So far, my favorite travel city has appeared...

Compared to Suzhou and Hangzhou, I love this low-key real Jiangnan more! When you open the map of Shaoxing, the Jiangnan water town is visualized... Take advantage of the upcoming short holiday and visit Jiangnan again~ - 【🗺️ Shaoxing 2-day and 1-night travel route】 Day 1: Lu Xun's Former Residence - Qingteng Shuyu - Cangqiao Direct Street - Xixiaolu - Yangming's Former Residence - Jiemin Library - Shusheng's Former Residence - Bazi Bridge Day 2: Shaoxing East Lake - Angsang Lake Bridge - Shaoxing North Station - 🌟 Recommended attractions 1️⃣ Lu Xun's Former Residence: From Hundred Grass Garden to Sanwei Bookstore, from textbooks to reality, it's like a dialogue with time and space. There are interesting statues and surrounding products of Xun Ge in Hundred Grass Garden, which are suitable for gifts to friends. - 2️⃣ Cangqiao Direct Street: Walking on the stone road and watching the black-covered boats coming and going on the lake, isn't this Jiangnan Water Town? - 3️⃣ Jiemin Library: Liu Shishi's same style photo machine position, it's very quiet and very photogenic. - 4️⃣ Shusheng's Former Residence: Wang Xizhi's former residence is here, and the style of the year has been preserved. The Ti Shan Bridge and Mochi are suitable for taking pictures. - 5️⃣ East Lake: One of the must-visit attractions in Shaoxing, the black cliffs on the East Lake are like ink paintings, very suitable for shooting ancient styles. - 6️⃣ Angsang Lake: Far away from the city center and close to Shaoxing North Station, the ancient towpath connecting the two banks is very distinctive. It can only be photographed with a drone, so it is not recommended to go there specially. - 💡 Travel tips: 1️⃣ Shaoxing's attractions are relatively concentrated, and the first day's itinerary can basically be citywalk... 2️⃣ You can try Shaoxing's rice wine milk tea/coffee/ice cream, stinky tofu, which are very local. 3️⃣ Most of the old city areas of Shaoxing are guesthouses without elevators, which are not suitable for friends with luggage.

|||。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.

Shaoxing Travel Guide | 2 Days and 1 Night, Budget Travel! Not Tiring! (With Tips)

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. ✌️

Compared to Suzhou and Hangzhou, I have a deeper affection for this understated dreamland of Jiangnan

Compared to Suzhou and Hangzhou, I have a deeper affection for this understated dreamland of Jiangnan. The first time I visited Shaoxing, I experienced a different kind of Jiangnan with its green tiles, small bridges over flowing water, and slow-moving black-awning boats. It doesn't have the fame of Hangzhou or Suzhou, but it has more cultural history and the essence of everyday life, preserving a quiet and methodical daily routine. I truly feel this place is more suitable for leisure and relaxation. Recommended Itinerary Day1: Cangqiao Straight Street, Lu Xun's Hometown, Bazi Bridge, the Hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy, and Lanting Day2: East Lake, Angsan Lake, Anchang Ancient Town, and then return trip Here are a few check-in spots, it's recommended to save them Lu Xun's Hometown: ①From textbooks to reality, read the master's books, visit the master's hometown, and experience the Jiangnan described in the master's writings. ❷Angsan Lake: Walking on this delicate ancient path, enjoying the breeze and a chat, is very relaxing~ ❸Sage of Calligraphy's Straight Street: The cultural atmosphere is very strong, with calligraphy elements visible everywhere on the walls. Walking along the river, there are beautiful scenes everywhere. ④Lanting Scenic Area: The beautiful secret realm described by Wang Xizhi, with the goose pond, bamboo forest, and ancient pavilions, fully displays the splendor of Chinese aesthetics! ❺Anchang Ancient Town: A free ancient town full of life, with streets full of soy sauce ducks, cured sausages, and printed cakes, giving a feeling of the New Year. Photo Time: Be sure to check the weather forecast before going out! The effect on cloudy days is very poor, and getting up early can help avoid the crowds. Accommodation Recommendation: Most of the scenic spots in Shaoxing are close together, so staying near Lu Xun's Hometown is convenient for transportation and dining. Transportation: You can take the high-speed train directly to Shaoxing North Station, or the train to Shaoxing Station. If you're driving from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, or Shanghai, it's about 1h-2.5h.

From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Study Room!

Since middle school, I have been deeply attracted by the scenes described by Mr. Lu Xun in "From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Study Room." This time in Shaoxing, I finally saw Mr. Lu Xun's ancestral residence, former residence, Baicao Garden, and Sanwei Study Room with my own eyes. It was as if the childhood fun and reading sounds of the past were right in front of me. I tasted Kong Yiji's fennel beans and dined at Xianheng Hotel. Mr. Lu Xun single-handedly boosted Shaoxing's tourism industry. This is the charm of a great literary and ideological master.

Shaoxing--Huzhou--Hangzhou

Special forces travel, sweating like rain, Zhejiang weather is too hot. Shaoxing: Ciwu noodles are not tasty, maybe I'm not used to it. Went to Angsang Lake, Shusheng's Hometown, Lu Xun's Hometown, Cangqiao Straight Street, Shen Garden, Xu Wei Art Museum. Huzhou: Got off at the high-speed rail station and went straight to Fisherman's Wharf. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, and the scenery was not good. Then on the way back, went to Yishang Street, which is a street full of snacks. In the evening, went to Xiaoxi Street, which had few people and I didn't find it interesting. Nanxun Ancient Town. Hangzhou: Took the high-speed rail to Hangzhou West, first went to Hangzhou Botanical Garden, Faxi Temple, and West Lake. I toured West Lake starting from the west side, Yang Gong Causeway, and then went to Hubin IN77 for a meal.

After traveling for 5 years, I've been to Shaoxing 7 times and my heart still flutters

In the 5th year of traveling, I visited Shaoxing 7 times, averaging once or twice a year. I love the Jiangnan region, but I love Shaoxing even more. I've always been fond of Jiangnan since I was young, and as soon as I grew up and could travel on my own, I went to Jiangnan countless times, but it was always Hangzhou and Suzhou, never Shaoxing. It wasn't until the autumn of 2017, while sitting on the high-speed train from Yiwu to Hangzhou, that I passed by a city with pink walls, black tiles, and small bridges over flowing water, which struck my heart. I quickly took out my phone to check the map - where was this place? The map showed it was Shaoxing. From that moment on, the initial image of Shaoxing took root in my heart. Three months later, I made a special trip to Shaoxing. As the year was drawing to a close, the winter in Shaoxing was misty with drizzling rain. Walking on the stone-paved roads with an umbrella, looking at the old residential buildings on both sides of the river, I felt a warm and familiar sensation, as if I had been there before. Ah, this is the Jiangnan in my heart. I had been searching for Jiangnan in Hangzhou and Suzhou, not realizing that the real Jiangnan was in Shaoxing. Pushing open the wooden door of the homestay I had booked in advance, the decoration of the old Shaoxing residence greeted me. The flower and pot on the table, the dim light... I seemed to have walked into the old times of Shaoxing. Holding a pot of warm, fine Shaoxing yellow wine given by the owner, I took a sip. It warmed my heart and stomach, and my first date with Shaoxing began amidst this tender warmth. For the first time, I visited Shen Garden, exploring the love story of Lu You and Tang Wan. During my studies, I had shed tears over their love and hate several times. Now, walking among the grass and trees of Shen Garden, I imagined their feelings and appearances back then. For the first time, I visited the former residence of Lu Xun, the Sanwei Study. Finally, I arrived at the master's hometown. It was so beautiful. Although Lu Xun's writing was powerful, his family home was so gentle and graceful. For the first time, I visited Kong Yiji's tavern, chewing on fennel beans and revisiting Kong Yiji's articles, imagining the scenes of that time, and feeling deeply moved. For the first time, I visited the Orchid Pavilion, seeing where Wang Xizhi wrote the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion. Reading the Preface inscribed on the Orchid Pavilion stele, although I had read it countless times, this time was different. The artistic conception was profound. For the first time, I visited the ancient town of Anchang. The festive atmosphere of the town amazed me. Rows of cured meat, soy sauce ducks, and the extended market along the river with a dazzling array of New Year goods suddenly brought back the atmosphere of celebrating the New Year in my childhood. It was wonderful. For the first time, I tasted Shaoxing cuisine and couldn't stop ever since. Endless nostalgia, my favorites are drunken chicken, drunken shrimp, and 'Shaoxing Three Delicacies.' I eat them every time I go. I love Shaoxing cuisine so much, the aftertaste lingers. For the first time, I tasted Shaoxing's pastries, sticky and sweet, with a rich variety. Truly a paradise for heavy sticky food lovers. For the first time, I tasted Shaoxing's yellow wine popsicle, only then realizing that popsicles could be spiked with alcohol. The taste was incredibly unique, quite intoxicating. For the first time, I took a ride on Shaoxing's black-awning boat, slowly swaying between the rivers, watching the black and white old buildings on both sides, immersed in the misty rain of Jiangnan, romantic feelings surged, making one unable to resist expressing them in words. For the first time, I walked through Shaoxing's old alleys, seeing the coal stoves outside the pink-walled and black-tiled old houses, watching the old grandmother washing clothes in the river, observing the handwritten signs of the yellow wine shops, and the time-honored pastry shops. This is the lively atmosphere of old Shaoxing, seeping into one's heart. For the first time, wearing a cheongsam and holding an oil-paper umbrella, I took my first set of retro photos on the old alley's bluestone road, which reminded me of Dai Wangshu's 'Rain Alley' and the girl with the oil-paper umbrella. Shaoxing encapsulates the scenery of Jiangnan, the misty rain of Jiangnan, the poetic charm of Jiangnan, the grace of Jiangnan, the small bridges and flowing waters of Jiangnan, the stories of Jiangnan. Once I came here, I could never let go of Shaoxing. Until the 7th visit, my feelings for Shaoxing remained as before, as fresh, curious, and affectionate as the first time I stepped into Shaoxing. The 7 times are not the point, I will come again~
