyan roof, and giant glass, it has a classical and modern design. 🌱The interior of the art museum is also a picture scroll of light and shadow, and the red plum blossoms in the courtyard are just right, like a poem and a painting. 🌱The museum displays Xu Wei's calligraphy and paintings and introduces his life. Among so many paintings, I especially love those crabs. I think Xu Wei, who loved to eat crabs, must have poured a lot of emotion into painting them~ · 🌸Qingteng Study · 🌱Qingteng Study is the place where Xu Wei lived the longest in his life full of ups and downs. It was originally the Xu family's old house, and later renamed Qingteng Study because of Xu Wei's deep admiration for green vines. 🌱The study is a courtyard-style residential building.

😳Since you are here, I will take you to a different niche check-in spot Take a walk on the stone bridge on the Ang Sang Lake, take a ride on the black-sailed boat on the East Lake, visit the former residence of Mr. Li, and finally try the special snacks. Are you sure you don’t want to visit Shaoxing like this? [Shy] 📍Location: Shaoxing, Zhejiang 🚄Transportation: High-speed rail direct to Shaoxing North Station 🗺Route: Yangyang Tea Lake (ang sang) → East Lake → Shaoxing Ancient City (the hometown of the sage of calligraphy, the former residence of Lu Xun, Cangqiao Street), please refer to P10 💰Expense: Tickets HKD90, taxi HKD105, snacks HKD41, total HKD236 [Idea] Now is the time to take out your notebook↓ 🚕As usual, let's talk about transportation first: Shaoxing North Station is located in the city. There are public transportation and you can also take a taxi. It's very convenient to take a taxi for only a few dozen yuan. Let's focus on the taxi location to Ang Sang Lake 📍Ang Sang Lake Bitang ❗️I made a strategy and planned the route map P10 in advance, so that I can play all the routes without taking a detour. 1️⃣Ang Sang Tea Lake (Ang Sang) P3 4 5 6 I can't type these two words, you can find them by typing Angsang Lake. This is a large aquaculture lake, I don't know what's raised here [Shy], you can cross the entire lake by walking on the stone bridge in the lake, spend an hour here walking and stopping, taking beautiful photos, the pace is very slow and very suitable for young people lying down [Salute] 2️⃣ East Lake Scenic Area P7 Next, we took a taxi to the East Lake Scenic Area. It used to be a quarry, no wonder there are cliffs. We took a ride on a black-sailed boat and felt the straight stone mountain. When we got tired of the boat, we climbed up. The mountain road was very high, steep and exciting. We spent 2 hours here. ❗️Oh, by the way, the entrance fee to the scenic spot is HKD50, and the boat ride is HKD40, right?🤔 3️⃣ Shaoxing Ancient City (Hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy, Former Residence of Lu Xun, Cangqiao Street) The first thing to do when arriving in the ancient city is to eat‼ ️ Follow the order of "Sage of Calligraphy" → "Lu Xun's Former Residence" → "Cangqiao Street". This order is just enough to complete a circle ⭕ You can visit all of them without missing any [Cheers]. "Sage of Calligraphy" and "Cangqiao" are more ancient and beautiful, while "Lu Xun's Former Residence" is more commercial [Smart]. Don't forget to eat snacks such as stinky tofu, noodle cakes, shredded radish cakes, and rice wine milk tea. I have to complain that rice wine milk tea is nothing special, except that milk tea has a strong taste of wine. When looking for a snack stand, it must be a shop run by grandpa and grandma, so it is authentic and delicious [Askance] 😳Finally, let me tell you about my feelings I went to Shaoxing mainly to visit Angsang Lake and East Lake. The scenery of these two places is very unique and worth visiting. Recommended [Tiptop] The feeling of the ancient town is similar to most other ancient towns. I guess I am tired of the aesthetics and don’t think it is that beautiful. But I still want to go and see the gentleman. It’s better to light a cigarette for him. There are too many people, so I just took a random photo. P11[Incapable] Well, that’s all for this sharing. I hope you like it. Bye~

Cangqiao Straight Street is located in the Yuewang City Historical District of Shaoxing. It starts from Shengli West Road in the north and ends at Lu Xun West Road in the south, with a total length of about 1.5 km. The street features rivers, residential houses, stone roads, and many traditional ancient stone bridges such as Cangqiao Bridge. The riverside is lined with water town residences from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, with 43 different types of doorways. The street is lined with shops and restaurants, as well as cultural venues such as the Yue Art Museum. Here, you can experience the Wupeng boat and taste delicacies such as stinky tofu. Cangqiao Straight Street has won the "UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Award" and is a "living showcase of Chinese heritage."

I first went to the Former Residence of Wang Yangming, which was not crowded at all. The area is home to many locals and is not commercialized at all. I was able to experience the Jiangnan water town described in my Chinese textbook. On the way to the Former Residence of Cai Yuanpei, I passed a street where fish, duck, and cured meat were hung in the shops, on the roadside, and even on the trees. It was so interesting! The Former Residence of Lu Xun was very crowded. I saw the Sanwei Study Room from my Chinese textbook and the "Zao" character carved by Lu Xun. I also saw someone dressed as Lu Xun, who looked very similar! Unfortunately, I didn't take a photo with him. I then went to Cangqiao Straight Street, which was full of food stalls and very commercialized. I passed a teahouse playing the story of Kong Yiji, which was very atmospheric.

This old restaurant in Shaoxing, a local friend brought me here, heard that it is a century-old brand reopening, and there is always a queue when passing by, the popularity... - Houkou Mantou, freshly wrapped and steamed, the meat filling is just right, one bite is not enough Sesame bun, fragrant and soft, sesame is fried very delicately - Shaoxing specialties are also well done Lou Wang stinky tofu smells stinky and braised in flavor Dried vegetable pork, pork belly is soft and glutinous Ancient sesame oil duck, slightly sweet and salty, fresh and juicy Chicken crown oil sauce, the taste of childhood Cooked drunken crab, can't eat Shaoxing's raw drunken, you can try this cooked drunken crab, full of yellow flower carving into the taste of sweet and fresh

When traveling to Shaoxing, how can you miss this intangible cultural heritage Shaoxing dish certified by Yangma? I heard it has been open for more than 20 years. This restaurant on Fuheng Street was moved from the previous Cangqiao Zhi Street. It has an antique charm and is very Jiangnan style - - Shaoxing Ten Bowls of Touhou If you can't think of something delicious, just order this one. It's a big plate. Various Shaoxing specialties are included, such as Shaoxing three delicacies, crispy fish, drunken shrimp, bad duck, drunken chicken, dried vegetable braised pork, salty fresh pork, deep-fried stinky tofu, stir-fried three shredded silkworms, and soy sauce meat. Drunken shrimp is a Shaoxing specialty with a bit of alcoholic flavor, sweet and fresh, dried vegetables and meat are fat but not greasy, and sauced meat is a must-have for Shaoxing people in winter. - Xi Shi Tofu Named after the beautiful lady Xi Shi, the tofu is well-thickened, tender and smooth, and has a rich taste with oil residue inside. - waist flower It is a test of your knife skills. It can be cut like flowers. It tastes very tender without any odor. Even the side dishes underneath are delicious.

While traveling in Shaoxing, I accidentally discovered a beautiful teahouse under Baozhu Bridge When you open the window, you can see small bridges and flowing water, and black awnings leisurely passing by. It's like a Jiangnan ink painting, a true Jiangnan as described in poetry - Order a pot of tea with some small tea snacks, choose a window seat, and enjoy tea, take photos, and chat here. It's relaxing and comfortable - There are riverside seats outside the store. When the weather is nice, you can sit here and watch the people coming and going on Baozhu Bridge. It's quiet and picturesque - When it's cold, you can also enjoy tea by the stove. Jiangnan water town, Song-style aesthetics, this is the experience of Zhao Pan'er's teahouse
