CYRUS RHODES

Here, aboard a flat boat, it feels as if one could traverse a thousand years

🛶 Are you tired of the bustling crowds by the West Lake? Come, let me take you through to Donghu in Shaoxing, a serene place forgotten by time, where not only does it share an inexplicable connection with the legendary 'Journey to the West' 🎬, but also offers a poetic journey as the black-awning boats slice through the water. 🍃 When mentioning Jiangnan, you might only know of the misty rain over Hangzhou's West Lake, yet you may not realize that Shaoxing's Donghu also has its unique charm. 🏕️ Here, there is less noise and more tranquility; aboard a flat boat, it feels as if one could traverse a thousand years, meeting the footsteps of the ancients at every turn. 🏞️ 🛤️【Tour Routes】 👉1️⃣ Smart Route: Walk in, boat back. A 30-minute stroll plus a 15-minute boat ride, exercising your legs while enjoying the elegance of the water. 👉2️⃣ Lazy Man's Blessing: Direct round-trip boat tour, 30 minutes to take in the lake and mountains, relaxed and comfortable. 👉3️⃣ Walking Exploration: Entirely on foot, though more time-consuming, allows you to savor every inch of the scenery. Recommended Route 1, time-saving and effortless, for the best experience! 🏃‍♀️🏞️ 🚣‍♂️【Riding the Wind and Waves】 🧘‍♂️As the boatman gently rows, the black-awning boat moves leisurely forward, with cliffs on both sides plunging straight into the water like knife cuts, each ripple whispering the low voice of nature. 🌿 At this moment, close your eyes, let your soul drift with the wind, and feel the detachment and tranquility of being in a well watching the sky. 📱【Booking and Photography】 🏷️Remember to book your tickets in advance, 💰50 yuan to enter this flowing landscape painting. 🚤Boat ticket tips: 40 yuan per person for a 4-person shared boat, want to take photos freely? 200 yuan for a private boat, at your leisure, snap away! 📸How to shoot a national style blockbuster: In flowing white garments, stand by the lotus pond, or on a quiet path, use a 0.5 wide-angle lens to capture the harmony between man and nature, each frame a blockbuster sensation! 👗📸 🍨【Taste of Donghu Memories】 Don't forget to try Donghu's special 【Private House Lid-Covered Tea Ice Cream】, the fresh fragrance of jasmine with the rich taste of Da Hong Pao tea, cool with a hint of tea aroma, adding a touch of freshness and sweetness to your journey. 🍦🍵 As the setting sun gently sprinkles on the ancient stone walls, you will truly understand that Donghu is not just a body of water, it is a witness to time, a perfect fusion of history and nature. Every look back is a tribute to the past, a hope for the future. 🌟
