Former residence of Zhimo Xu

Got 24 hours in Haining, Zhejiang? Don’t sleep on this underrated gem! 🎨👟 From wandering charming old streets to going full DIY with local crafts, here’s how to make the most of your Haining getaway. Top Spots to Visit: Nanguanxiang Historical and Cultural Block (Renmin Rd, Haining) – Step into a world of cobbled lanes, colorful facades, and awesome little shops. This is the best place for people-watching and feeling the city’s creative energy. I absolutely loved getting hands-on: made a shadow puppet. If you want to really connect with the city’s vibe, don’t miss these workshops — most run daily and open to walk-ins. Former residence of Zhimo Xu (No.38 Ganhe Street, Xiashi Town, Haining 314400, open daily 08:30–17:00) – Lit buffs, this spot’s for you. The museum offers a poetic deep-dive into one of China’s most famous writers—it’s a cool dose of inspiration, right where Zhimo Xu dreamed up his words. Before you leave, check out one of Haining’s mega leather and fur malls for shopping — seriously, it’s bargain galore, and the variety is wild. It's also worth to try hand making — we decorated a quirky hair clip, and even tried our hand at crafting a leather toy! Getting Around: Haining is super walkable and cabs are cheap—no car needed for these sights. If you’re venturing to other cities like Hangzhou or Shanghai, the high-speed rail from Haining is fast and efficient. Food: Snack your way through local street food stalls around Nanguanxiang—try Haining meat mooncakes for a savory treat. Tips: Craft activities are perfect for solo travelers or small groups! Bring cash for markets (smaller shops may not accept cards). #HainingTravel #ZhejiangAdventures #CulturalChina #TripTips #ShopLocal
