You must take a trip to Shaoxing to visit the home of Mr. Lu Xun from our textbooks.

"It's said in Shanyin County, scholars are as numerous as crucian carp" perfectly describes Shaoxing, with its gray bricks, black tiles, and slowly moving boats. If you haven't heard of Shaoxing, you've certainly read about "From My Botanical Garden to the Three-Flavor Study." Shaoxing is truly a city worth visiting again and again. Once you arrive, the water towns of Jiangnan become vividly real. Touring Route 1️⃣Start your journey at the entrance, first visiting Lu Xun's Ancestral Home to experience his family's past. 2️⃣Then enter Lu Xun's Former Residence, which preserves his childhood and youth memories. The vegetable plots and walls in the backyard Botanical Garden seem to tell stories of bygone days, evoking the beauty of "From My Botanical Garden to the Three-Flavor Study." 3️⃣Next, visit the Three-Flavor Study, where the familiar desk and study layout make you almost hear the reading voices from the past. 4️⃣Finally, explore the Lu Xun Memorial Hall, where rich exhibits and materials thoroughly showcase his life and literary achievements, naturally inspiring respect. 📷Recommended Photo Spots 1️⃣Photo wall next to the Visitor Center: Take a picture with the smoking Mr. Lu Xun. 2️⃣Lu Xun's Ancestral Home: The family's old residence built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. 3️⃣Lu Xun's Former Residence: Experience where the writer spent his childhood. 4️⃣Botanical Garden: Revisit the content from textbooks - it's actually just a vegetable garden. 5️⃣Three-Flavor Study: Where Lu Xun studied as a youth. The original desk with the carved character "Early" is in the Lu Xun Memorial Hall. 6️⃣Lu Xun Memorial Hall: Displays Lu Xun's life story, manuscripts, and other cultural relics. 🍕Food Recommendations 1. Xiangheng Hotel: Adjacent to the former residence, with eye-catching Kong Yiji scenes at the entrance. Enjoy delicious drunken crab, tasty fennel beans, and savor the Shaoxing atmosphere. 2. Xunbaoji: Located on Cangqiao Straight Street with a nice environment. Tempting drunken chicken and specialty snacks like cream xiaopan will satisfy your appetite. Useful Information 🎫Free admission, reservations available on non-holidays. 🕓Opening hours: 8:30-17:00 🚢Wupeng boat: 60 yuan/boat, each boat seats 3 people. 🚗Transportation: Take the city rail to Shaoxing Railway Station and then subway Line 1 to Lu Xun's Former Residence Station, or from Shaoxing North Station take the recommended Dayu sightseeing bus directly there. If driving, park at Xiangheng Hotel parking lot (more parking spaces available). 🪭Nearby attractions: Calligraphy Sage's Hometown, Cangqiao Straight Street, Eight-Character Bridge, Yangming's Hometown, Fushan Park, and Xu Wei Memorial Hall are all within 1km.
