Compared to Suzhou and Hangzhou, the low-key Shaoxing is the real Jiangnan in my dream~

🌈 When it comes to Jiangnan, everyone's first reaction is 'Suzhou and Hangzhou', after all, there is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. But in my mind, the low-key Shaoxing is the real Jiangnan in my dream. There are not as many tourists here as in Suzhou and Hangzhou, so it is more quiet, and the non-commercialized ancient town is more full of life. Shaoxing is an hour's drive from Hangzhou, it's especially good to go there for a weekend and feel the 'real Jiangnan'. 🚶Shaoxing two-day and one-night tour guide Day1⃣️ Depart from Hangzhou by self-driving to reach Anchang Ancient Town ➡️ Ten Li Lotus Pond ➡️ Watch the sunset at Yangcha Lake ➡️ See the night view of West Xiaolu Historical Block ➡️ Stay in Shaoxing city area Day2⃣️ Cangqiao Straight Street ➡️ Former Residence of the Book Sage ➡️ Eight Character Bridge ➡️ Former Residence of Lu Xun ➡️ Orchid Pavilion to see 'Liu Li Guang Yuan' ➡️ Return to Hangzhou 🍀Recommended check-in points 1⃣️Anchang Ancient Town There is no hustle and bustle of the six major ancient towns in Jiangnan, it is more quiet and artistic, sit on a black awning boat, and feel a Jiangnan scroll slowly unfolding 2⃣️Yangcha Lake There is a 1.5-meter-wide and ten-kilometer-long ancient canal in the middle of Yangcha Lake, which was built from the Tang Dynasty to develop water transportation, it is especially suitable for waiting for a romantic sunset 3⃣️Ten Li Lotus Pond In summer, you can come here to feel 'the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different in red' 4⃣️City area Visit the Baicao Garden and Sanwei Bookstore in Lu Xun's hometown; see the night view of the small Jiangnan water town in West Xiaolu; eat authentic Shaoxing stinky tofu in Cangqiao Straight Street; go to the former residence of the Book Sage to take a set of unique photos 5⃣️Orchid Pavilion The 'Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection' in the textbook is written here, there are relics such as Wang Xizhi's Goose Pond and Qu Shui Liu Shang; there are also hidden relics of the Tianzhang Temple, and it seems to have come to the 'Liu Li Guang Yuan' after the rain 🍃Tour guide 1⃣️The best viewing period for Ten Li Lotus Pond is summer 2⃣️Shaoxing food: yellow wine popsicles, Shaoxing stinky tofu, shrimp cakes, soy sauce duck are all very good
