#chinatrip #shaoxing Visiting Lu Xun's Native Place on a hot autumn day was like stepping into the world of one of China's greatest literary figures, despite the bustling crowds. The streets were filled with visitors eager to trace the roots of Lu Xun’s life and works, creating a lively yet nostalgic atmosphere. As I wandered through the well-preserved old houses, ancestral halls, and historical landmarks, I could almost picture the scenes of Lu Xun’s childhood, which would later inspire his powerful writings. The heat of the day was softened by the charm of the traditional architecture—whitewashed walls and dark-tiled roofs, set against the golden glow of the season. Though crowded, the energy of the place added to its vibrancy, reminding me of the enduring influence of Lu Xun’s legacy. Amid the hum of tourists, there was a quiet reverence for the man who had shaped modern Chinese literature, making the visit both meaningful and memorable

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.

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. ✌️

Compared to Suzhou and Hangzhou, I have a deeper affection for this understated dreamland of Jiangnan. The first time I visited Shaoxing, I experienced a different kind of Jiangnan with its green tiles, small bridges over flowing water, and slow-moving black-awning boats.

Hey everyone👋, I'm a serious travel enthusiast, and I just got back from a trip to Shaoxing. Shaoxing in March is absolutely stunning, and I have to share this guide with you all. Come on, let's embark on this dreamy spring journey together! 📍【Impressions of Shaoxing】 Shaoxing, located in north-central Zhejiang, is a city overflowing with history👏. Known for its canals, bridges, wine, and celebrated scholars, each accolade speaks volumes. In March, Shaoxing is in full bloom. Black-awning boats glide along the emerald waterways, passing by whitewashed houses with dark gray tiled roofs and weeping willows. The air is filled with the subtle fragrance of wine and flowers. Every step reveals a picturesque scene, gentle and poetic, as if you've traveled back in time to a bygone Jiangnan. 🚗【Transportation Guide】 ✈️By Air: Fly to Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport, a large airport with numerous routes. There are direct airport buses to Shaoxing with frequent departures, taking about 1 hour to reach downtown Shaoxing. Enjoy the scenery along the way. If you're in a hurry, taxis are also readily available, though more expensive. 🚄By High-Speed Rail: Shaoxing North Station has frequent high-speed rail services. Public transportation, including buses and subways, is easily accessible from the station, making it easy to get to attractions like Lu Xun's Former Residence and Shen Garden. Shaoxing Station is closer to the city center but has fewer train options. However, the surrounding area is well-equipped with convenient transfers😃. 🚗By Car: Driving to Shaoxing is smooth via the expressway. Pay attention to traffic regulations in the city center after exiting the expressway. Some old streets and alleys are narrow, making parking difficult. It's recommended to find a parking lot in advance. 🗺【Recommended Itinerary】 Day 1: Lu Xun's Former Residence - Shen Garden Morning: Head straight to Lu Xun's Former Residence. From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Bookstore, trace the memories from textbooks, visit the Zhou family's old house, and experience the environment where the great writer grew up. Lunch: Try the Shaoxing stinky tofu nearby. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, topped with special sweet or spicy sauce, it smells pungent but tastes delicious. One bite is incredibly satisfying😋. Afternoon: Visit Shen Garden, stroll through this classical garden, admire the architectural style of Song Dynasty gardens, and learn about the love story of Lu You and Tang Wan. In the evening, there's the "Shen Garden Night" show, which is beautiful and romantic. Day 2: East Lake - Baziqiao Historic Block Morning: Go to East Lake and take a black-awning boat through the unique waterscape, admiring the steep cliffs and deep lake, experiencing the perfect fusion of nature and human craftsmanship. Lunch: Have a bowl of Shaoxing yellow rice wine popsicles. The sweet, icy treat with a rich wine aroma is a unique Shaoxing flavor. Pair it with a few aniseed beans for a delightful experience😍. Afternoon: Explore the Baziqiao Historic Block, a place with minimal commercialization and authentic canal-side life. The bluestone paths, ancient bridges, and old houses exude a charming, everyday atmosphere. Day 3: Anchang Ancient Town - Return Trip Morning: Visit Anchang Ancient Town, where sausages and preserved ducks hang from the eaves. Take a black-awning boat along the river to admire the scenery, and visit attractions like the Master's Residence and the former site of the Bank of China. Lunch: Try the preserved meat clay pot rice in Anchang Ancient Town. The rice is perfectly cooked, the preserved meat is savory, and the bottom has a crispy layer of rice. It's incredibly fragrant. After lunch, buy some Shaoxing specialties, such as yellow rice wine, preserved vegetables, and Wang Xing Ji fans, before heading back. 📝【Practical Tips】 🎫Tickets: Some attractions, such as Lu Xun's Former Residence and Baziqiao Historic Block, are free. Tickets are required for Shen Garden and East Lake. Booking in advance on major platforms often offers discounts and allows you to skip the lines. 🕙Opening Hours: Vary by attraction. Check the official website or call for information before your trip to avoid disappointment. 📸Photography: Wearing Hanfu, cheongsam, or elegant, artistic clothing will enhance your photos in Shaoxing's old streets and gardens, resulting in stunning pictures. 🍱【Food Recommendations】 1. Mei Cai Kou Rou (Stewed Pork Belly with Preserved Mustard Greens): The pork belly is rich but not greasy, and the preserved mustard greens absorb the meat juices, making it a savory and delicious dish, a Shaoxing specialty. 2. Cream Pan: Shaped like an egg tart, with a sweet creamy top and a crispy crust, it's sweet but not overpowering, with a rich texture. 3. Ciwu Daman (Hand-pulled Noodles): The noodles are chewy, and the toppings are varied. The seafood noodles and shredded pork noodles are both delicious and satisfying. 4. Shengzhou Xiaolongbao (Steamed Soup Dumplings): Thin-skinned and juicy, with delicious meat filling, a basket of these for breakfast is a great way to start the day. 💡【Tips】 1.
