There is also Baicao Garden, which is about the size of four basketball courts. Sanwei Study is smaller and has a portrait of Shou Jingwu. 📝Tips: Don't come on rainy days.

    Sanwei Study Room

    Sanwei Study Room is a famous private school in Shaoxing in the late Qing Dynasty, and it is also where Lu Xun studied from the age of 12 to 17. It is located at No. 11 Duchangfangkou. The teacher, Shou Jingwu (also known as Jinghu), was an upright, simple, and erudite person. His character and academic spirit left an unforgettable impression on Lu Xun. Shou Jingwu taught here for 60 years, and the architecture, interior furnishings, and surrounding environment have basically maintained their original appearance. The Shou Family House is the residence of Lu Xun's teacher, Mr. Shou Jingwu. Shou Jingwu (1849–1930), whose name was Huaijian and courtesy name was Jingwu, was a learned scholar. He was upright, honest, and serious about teaching. He despised fame and fortune, and after passing the imperial examination, he never took the exam again, devoting his life to teaching. He once said to Lu Xun, "Zhou Shuren, I hope you continue to work hard." Lu Xun praised him as "the most upright, simple, and erudite person in the city" (see Lu Xun's "From Hundred Grass Garden to Sanwei Study Room" in "Dawn Blossoms Plucked at Dusk"). The Shou Family House was purchased by Shou Jingwu's grandfather, Fenglang, during the Jiaqing period, with a total construction area of 795 square meters. It faces a small river, with a stone bridge for access, and there is a bamboo garden to the west. The entire building faces the Zhou Family House across the river, and the famous Sanwei Study Room is located in the east wing of the Shou Family House.

    A day trip to Shaoxing.

    Shaoxing Day Trip🍃 🚄: Taizhou Station → Shaoxing North Station 🏨: Home Inn (Cangqiao Zhijie Branch) 1⃣️Arrived a night early, left my luggage and went to Cangqiao Zhijie. The old street was very popular, and there were too many people at the famous stinky tofu stall, so I just bought from a random stall (the tofu was very crispy, but we put too much sauce and it became too salty). I also bought a rice wine popsicle, which had a rice wine aroma but not too strong, just the way I like it~ 2⃣️Had a late-night snack at Wang's Steamed Dumplings. I ordered dried vegetable steamed dumplings (the dried vegetables were quite fragrant, but a bit greasy after eating too many) and pan-fried tofu buns (the skin was a bit thick, but the filling was quite fragrant). Many people also ordered lamb bones. 3⃣️The next day, I slept in until I woke up naturally and set off for Lu Xun's Former Residence. I was hot from Baicao Garden to Sanwei Bookstore~ Following the crowd, I went to the must-visit spot: take a photo with Mr. Lu Xun and light a cigarette🚬 (if you can wake up early, it's recommended to come early, as there will be fewer people and it will be cooler). 4⃣️For lunch, I ate at a local treasure restaurant recommended by locals: Private Fengwei. I ordered dried vegetable ribs, Shaoxing Three Treasures (super large portion, very delicious), and oil-fried prawns (the most recommended, so fragrant). 5⃣️In the afternoon, I visited the Eight Character Bridge, the Former Residence of the Sage of Calligraphy, and Cai Yuanpei's Former Residence (there are many other attractions such as Shenyuan, Shaoxing Museum, and Wang Yangming's Former Residence, but we didn't have time to visit them, so you can plan your own itinerary). In general, the route is a big loop, and the distance between each attraction is not far. It's recommended to wait until the weather is cooler to experience the Jiangnan described by Lu Xun~

    Shaoxing Baicaotang

    I learned about this place through Lu Xun's literary works in my elementary school Chinese textbook. This time, I finally came to Shaoxing Baicaotang, the background of Lu Xun's literary works. It feels like traveling back to Lu Xun's childhood, experiencing his growth environment. Shaoxing not only has a rich cultural heritage but also unique ancient town charm. Walking on the roads paved with bluestone slabs, you can feel the strong atmosphere of everyday life. In addition, you can enjoy local delicacies, as the local environment nurtures its people, each with its own unique characteristics, such as the black awning boats and stove-boiled tea, allowing you to truly feel the charm of the Jiangnan water town.

    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~
