Last week I was in the state of Chu, and this week I've arrived in the state of Yue

Last week I was in the state of Chu, and this week I've arrived in the state of Yue. Last weekend I was touring the Special Forces in Wuhan. I visited the Hubei Provincial Museum and learned about the intricate relationship between the state of Chu and Yue due to the sword of King Goujian of Yue. This weekend I've arrived in 'Yue country' Shaoxing. Although as someone from Shanghai, I'm almost sick of the Jiangnan charm because the surrounding areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are where we most often go, I have to say after arriving that the water towns of Jiangnan are still beautiful. The Ying'en Gate Style Water Street was recommended by local relatives (elders), saying it used to be very lively, but now many shops have closed. However, looking at the lights at night is still nice. Our group of eight seniors, I just followed them here, and it really didn't disappoint!!! From sunset to night, it's so beautiful!!! We arrived after four o'clock, there were no people, and many shops were not open, we thought it was almost 'closing down'. But after the lights were on at night, more people showed up, the stalls opened, and there were people taking the boat rides, The boats here are decorated with fresh flowers and lit up, super pretty! It seems The main attraction here is to see the night view.
