It's still Shaoxing that satisfies all my imaginations of the Jiangnan water town

If you want to go to Jiangnan, then I recommend you must go to Shaoxing once Narrow alleys, small bridges, stone roads, black awning boats... Here encompasses everything that people should have in Jiangnan, but it's more than that Shaoxing has produced many famous scholars since ancient times The stories here are romantic and heroic Every scene of this scholarly small city hides people's love and expectation for life . 🧘Two-day and one-night leisure tour route: Day1: Shen Garden—Lu Xun's Hometown—Xu Wei Art Museum—Cangqiao Straight Street Day2: West Small Road—Wang Yangming's Hometown—Book Sage's Hometown—Eight-character Bridge . 🚗Transportation: The attractions included in the route are all concentrated in the main city of Shaoxing, and the distance between the attractions is not far, it is recommended to walk🚶+ shared electric car🛵 is more convenient~ . 🏠Accommodation: Near Lu Xun's hometown or Book Sage's hometown . 📍Shen Garden (Shen's Garden) 🎫Daytime ticket 40, night 80 ⏱: 1-2h Typical Jiangnan classical garden, the garden is large, now the lotus in the lotus pond in front of the Lonely Crane Pavilion is open, the pure white lotus is very beautiful, I also like Dongyuan very much, a large area of rockery is staggered, the pavilion and water pavilion reflect in the pool is super beautiful . 📍Lu Xun's Hometown 🎫Free tickets need to be reserved ⏱: 2-3h Shaoxing's most iconic attraction, a must-visit place for tourists in Shaoxing, the most people, get away from the book and experience the real life from the Herb Garden to the Three Flavors Book House . 📍Cangqiao Straight Street 🎫Free tickets ⏱: 1-2h The 1st entrance is more commercialized, there are more shops and restaurants, it's very lively, the night view is very good, you can go for a walk at night, the 3rd entrance is obviously less crowded, and it returns to the original ecology more . 📍West Small Road Historical Block 🎫Free tickets ⏱: 1-2h The filming location of the movie 'Summer of West Small River', not commercialized at all, the whole street is not long, there are few people, both sides are old residential houses, very Jiangnan water town flavor . 📍Book Sage's Hometown 🎫Free tickets ⏱: 2-3h The hometown of Wang Xizhi and Cai Yuanpei, the cultural atmosphere is strong, calligraphy elements can be seen everywhere on the walls, the scenery is beautiful, my favorite attraction, strongly recommended!!! . 📍Eight-character Bridge 🎫Free tickets ⏱: 0.5h The old neighborhood is very original, the surrounding area is local residents, there are more elderly people, very suitable for humanistic street shooting . ⚠️Except for the historical blocks that are open all day, most other attractions have time restrictions, try to finish visiting before 16:00 on the same day . 🍜What are the snacks in Shaoxing❓ ✅Yellow wine popsicle: 💰5r, almost every scenic spot has a family selling it, it's quite delicious, if you haven't eaten it, you can try it ✅Shaoxing stinky tofu: 💰10r, unlike Changsha's black stinky tofu, Shaoxing's stinky tofu is yellow, the first time I tried it, I think it's okay ✅Yellow wine milk tea: 💰About 20, the wine taste is not very strong, sugar-free is also very good ✅Radish silk cake: 💰5r, the fried cake inside is radish silk ✅Shrimp cake: 💰5r, also fried, crispy and fragrant ✅Cream Xiao Pan: 💰7r, it is said to be very sweet, I dare not try ✅Mulan tofu: 💰5r, mint-flavored ice-cold taste
