Night Tour of Lu Xun’s Hometown | Literary Charm and Fireworks in Shaoxing at Night——The Jiangnan described by Lu Xun is even more charming at night! Former Residence of Lu Xun

| The literary charm and fireworks in Shaoxing at night——The Jiangnan described by Lu Xun is even more charming at night! Former residence of Lu Xun. 🌙 Night Tour of Lu Xun's Hometown | Literary Charm and Fireworks in Shaoxing at Night ——The Jiangnan region described by Lu Xun is even more charming at night! 🌌 Former Residence of Lu Xun The hometown of Lu Xun at night has lost the hustle and bustle of the day. The bluestone road glows under the warm yellow light, and the ancient buildings are as quiet as an ink painting. Wandering through it, the "Hundred Grass Garden" described by Lu Xun appears even more lush under the moonlight, and you can almost hear the chirping of crickets and the laughter of childhood. When there are few people around, you can enjoy this quietness all by yourself, as if it is overlapping with the master's childhood. 📚 Sanwei Bookstore Sanwei Bookstore looks even more quaint at night, with the warm light of an oil lamp illuminating the wooden table where Lu Xun once worked. There are no study tours during the day, only a few tourists strolling quietly. Touching the marks on the desk, one can seem to get a glimpse of the diligence and rebelliousness behind the word "early" of the young Lu Xun. If you visit during the Spring Festival, you can also experience the peer-learning activities at "Sanyu Bookstore" and feel the charm of the old private school. 🏛Lu Xun Memorial Hall There is a special kind of depth in touring the memorial at night. The exhibition hall displays Lu Xun's manuscripts, letters and daily necessities, which appear even more substantial under the focused light. Through the yellowed pages of "Diary of a Madman", one can seem to touch his sharp writing style and his passion for caring about the country and the people. There are fewer people at night, so you can stop quietly and listen to the echoes of the times in the audio guide. 🌿 Night Tour of Shenyuan Garden: A 200-meter walk from Lu Xun’s hometown is to Chen Garden. After nightfall, this place turns into the "Song Chao" theater! Carrying a lantern, stroll in the garden, play pitch pot, make tea, listen to music...immerse yourself in the elegance of the Song Dynasty. The highlight, "A Night in the Sunken Garden", interprets Lu You and Tang Wan's "The Golden Hairpin" with Yue Opera, with pavilions and terraces as the backdrop, and the poignant love story flowing with light and shadow, which can be called the "Jiangnan version of "The Peony Pavilion"". 🎫 Performance time: Sunday to Thursday 19:40, Friday and Saturday 19:00 (additional performances may be added on holidays) 🍢 Night market fireworks: the memory of the tongue in Lu Xun's writings How can you miss the taste of Shaoxing on a night tour? Luxun Middle Road Night Market has authentic snacks: Stinky tofu: golden and crispy, perfect with sweet and spicy sauce! Fennel beans + rice wine: the same as Kong Yiji, salty and fragrant beans with a slightly intoxicating aroma of wine. Rice wine milk tea: the collision of tea aroma and wine flavor, a Shaoxing-exclusive surprise. 📍 Recommended stall: "Kong Yiji" at the entrance of Xianheng Hotel, full of retro feel! ✨ Night Tour Tips There are fewer tourists at night on weekdays, so it is recommended to arrange time for the Shenyuan Night performance. It is best to go to the Lu Xun Memorial Hall, Sanwei Bookstore, and Lu Xun's Former Residence before closing time. The later it is, the fewer people there are. It is recommended to wear comfortable sports shoes. The Lu Xun's hometown scenic area is basically paved with stone roads, and there are many ups and downs of stairs. It is safer to travel light.
