#chinatrip #shaoxing Visiting Lu Xun's Native Place on a hot autumn day was like stepping into the world of one of China's greatest literary figures, despite the bustling crowds. The streets were filled with visitors eager to trace the roots of Lu Xun’s life and works, creating a lively yet nostalgic atmosphere. As I wandered through the well-preserved old houses, ancestral halls, and historical landmarks, I could almost picture the scenes of Lu Xun’s childhood, which would later inspire his powerful writings. The heat of the day was softened by the charm of the traditional architecture—whitewashed walls and dark-tiled roofs, set against the golden glow of the season. Though crowded, the energy of the place added to its vibrancy, reminding me of the enduring influence of Lu Xun’s legacy. Amid the hum of tourists, there was a quiet reverence for the man who had shaped modern Chinese literature, making the visit both meaningful and memorable

It’s another good day to live up to the weekend trip Departed from Ningbo city yesterday afternoon ❶h🚘We arrived at this secret place of cypress water forest🌲 I really like it more than the redwood forest in Siming Lake 🈶The broken ship sunk on the shore, the open embankment, the path leading to the water 📷There are many elements for taking pictures Especially at sunset and dusk, this patch of cypress trees is all Maillard color. It’s really beautiful. More importantly, there are few people here‼ ️ Compared to the crowded Siming Lake next door, this place is so quiet. 🍁Navigation Ma'ao Reservoir (Shangyu, Shaoxing) is only a 7-minute drive from Siming Lake Metasequoia Wetland in Yuyao. You can check in together. 🍁A path that leads directly to the water is really amazing (the road where the water level lowers and is exposed to the water) is very impressive when photographed from a drone. Children should try not to get close to the water and pay attention to their safety‼ ️ 🍁Photo📷Taken on December 8, 2024. The redwood forest is in full bloom. It is estimated that it will last for 1-2 weeks. If you want to go, go early. There will be more people on weekends. 🍁I watched it yesterday. The sunset light is best before 16:30. After that, the sun is blocked by the mountains. 🍁The Siming Lake Metasequoia Forest has added a new tourist plank road this year. There are many tourists. I drove forward for a while and saw many small intersections that I could turn into. The scenery is also beautiful.

It is the Cangqiao Straight Street Historic District in Shaoxing, which some netizens call "a living display of Chinese heritage" and won the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Cultural Heritage Conservation Award in 2003. Rivers, houses, and roads are its core components, and the old streets in the center of the old city are its most recognized symbol.

Shaoxing Anchang Ancient Town: A poetic journey back to the Jiangnan region! I used to think Wuzhen was already moving enough, until I stepped into Anchang Ancient Town in Shaoxing, and deeply realized what a real Jiangnan water town is. Here, the rice wine is mellow, the awning boat is leisurely, and I seem to have traveled through time and space, and came to an ancient world where the soul can settle. Walking on the bluestone road, there are antique old houses on both sides, and the alley is silent, as if time has slowed down here. Every step is stepping on the echo of history, and every eye can capture the traces of the years. Next, let me share a few shooting positions that should not be missed according to the carefully planned route: 🔸The corridor opposite the Bank of China: This is an excellent place to shoot the awning boat shuttling on the water. Wait for the boat to slowly pass by, and you will be able to capture a satisfactory picture. 🔸Opposite Renchang Soy Sauce Garden: The antique flavor of the soy sauce garden and the surrounding water town scenery complement each other, making it an ideal place to shoot traditional Jiangnan style. 🔸Clara Coffee to the east of the river: From here, you can capture the vivid scenes of the sparkling river and the swaying boats, adding a touch of agility to the photos. 🔸Hongzhi Bridge to the east: The scenery at the bridge head has a different charm, and it is an excellent angle to shoot the panoramic view of the ancient town. 🔸Anchang National Customs Museum: The museum displays a wealth of ethnic culture and historical relics, and is a good place to record the cultural features of the ancient town. 🔸Temple Bridge: Shooting the flowing water and boats under the bridge through the eaves can capture the unique style of the Jiangnan water town. 🔸Anchang Bridge: This is the best place to shoot the cruise terminal. The boats come and go, and the voices are full of life. 🔸The corridor between Temple Bridge and Hongzhi Bridge: The corridor is full of fireworks, and it is a good place to capture the daily life scenes of the residents of the ancient town. 🔸Sanban Bridge: The unique bridge structure and the reflection on the water complement each other, making it the best choice for shooting the scenery of the ancient town. 🔸Next to Ankang Bridge: The Ankang Bridge at night has a different flavor, with dim lights and rippling water, making it an excellent place to shoot night scenes. 👉🏻In Anchang Ancient Town, every place is a landscape, and every moment is worth recording. I hope these shooting positions can add more beautiful memories to your Jiangnan trip.

The Shaoxing Shangyu Marriott is located in Shangyu District, Shaoxing, far from the traditional downtown area of Shaoxing and close to Shaoxing East Railway Station. The hotel opened in 2023 and features the new generation of Marriott decor and furnishings, incorporating "Yuefeng Yuyun" for a unique design. Rooms I have stayed in both the suite and the executive room at this Marriott. The rooms really prove the saying "stay in the new, not the old". The new generation of Marriott decor and furnishings, whether in the suite or the executive room, the rooms are large enough and all have floor-to-ceiling windows, equipped with large-screen TVs, smart toilets, air purifiers, automatic curtains, and Dyson hair dryers. The marble and wood decor is a bit cold in tone, but overall it is simple and atmospheric. The floor lamps, decorative paintings, bathroom cabinets, etc. are all integrated with a new Chinese style design, which enhances the style. Facilities The hotel's public area decor is the same as the overall style of the rooms, with a modern and simple style incorporating a new Chinese style. The lobby has a very high ceiling and is very atmospheric. The gym is fully equipped, and the swimming pool is equipped with a steam room and sauna. The executive lounge is on the 25th floor and offers desserts, fruits, soft drinks, tea, etc. The M bar on the 5th floor offers cold meals, drinks, and a Russian singer in residence. The bar has a strong design sense and is very photogenic. It's nice to go to the bar and listen to some music. Service I personally feel that the overall service is up to standard, the concierge is proactive, and the waiters can also proactively say hello when they meet on the road. The hotel rooms were full on the day of check-in, and there were no suites. I was arranged in an executive room, which was quite generous.

Visit Shaoxing | Two Must-Visit Free Ancient Towns❗️ Having been to Shaoxing n+ times I've been to quite a few paid and free attractions But for ancient towns, I prefer the authentic ones Wupeng boat rides White walls and black tiles Clear water and green banks... Spent a weekend in Keqiao for two days and one night Strolled around two free ancient towns near the hotel Great to visit and photograph! And not too crowded on weekends 📍Luzhen Part of the three major areas of the Keyan Scenic Area, but it is indeed free to enter. Most tourists will buy tickets to visit Jianhu and Keyan, but the Luzhen outside the ticket office is just as impressive! And there are really few people❗️ With layers of green tiles and white walls, stone arch bridges connect across, and the green rivers shimmer, every quiet spot feels three-dimensional. It will be even more beautiful when the lotuses bloom later! If you want to visit the other two areas, you can also go directly to the pier to take a boat 📍Keqiao Ancient Town One of the famous water towns in Zhejiang, now it's more like a large open-air mall 'dressed' in a retro style, with many old Shaoxing restaurants. Many shops have set up tables and chairs by the river, and the tea snacks are all nicely arranged Although commercial, I still have a good impression of this place because it retains the charm of an ancient town, even the summer activities are decorated in an antique style 🚗About 2.5h drive from Hangzhou 💡Other nearby attractions Kuishan, Jiaobo Ski Resort, Lanting, Anchang Ancient Town...

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. ✌️

Hi~ I am Jiangnan Jun~ As someone who has lived in Hangzhou for 7 years, Shaoxing is a city I often visit. No matter the season, or whether it's sunny or snowy, I always find myself going to Shaoxing every now and then. To decompress, to heal, and to enjoy the slow pace of life, These are the reasons why I like Shaoxing. As a low-profile city in the south of the Yangtze River, Mr. Mu Xin once said, 'To see the bony south of the Yangtze, one should look at Shaoxing.' I want to sincerely recommend Shaoxing to everyone, But I also fear it becoming overcrowded. Regardless, I still want to share my beloved Shaoxing. ✅犭央犭茶 Lake (Pictures 1-3) Also known as Angsang Lake, built during the Ming dynasty as a wind-sheltering stone causeway for ancient towpaths, it has a beautiful legend and is now a less crowded and scenic spot for taking great photos. ✅Ancient Towpath (Pictures 4-5) Located next to the Light Textile City Avenue in Keqiao District, stretching from east to west for more than 40 kilometers, it was the route where ancient people towed boats, and nearly 1 kilometer of it is still well preserved today. ✅East Lake (Pictures 6-7) Famous for its clever combination of cliffs, caves, stone bridges, and lake surfaces, it is one of the three famous lakes in Zhejiang, known as 'the wonder within the lake.' ✅West Xiaolu (Pictures 8-9) It seems to be a Jiangnan water town forgotten by Shaoxing, with buildings densely packed as seen from Feiyi Building Mountain, resembling a real-life 'Hundred Views of Jiangnan.' ✅Hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy (Pictures 10-11) It is the hometown of Wang Xizhi, the Sage of Calligraphy. I remember it being quite deserted a few years ago, but now it has become crowded, and some spots are hard to capture without people in the frame. ✅Lanting (Pictures 12-13) The 'flowing cups on the winding stream' described by Wang Xizhi is here, and the Goose Pond is also the inspiration for his 'Zhi' character. ✅Anchang Ancient Town (Pictures 14-15) Open for free, the number of visitors has been increasing in recent years, and I hope it can maintain its lively local atmosphere. ✅Bazi Bridge (Picture 16) An ancient water overpass, more significant historically than scenically, but the nearby Guangning Bridge Straight Street is very charming. ✅Fushan Park (Picture 17) You can visit the Shaoxing Museum and Yuewang Terrace at the foot of the mountain, and Fushan Straight Street is also a local street full of life. ✅Cangqiao Straight Street (Picture 18) Ancient residences built along the river, in the typical style of Jiangnan water towns, the street is full of Shaoxing's specialty snacks like stinky tofu, cream Xiaopan, and yellow wine popsicles. 👤I am Jiangnan Jun, traveling on the road~ A travel blogger & landscape photographer Sharing outdoor life | Travel tips | Photography spots There's more pictures and tips on my homepage, thank you for following.

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.
