[2025 Shaoxing Attraction] Travel Guide for Cangqiao Zhijie (Updated Mar)

|||。Indulge in Shaoxing, that unknown tenderness of Jiangnan～|||Shaoxing, a water town in Jiangnan that captivates the soul, its charm is more restrained and profound than Suzhou and Hangzhou. The longing after parting is like aged wine, becoming more mellow over time. Strolling through it, the ancient simplicity and elegance are revealed between the blue bricks and black tiles. The whispers of history echo in the old streets and alleys. The boat gently sways, the water remains calm, and a series of cold yet gentle Jiangnan paintings slowly unfold before your eyes. Dreaming back to the era of Lu Xun: From the childhood fun of Baicao Garden to the tranquility of Sanwei Study, I seem to travel back to the scenes described by the master, feeling the Jiangnan sentiment of spring. Walking on the mottled stone road, holding a handful of fennel beans, sipping a bit of Shaoxing old wine, the leisure and romance of the city slowly flow between the lips and teeth. 📅Shaoxing Deep Tour·2 Days 1 Night Selected Route: Day 1: Explore the ancient charm journey —— The tranquility of Cangqiao Straight Street, the cultural imprint of Lu Xun's hometown, the gentleness of Shen Garden, the simplicity of Bazi Bridge, and the scholarly fragrance of the hometown of the Book Sage. Day 2: The perfect blend of nature and ancient towns —— The magnificence of East Lake, the tranquility of Angsang Lake, and the lively atmosphere of Anchang Ancient Town, bringing a perfect end to the journey. 🌈Five Must-Visit Secret Places in Shaoxing: Lu Xun's Hometown: Follow in the footsteps of the literary giant, exploring his childhood paradise and the hall of knowledge. East Lake: A filming location for Journey to the West, where cliffs and black awning boats together paint a poetic picture of Jiangnan. Hometown of the Book Sage: The hometown of Wang Xizhi and Cai Yuanpei, every inch of land is soaked with cultural fragrance. Anchang Ancient Town: A free-entry ancient town with the aroma of cured meat and a strong sense of life, adding a touch of reality and warmth compared to Wuzhen. Cangqiao Straight Street: A microcosm of water town style, with blue stone roads and black awning boats, where the smoke of life and poetry coexist. 🏨Accommodation Recommendation: Around Lu Xun's Hometown, convenient access to various attractions, enjoying the convenience and comfort of Shaoxing. 🚗Travel Tips: For the remote Angsang Lake and Anchang Ancient Town, it is recommended to use Hello Hitch, which is economical and environmentally friendly. If you are worried about motion sickness, you can choose the oil car service for a worry-free journey. Special reminder, use the cancellation protection service to add a sense of security to your trip.

Everyone can choose a weekend to travel to Shaoxing, 2 days and 1 night is enough~ My itinerary is not tiring, and it's budget-friendly, sharing it here for everyone's reference - DAY 1️⃣: Xishang Photo Shoot - East Lake - Sage of Calligraphy's Hometown DAY 2️⃣: Lu Xun's Hometown - Cangqiao Straight Street - Yellow Wine Ancient Town - 🌟Xishang Ticket: 0💰. Actually, I chose to go to Shaoxing just to take photos in Xishang. If you want to take good pictures, you can come here, but if you're just looking to enjoy the scenery, there's no need, you might be disappointed. Bamboo raft photo shoot costs 150💰 for about 1h. Xishang is far from the city center, it's convenient to take a taxi or drive yourself, just search for 'Xishang Renjia' to reach the shooting location. I took a rideshare from Shaoxing North to Xishang for 50r. 🌟East Lake Ticket: Scenic area 50r, Black-awning boat 35r Route: The black-awning boat has Line A and Line B, almost the same route, just one is round-trip, the other is one-way. If the queue is too long, you can skip the boat! Just walk to the middle of the scenic area and take pictures at the Fairy Peach Cave, it's worth it. 🌟Sage of Calligraphy's Hometown and Cangqiao Straight Street Ticket: 0💰, you can choose one of these two attractions, the scenery and food inside are almost the same, if you want to take photos, you can go to the Sage of Calligraphy's Hometown, where you can find Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. 🌟 Lu Xun's Hometown Ticket: 0💰 Remember to book online in advance if you go during holidays or summer vacation, otherwise, you won't be able to get in. I regret that I didn't manage to book even 2 days in advance, so I just wandered around the entrance. 🌟Yellow Wine Ancient Town Ticket: 0💰, directly accessible by Metro Line 1 A town overlooked by Shaoxing locals, it's great for an evening visit! There's no need to come during the day, but at night there are many performances, and this town is not commercialized, really comfortable and relaxing, away from the hustle and bustle of the city center. - 🌟Accommodation: I chose a place near the city square, convenient for traveling to various attractions by subway. 🌟Food: You can try stinky tofu, yellow wine popsicles (don't buy if over 5r! I was ripped off in the scenic area and bought one for 10r), yellow wine milk tea; smoked meats and cream small bread are optional. Also, the local delicacy 'Shao San Xian' was a rip-off for me, I ate near the scenic spot, 68r and not authentic, very sad. - If anyone has any questions, feel free to leave a message. I will patiently answer what I know, hoping to save everyone some trouble. ✌️

Hangzhou subway is directly accessible!!! Shaoxing is a very suitable place for literary and artistic youth. The small bridges, flowing water, and homes here, the harmonious coexistence of people and the natural environment here, are always telling the tranquility and elegance of this city, and it has also been naturally endowed with the attributes of play. When walking in the slanting sun and grass trees of the ancient city, ordinary lanes and alleys, you can see, learn, and realize, unknowingly, peeping into the "ideal country" of the soul. If you want to go to the south of the Yangtze River, compared to Suzhou and Hangzhou, the awning boats, stone roads, narrow alleys, small bridges and flowing water... This treasure town has all the poetic and picturesque of the southern water town, but it is not as commercialized as Suzhou and Hangzhou and there are so many tourists, but there is more comfort and tranquility. Even if it's just a simple one or two days of Citywalk, it's enough to play around the whole city of Shaoxing! The ink pool, ancient bridge, grandfather's old bookstore, and ubiquitous wall calligraphy and painting in the hometown of the sage of books, strolling among them, full of poetic and picturesque and bookishness! In Lu Xun's hometown, you can go to the same "From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Bookstore" in the Chinese textbook, take a look at where Mr. Lu Xun lived when he was a child, and you can also sit in a awning boat and feel the charm of the southern water town here. Walking in Cangqiao Straight Street, take a look at the old houses along the river, look at the beautiful scenery of the water town on Baozhu Bridge, and daze in the teahouse, it's simply too comfortable! There is a heart-shaped big tree in the historical block of West Xiaolu, which is the location of the movie "Summer of West Xiaolu", it is very quiet on weekdays, and there are also many art students to sketch. The eight-character old ancient bridge from the Song Dynasty to the present, both sides are towering camphor trees shaded by green trees, and there are some comfortable small shops scattered, coming and going here, there is really no lack of fireworks.

Cangqiao Straight Street is a popular tourist attraction in downtown Shaoxing, Yuecheng district. Whilst the street is packed with shops, restaurants, handicrafts, coffee shops, Shaoxing yellow wine sellers, it’s also a good place to discover local snacks and how they’re made. Surprisingly, I found long queues of people eager to taste local delicacies at every corner despite of the rain that day. I wandered in the alleys leading to the back of the street, where water canals with old Chinese architecture buildings and Wupeng boats 🛶 offer such a picturesque scenery. If you want a boat ride, there’s a wharf, a few meters from the main entrance on Guangming Road. Just walk along the canal on your left, you’ll spot it easily ✌🏼 Address ➡️ Cangqiao Straight Street, 仓桥直街 How to go ➡️ I took a taxi 🚕. The driver will most probably drop you at the main entrance or nearby. It’s a long pedestrian street so you can just walk at your ease. #urbanexplorer #oldtown #oldstreets #streetfood #streetshots #streetlife #streetart #zhejiang #shaoxing

Corner Coffee is a little artsy coffee shop along Cangqiao Straight Street. There are a few seats inside and a bunch of clothes, shoes, bags and hats on sale. The barista is accommodating and speaks English. After walking in the rain for a long time, I badly wanted a hot cup of coffee and some rest in a quiet environment away from the crowds flocking the street. I ordered a vanilla latte with oat milk which was perfect 👍🏼 Freshly made & not too sweet😌 They have other choices: Coconut latte, Hazelnut latte and the typical coffee choices. Prices are very decent. Mine was 33¥ ( 28¥ for a vanilla latte + 5¥ for oat milk) Address ➡️Corner Coffee, 犄角咖啡 Cangqiao Straight Street, 仓桥直街329号 How to go ➡️ It’s a pedestrian street, so if you’re taking a 🚕, it’ll probably drop you somewhere nearby. #coffee #coffeeshop #coffeelovers #coffeetourism #zhejiang #shaoxing #getawaytrip

😂I always thought Xu Wei was from Suzhou until I came to Shaoxing. 🌱Perhaps this is one of the meanings of "traveling thousands of miles." · 🍀Xu Wei Art Museum and Qingteng Study are together, right on Cangqiao Straight Street. Next to them is the Shaoxing Shiye Museum, so you can take a city walk together. · 🍀Xu Wei was an outstanding talent in the Ming Dynasty, with remarkable achievements in painting, calligraphy, literature, opera, and military affairs. · 🌸Xu Wei Art Museum · 🌱The area around Cangqiao Straight Street is full of water-town-style residences. The Xu Wei Art Museum, a blend of classical and modern styles, is really eye-catching in this area. 🌱The art museum was rebuilt from the old factory buildings of the former Shaoxing Machine Tool Factory. With its white walls, cyan roof, and giant glass, it has a classical and modern design. 🌱The interior of the art museum is also a picture scroll of light and shadow, and the red plum blossoms in the courtyard are just right, like a poem and a painting. 🌱The museum displays Xu Wei's calligraphy and paintings and introduces his life. Among so many paintings, I especially love those crabs. I think Xu Wei, who loved to eat crabs, must have poured a lot of emotion into painting them~ · 🌸Qingteng Study · 🌱Qingteng Study is the place where Xu Wei lived the longest in his life full of ups and downs. It was originally the Xu family's old house, and later renamed Qingteng Study because of Xu Wei's deep admiration for green vines. 🌱The study is a courtyard-style residential building. It is not large, but the environment is quiet and elegant. It is a building with the characteristics of a literati garden in Shaoxing. There is a centuries-old privet tree in the courtyard, which has witnessed the centuries of wind and rain in this small courtyard, and complements the round moon gate. The bamboo on the other side is reflected on the white wall, forming a natural green bamboo picture. · 🌸Xu Wei Art Museum Opening Hours ○Open from 9:00-16:30 Tuesday to Sunday, last entry at 16:30, closed every Monday. ○Free admission, no reservation required, digital experience hall 10 yuan. · 🌸Qingteng Study Opening Hours ○Monday to Sunday 08:30-17:00, last entry at 16:30, tickets 5 yuan.
